I know the memories of our historical heroes are sacrosanct. While I have celebrated Martin Luther King Jr.’s history-changing eloquence on individual and societal morality and his relentless pursuit of justice, I can’t ignore his blind spots.
Love is love, right? Nope. God is love. When we understand that and how love is defined in 1 Corinthians 13, we can’t pretend that our culture’s brokenness is something to celebrate.
You are reading my words, today, because my birthmom didn’t end my life. Despite being a victim of rape, she did not make me a victim of abortion. For that, I’m eternally grateful.
Much of the meeting was easily disprovable propaganda. Here are a few points that need context and lots of correction.
SA Commissioner Kenneth Hodder recently and emphatically proclaimed in an online video: “Let me be clear. We believe only in the Bible. We endorse no social philosophy, and we never will.” That’s clearly not true.
Abortion is legal through all nine months in Massachusetts. Abortion is funded, for any reason, through the state’s taxpayer-funded Mass Health program. And now having an abortion qualifies Bostonians for a taxpayer-funded vacation “parental leave.”
The video had plenty of blame and self-denigration. It was incredibly hard for me to believe this was the organization that I once served, for years, as a chapter Board member. I don’t even recognize Bethany anymore.
There is always a predictable response from pro-abortion activists, politicians and the news media to any pro-life measure. They’ll exploit the horrific tragedy of rape.
I’m half white and half black. My melanin doesn’t change my worth or my propensity to sin. Yet we live in a culture where we are told that our skin color confers upon us a status that is fixed, assigned by an elite class of humans who call themselves “scholars.”
I’m not challenging whether Lecrae is a Christ follower, so I’ll start with the ridiculous “I’m politically agnostic” assertion.
At every turn we’re being commanded to check our color, check our privilege, check our to-do-lists of guilt-oriented tasks. Corporate America has taken genuflection to a whole new low.
Tired of fake Christian pastors? So am I. I’m particularly put off by those who run for office in the U.S. Congress dressed in sheep’s clothing but are really just wolves.
I’m sick of being reduced to a color. Why does a mere refraction of light create so much confusion, assumption and division?
