A word or two on the word “#woke”:

For those who follow the way of Jesus, the idea of being awakened to things of which you were heretofore unaware is at the very heart of the gospel you profess to proclaim. The old King James had a word for it - “quickened”. Ephesians 2:5 refers to being dead/sleep in our sins - meaning completely unaware of or uninterested in their disastrous impacts personally and corporately. It then mentions being quickened/made alive/roused/awakened to those sins and their impacts.
