When The Church is Part of the Problem
My response:
Let’s be honest, “the church” (the version that does not act on the character of Christ) is a big part of the problem, today, on 1/6/21, and throughout history. I only expect them to be quiet, make excuses for authoritarianism under some perverted view of God’s sovereignty, and continue to be self-serving.

The version of the church that has the character of Christ will not be silent, will continue to serve people, will advocate for justice/righteousness, and will defend the vulnerable. All of this is part of the Gospel ministry, which is not only “spiritual” work.
Luke 4:18,
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;”
