Summary

“Cancel culture” is a newer cultural phenomenon whereby a group of people attempts to remove an individual’s or organization’s power, platform, financial resources, or livelihood. It takes place when people perceive that the target has transgressed against moral or social norms. But it’s not really new. It’s been around since the beginning. How should we live in such an environment?

I. React Calmly

II. Resist Firmly

III. Reply Clearly

IV. Respond Humbly

V. Rest Inwardly

Talk with God: Ask the Lord to give you a heart of compassion for those who may attack you for your beliefs, so you won’t return “evil for evil or reviling for reviling” (v. 9).

Talk with others: Ask a fellow believer how you can pray for them and support their walk this week.

Talk with kids: How does Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac point us to Jesus?
