The Christian faith is by nature conservative\u2014in a theological sense. The Scriptures are replete with verses pointing to the unchanging and enduring nature of God and the Bible. Revelation 1:8 says, \u201c\u2018I am the Alpha and the Omega,\u2019 says the Lord God, \u2018who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty\u2019\u201d (ESV throughout). Malachi 3:6 says, \u201cFor I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.\u201d Isaiah 40:8 says, \u201cThe grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.\u201d Hebrews 13:8 says, \u201cJesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.\u201d These verses do not mean that the biblical text cannot be distorted or manipulated by self-serving people, but it does mean that the Bible is not a party platform that gets updated every four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully, there are countless others who are faithfully preaching and teaching God\u2019s word. These congregations are often small and do not receive any media attention. Many are led by pastors more concerned with preparing their members for eternity in heaven than getting souls to the polls on Election Day. Some of these churches have vibrant ministries for men, women, and families. They are committed to remaining faithful to biblical ethics regarding sex, sexuality, marriage, family, and the sanctity of life without any concern for whether elected Democrats\u2014or Republicans\u2014agree.<\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liberation-minded pastors who reject the biblical definitions and descriptions of sex and marriage are incapable of doing the work needed to rebuild the Black family. They fashion themselves as brave prophets, but they make race and politics twin idols that draw their hearts\u2014and pulpits\u2014away from God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christians are often told to beware of wolves in sheep\u2019s clothing. That is wise counsel, but what\u2019s even more dangerous is a wolf in shepherd\u2019s clothing. The former can devour a few sheep before the others scatter, but the latter can lead an entire flock over a cliff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One ray of hope is the biblical theme of God\u2019s mercy on those who turn from their wicked ways and trust him. The pattern in both the Old and New Testaments is quite familiar. God\u2019s people rebel. He rebukes them. They reflect on their sin and repent. He restores them. This is my prayer because the Black family needs the church to function in its God-given role now more than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
