Would like to have heard more about the attack (from within) on the Evangelical church being racist. My Evangelical church just handed out to graduating seniors resources from TGC and 9 Marks about how to seek out a church in college recommending ethnically diverse churches and ones that varied in different classes of society. That is identity politics and CRT - "If only we could be more diverse." In order to fulfill that charge, one must look at the color of another person's skin. My Evangelical church in essences is recommending more racism.

This would fall under Renn’s category of cultural engagement + seeker sensitivity. They’re trying to maintain respectability to outsiders. It’s a fool’s errand, unless they go the full 9 yards and affirm LGBT ideology, egalitarianism, etc they’ll never be respectable to pagans

Having a varied and diverse congregation is a sign of a healthy church that is living out the great commission. I'm sure you're not against that.

We’ll find out this summer if the SBC will go apostate.

[@HearGodsWord]

Some would say that it already has.

Albert, how do you see churches like Crossroads in this conversation? Churches that use (loud rock worship music with strobe lights, serve alcoholic drinks during introductory mens church meetings, women pastors/preachers for main Sunday services, etc...)?

Hilarious to see Mohler to get all defensive about the dates: “it was already bad when I was growing up!” Typical Boomer shirking responsibility for anything.
