Christianity and Wokeness: How the Social Justice Movement Is Hijacking the Gospel - and the Way to Stop It
There is no divine design in wokeness; there is only one’s personal identity, following one’s own heart, and expecting others to affirm one’s chosen path. This is what love is in wokeness: not transformation, but affirmation.
“Whiteness” as a category overlooks the reality of ethnicity.
There is no such thing as “race” in the modern sense. There are not different forms of humanity constituted by different skin colors. At the same time, our ethnic background is not nothing—to God or to us.
Christianity and intersectionality—and wokeness more broadly—have polar-opposite views of the sexes.
Divisiveness is a constant characteristic of every community without Christ.
God’s plan was unity for His image-bearers but not uniformity; distinction and difference and diversity are not viewed negatively, but positively, in the biblical worldview.
We do not have a customizable Savior. We do not choose one who looks like us and thinks like us—this is what the natural man does, striving to match his natural partiality with his spiritual desires.
In woke Christian thought, the Gospel can give us a new birth, but it does not overcome and defeat our inherent participation in “whiteness” (if we benefit from it).
No person can be silenced because of their skin color.
