An astute observation, Pastor Slavich. Just as it is wrong to label someone a "Christian Nationalist" simply because they voted for Trump, or to label someone as "racist" simply because they don't use the BLM hashtag, so it is wrong to label someone as "woke" simply because they promote third-wayism and/or the existence of institutional discrimination. Lord willing, those within our theological camp will come to see not only the false dichotomies on the progressive side, but those on the conservative side as well. There are genuine and legitimate political differences between confessing believers, and some of those differences are not insignificant, but we won't solve our disagreements by treating political (or, to use your word in this piece, "cultural") differences as theological ones.
Well spoken, Danny. God bless your participation in the SBC’s meeting.
Thanks, Pat!
