| Who's liberating whom? |
If this person’s concept of “oppression” was any group that resisted the normalization of abortion, trans-genderism, homosexual practice, and group marriage, you would do well to ask this person to define "moral" and "oppression."
But this is exactly what is happening today. Activists sipping Critical Theory at the university see themselves having a moral duty to “liberate” people (including children) from the “oppression” of Christo-normativity. They're on a bold, impassioned and heroic mission.
Such activists see Christianity as a “hegemonic power” stuck on the ideas of Higher Law and a Higher Authority to Whom we are all accountable. Critical theorists believe it is their moral duty to not only silence Christianity, but to oust it.
Liberating people from the oppression of Christo-supremacy is now part of social justice.
Who can be opposed to social justice? Yet the term “social justice” (like the term "oppression") is something other than what Christians think it is. That’s because Christians view these words through the lens of Scripture, while "Social Justites" [my term] view these words through the lens of Critical Theory. These are two radically different lenses!
Critical Theory activists are fighting Christianity in the name of “justice,” and many are out to win this war at any cost, even if it means imposing their norms on everyone else by force. This is the great irony.
What can we do to counter C.T.?
My short answer is what the Mother of Jesus told the servants at the wedding where the wine ran out: “Whatever He tells you to do, do it.”
We need a lot of water-changed-to-wine miracles right now.
As for myself, I'm training teachers how to help students view all subjects in the context of a biblical worldview. I believe children can't be wholly educated without this skill, and teachers can't wholly educate children without it. I'm in the liberation business, too. Setting kids free through Truth. (Want some help? Contact me.). But my work is a drop in a very large ocean.
What is the Lord telling you to do? What's the “plow” He has put into your hand?
If you don’t have a ready answer, pause and give it some prayerful consideration. It’s serious business.
We're in the WWII of our day.

| If you think my case is overstated, read David Horowitz's well-documented book Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America. Horowitz is a self-described agnostic Jew. He was formerly a leader of far-left activists, until a friend was murdered by the people Horowitz was helping. He knows whereof he writes. It's helpful to view the war from the perspective of a former insider. View a video clip of Horowitz speaking to a group about his book here: https://youtu.be/ANP7pN_i7xI (Speed it up by viewing at 1.25 or 1.5 speed.) |
