We are living in a tumultuous time. Our economic,
social, and political orders are all evolving and shifting. Our city
streets are filled with protests and counter-protests. Social media is
awash with strong opinions. People around us are taking sides on all
kinds of issues. Friends have distanced themselves from us because of
things we have said or done. Perhaps you have ventured into this melee,
or perhaps you have held back for fear of being “canceled.”
How do we navigate these tricky times as Christians? How do we think about social justice from a Christian perspective? How do we deal with the rejection that will surely come simply because we take a Christian view? Using the examples of Jeremiah, Martin Luther King, Jr., John Wesley, and Jesus, we will examine how we can participate in bringing God’s just kingdom to earth while facing the opposition that it will bring.
