Welcome to the conversationsations, That Matter Podcast. My name is John Harris. We are going to

get practical today. I get emails or messages every once in a while and they'll say this John I appreciate your research I

enjoy the podcast I just don't know what to do with the information you give me how do I

fight this on the local level whatever it may be I mean we focus on different topics and the hot topic for the last

year that seems to be what a lot of people are talking about is critical race theory but of course I know that that's just one one

slice of the pie in the social justice paradigm but I think it's a good question

and that that's something that only you can answer in your

specific context. I think it's our responsibility to stand for the truth, stand

for Christian ethics, stand for the truth of the gospel. I do think that

critical theory does threaten both

those things. It threatens Christian ethics because it has a completely

different understanding of justice. It's a redistributive justice instead of equality of opportunity and I should actually

more accurately say equality before the law which is really what the

picture you see especially in the Old Testament, the word mishpot. It is an

equality of outcome and you have that going and then you also have the

when it comes to the gospel you have a false secular gospel a man-made

gospel that is actually a gospel competitor that's probably the best way to look at it

because it's all it's kind of like a Christian heresy it's got

an Augustinian framework it's got repentance it's got forgiveness it's got

sin you know original sin which is the white privilege.

It's got this whole framework that you have to work out.

And when I say forgiveness, it's not a forgiveness
