increasing pressure on churches to embrace their causes

            and their views for “Social Justice”.

            As a result, a few churches have formed alliances with

            these  secular  organizations  to  pursue  solutions  to  a
            litany of social injustices. Some have embraced “Social

            Justice”  along  with  “Woke”  repentance  as  their
            preeminent  approach  for  remediating  injustices  to

            “racial”  minorities  and  other  so-called  oppressed
            groups.  But  “Woke”  repentance  is  not  repentance  to
            GOD;  rather  it  is  an  act  of  submission  and  complete

            sympathy with loyalty to so-called racial justice causes.
            Wokeness  is  a  token  act  that  many  embrace  to  cover

            their  alleged  guilt  from  “racial”  mistakes  and
            transgressions.  Some are using it to shame others.


            As we discussed in detail in Chapter 8, “Social Justice” is
            contrary  to  GOD’s  justice.  It  is  inconsistent  with  the

            Gospel. One of several serious issues is the overt lack of
            forgiveness  embodied  in  the  “cancel  culture”  practices

            of “Social Justice” warriors.  This is why secular justice is
            problematic for faithful followers of CHRIST. As we will

            discuss in Chapter 10, CHRIST and CHRIST alone gave us
            complete and lasting reconciliation. That reconciliation is

            more than sufficient for overcoming the sins of “racial”
            hate  and  strife.  Therefore,  churches  that  embrace

            secular  justice  over  the  sufficiency  of  CHRIST’s
