The Church Becoming a Circus, Part 1
This has all been playing out in many institutions throughout the USA and the world for decades. Institutions that were once considered bastions of conservative thought have steadily moved toward the Left. Many have been watching the SBC over the past few decades and noting the tremendous changes that have been taking place there largely due to the leadership of people like Russell Moore, head of SBC’s Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission. One has to wonder why such a commission is actually needed when the results of that commission seem to be moving the entire SBC denomination away from its biblical foundation?
Identity Politics Officially Enters the Southern Baptist Convention
When groups like SBC start believing the lies of the Left, we have a serious break with truth. It’s been a long, slow, steady slide for the SBC, but it appears that they have finally jumped the biblical shark because they are now going after “ghosts” and “goblins” that the Left claims are racist. SBC has bought the lie. Let’s keep tabs on SBC to determine whether or not more people of color will be invited into the vaunted higher positions that mainly white men have held for decades. That would be the proof of SBC’s intentions.
Identify Politics Finding Its Way into Church
Jesus was not worried about identity politics. His job was to reach out to the lost sheep of Israel because of their high calling to be a light to all nations. God’s plan of redemption was clearly delineated in Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. All who will come to Him may do so if they want salvation. It does not matter their gender, their culture, or their station in life. Salvation is freely given to all who come in faith.
