Found a statement regarding this book...."As others have already noted, the book is bad. Not just a little bad. A lot bad. Why? Because it puts hands and feet to a noxious ideology called Critical Race Theory (CRT). In fact, you might say that White Fragility is a project in applied CRT. As such, it is a toxic stew of racial animus masquerading as erudite theory. Its prescriptions are pedantic, infantilizing, and guaranteed to increase racial conflict rather than easing it." https://www.theaquilareport.com/why-white-fragility-fails/ More commentary and reviews here: https://www.theaquilareport.com/?s=White+fragility |

I hear what you are saying, Brother Frank. It's not likely an easy field to harvest.On the one hand, Jesus instructed His disciples to walk away from cities that rejected His Gospel. But they still had to try. Someone said once, don't know if he was right, that Livingston who was an original missionary to Sub-Sahara Africa had no converts. Today, faith is Christ is apparently sweeping the continent. He planted a lot of seed, and it took a while, but there is the harvest. So it's not an easy answer nor an easy mission field. But KLOVE says that they reach desperate people, and if their nonsense is making an impact, what would the real Gospel from a caring heart do? Last thought...everyone must stand at the judgment. You take away any excuse, as if they could muster one, by offering the Gospel. Their rejection is their own. Even the Sower dropped seed in non-harvestable places. |

I heard a sermon this past Sunday that briefly described what is called the "psychological self." Apparently there is a growing trend in which people really believe that what they think of themselves is true, no matter what that is, and that idea of themselves takes over their human persona so that it is no longer those persons who live, but, in their minds, the idea of who they are. So if someone comes along and refuses to support this idea because it isn't actually true...say a girl thinks she's a boy...that is "hateful" to the point of murder. Expressions of truth like, "no, dear, God made you a girl, not a boy. You are confused," could pop that bubble and be described as utterly hateful because it kills that false persona. It almost sounds like demon possession.It is but one strand of the tangled ball of socialism called Critical Theory and Intersectionality, I believe. It takes the Isaiah 59 society we live within to a whole new level. Instead, the Lord transcends all these ridiculous concepts. He is the One who made us and not we ourselves (Psalm 100). That means truth may not be comfortable, but it is both true and stable. Jesus, being the Word, is true. And He is the Rock in which we can build our lives. |

I appreciate the point you are making, Brother John. There are several aspects and Mrs. McC has attempted to explain it. I will also take a try. The church and the individual Christian has a responsibility to use the "talents" the Lord has given for the growth of His kingdom. We are responsible to Him for that, whether that be the cheerful sharing of financial wealth from a blessed harvest, a skill the Lord has developed, maybe time the Lord has granted.Marxist, in their many forms, seek to do this thru government action, not cheerful giving. In doing so, they also cut off a key aspect...sharing the Gospel and disiciple making...from the relief process. Too often, that relief becomes a means of sustaining behavior that is not God honoring. So, yes, you are quite correctly showing what the Lord says to each of us. But that is not the government's proper role to usurp the role of the church. |
