Are You A White Supremacist?





“…. Two things came to mind: the beautiful young things of the reformed renaissance have a hard choice to make in the next decade.  You really do kid only yourselves if you think you can be an orthodox Christian and be at the same time cool enough and hip enough to cut it in the wider world. Frankly, in a couple of years it will not matter how much urban ink you sport, how much fair trade coffee you drink, how many craft brews you can name, how much urban gibberish you spout, how many art house movies you can find that redeemer figure in, and how much money you divert from gospel preaching to social justice: maintaining biblical sexual ethics will be the equivalent in our culture of being a white supremacist.”     Carl Trueman  


Intrigued? Take a minute and read the entirety of this individual’s post; realize if you are under 30 years of age, in a position of leadership serving the youth of our day, you will face the greatest immediate challenge (next to parents) in dealing with this as you attempt to apply truth in their arena of life. The fact is your own worldview has been affected by the mores of this attitude so prevalent in our culture today. No matter the era “holding to a standard of truth in love” given a generations particular bent (its pushing of moral boundaries), is difficult. Now that the philosophy of “tolerance” has had its time to become fully entrenched as the standard to test all things by, it should be easy to see the truth of the authors last statement…. If you cannot you prove my point of your own capitulation. So how will you deal with this? Or will you be a "White Supremacist". Yes the world is painting you into a corner. it is up to you to re-present Christ allowing Him to do the thing he does best; not be contained.
