2020 was an apocalypse. No, not the end of the world, as the term is commonly used. Apocalypse is a revealing. This year revealed many things:
- Many people, especially “Christians”, are incapable of sacrificing their own comfort and security for the sake of others.
- White Evangelicals are afraid of facing the unjust systems and institutions from which they benefit.
- White Evangelicals are morally bankrupt and incapable of bearing witness to our society in terms of the common good.
I had this thought the other day and I leave it as the prophetic word for this moment: “The idea that one does not need a mask, or be afraid of the virus, because of ‘faith’, is nothing but nihilism wrapped in Christian words.”
Peace,
Justin
