Woke ascribes to the unbiblical philosophy that only two groups exist in history: The oppressed and the oppressors. Wealthy, educated, successful people are oppressors; everyone else is oppressed. To question the sacred doctrine of CRT is to be racist.
Jesus ministered to everyone crossing racial, ethnic, and national lines. We should be aware of injustice and oppression. Justice for the weak and oppressed is urged in Scripture (
Isa. 1:17;
Micah 6:8). God is not an elitist. He shows partiality to no one (
Gal. 2:6,
Eph. 6:9) — few
Christians would argue otherwise.
Christians lead the world in helping the poor, elderly, widows, and orphans (
Psalm 68:5) as we should. In 2021, American Christians
donated over $145 Billion to charities, making Christians by far the most loving, caring people in the world, but that’s insufficient for the woke.
Wokeness teaches that we are not responsible for our own lives. We’re born privileged or oppressed. The Bible says we are personally accountable for our sins (
James 1:13-15). God created us all equal.
Acts 17:26 says we are all created “of one blood.” The sin of racism requires repentance, like any other sin. Wokeness replaces repentance with reparations.
