Memorial Day, Women Church Planting, and More!
Our week begins with a holiday, Memorial Day, which means Americans are not working that day — are they ever not working? — but Substack goes on.
On Tuesday Carolyn Moore, author of When Women Lead, tells her story of planting a church. She’s honest, candid, and she’s gained wisdom for the ages. Whether you are a woman church planter or not, you will want to read her story. Join us — in fact, get your staff to join us.
In their insightful book about how the major themes of the Bible’s narrative — creation, sin and fall, redemption, and consummation — show the need for and evaluate Critical Race Theory. Unfortunately, some think CRT is a zero-sum game but approaching any discipline as a zero-sum game both devalues the discipline and fails to evaluate the discipline. Romero and Liou have offered all of a fair-minded approach.
When evangelicals and fundamentalists were rupturing the seams between various groups, the “scholastic” dispensationalists chose to use the style of Hal Lindsey and thereby began the erosion of dispensationalism. George Ladd led the wave of school after institution turning their back on dispensationalism, and then dispensationalism went into political activism behind Tim LaHaye.

Based on the analyses I’ve seen CRT is a zero sum game. There’s no way to satisfy the demands of CRT. Even the pursuit of honest attempts at racial reconciliation is viewed by the proponents of CRT as proof of racism. CRT seems to lead only to destruction and never to reconciliation. I’ll be interested to see if the authors show a different path.
