There is a difference between gospel-centered diversity (ethnic, political, cultural) and token diversity. The former understands and does the work of listening and loving charitably across lines of difference. The latter celebrates optics, but rejects the tension.
.@pweiser Over 4 million people are demanding justice for Elijah McClain. As you investigate his murder know that we are watching. We expect you to hold the officers who killed him accountable. https://t.co/aW59Y5mLib
#ElijahMcClain should be alive today. In a few weeks, it will be the 1 year anniversary of his death. His killers still have not been brought to justice & petition starter Piper needs your help to put pressure on decision-makers: https://t.co/6sA2T50cyU
There are, in the end, only two ways to read the Bible: Is it basically about me, or basically about Jesus? In other words, is it basically about what I must do or basically about what He has done?
Younger generations are suspicious of biblical ethics. Older generations, of biblical justice. Jesus says you must have both if you are going to follow him. Word AND Deed. Grace AND Truth. Love AND Law. Ethics AND Justice. "You must repent" AND "Remember the poor."
