"Someone who is aware of, and actively attentive to
important facts and issues, especially issues of
racial and social injustice.”
It’s an authoritarian worldview that seeks to deconstruct the foundations of our Christian faith by overwhelming, overpowering, and overthrowing those who do not adhere to its ideology.
WHAT MUST WE DO?
Adopt A Biblical worldview
A comprehensive, panoramic perspective from a particular standpoint.
Colossians 2:8-10
8 “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental
spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,
10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over
every power and authority.”
