There are a lot of questions that arise from such a scandal. This article is just my attempt to work out my own questions and reflect on what lessons we can and must learn from this tragic situation.
Christians and “Cancel Culture”
Modern society has invented its own means of defining morality and carrying out justice apart from God’s ways. How do we determine right from wrong? By whatever is culturally trendy, of course! How do we punish those who transgress society’s ever-changing and inconsistently enforced standards? Cancel Culture!
Critical Theory is Anti-Gospel Mind Poison
I’ve been researching Critical Theory, which fuels the ideology of many modern “social justice” movements (e.g., BLM), and I’ve found that it is anti-Gospel mind poison. The Gospel is all about reconciliation, healing, and justice; Critical Theory is divisive by design and results in only hate, violence, and injustice.
Unleavened Bread and the Gospel
Did you know that God gives us physical things to do in order to teach us spiritual principles? Indeed, He didn’t give us a bunch of random commandments just to watch us jump through religious hoops. He is a loving Father, and His Torah (instructions) is designed to teach us His character and His truth. Every “jot and tittle” in God’s Word has a profound Spiritual purpose—whether or not we recognize it from our limited perspectives.
