Christian brothers and sisters,
You don’t need to get woke, embrace the folly of the social justice movement, or join #BlackLivesMatter to stand against hate, racism, and murder. You just need your Bible and the most well known children’s Sunday school song ever.
“Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness’…So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” -Genesis 1:26-27
“You shall not murder.” -Exodus 20:13
“Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” -Matthew 22:37-40
“He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth.” -Acts 17:26
Our perishing neighbors and our burning cities don’t need Christians to get woke, become social justice warriors, and take up Black Lives Matter signs. Our perishing neighbors and our burning cities need Christians to wake up, become Gospel warriors, and take God’s Word, God’s Law, and God’s Gospel to perishing sinners. Here’s the social revolution Christ enlisted us for:
“Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ Amen.” -Matthew 28:18-20
