Christian Leadership and the Ideals of a Progressive Ideology.

 

Ideals of a Progressive Ideology.

I am White

Heterosexual

Male and

I am a Christian.

These are the four most dangerous characteristics a person could have at present.

This  means in the eyes of those who follow a progressive ideology, that I am the lowest of the low, a scum bag and I swim in the filth and slime of all that is wrong in this world.

 I am an oppressor, a racist and I have white privilege ingrained in my DNA.

I am a Transphobe  who, by my very existence are a violent threat to those who have no idea what gender they are. I am violent  through my language and my micro-aggressions, these are offenses so slight that just standing in a person's presence could offend them.

 I am by definition a misogynist and as a male I am unsafe when around women or those that identify as a woman. I am also a bigot, a real and present threat to society, the LGBTQI+ community and the world at large.

 However I am told that there is hope for me, as long as I attend classes  that can highlight my ingrained racism and indoctrination classes that bring about a clearer understanding of  diversity, equality and inclusiveness. These things will teach and ingrain in me what I need to know and make me a more productive citizen in this modern community, as long as I don't transgress.

I will be welcomed and embraced with open arms into the bosom  of the WOKE cult.

I will not go into the almost cultish practices of the Woke movement and the so called progressive ideologist at this time.

What I will say is that this WOKE movement in less than a decade has made some huge strides into our communities and society, and this includes the church, the body of Christ.

The gains have been made in three areas. First the family, they wish to destroy the involvement of men or as they call it the patriarchy and what they see as the western nuclear family. Men for the most part are predators and are unsafe and by their very presence within a situation can perpetuate violence against them. You don't have to be guilty of misogyny to be a misogynist you just are. It is better for everyone if you were not in the picture when it comes to the family.

Secondly,  Education. Progressive Ideology has permeated into our education systems at every level. From gender fluidity classes in our youngest children to the hounding of academics' at some our leading universities out of their jobs. There only crime, speaking out against the stupidity and illogical pronouncements of wokery. Critical Theory rather than Critical Thinking has become the norm, where students are lectured on what to say and think, rather than thinking the idea through to its logical conclusions. Students become activists  and a mob rather than sound thinking professionals.

Thirdly, our very culture is in danger of falling foul of the daily nonsense's of the so-called progressives. We have moved our culture from one of honor and dignity to one of victimhood, where everyone has become victim to whatever slight perceived or otherwise may be received.

We have the revolution of gender affirming personal pronouns where we can identify in whatever way we wish and however we may wish. For the record mine are; It and she, but only on a Wednesday afternoon after 5.00pm. Sound stupid it is but I have tested this and in the madness of my work this is perfectly acceptable.

The affirmation of sexual orientation and identification has somehow become the key topic and at the head of every agenda. It is no longer right to identify as a man or a women, you have to identify as cis-gender. It is perfectly OK to identify as a Trans-woman and see themselves as a wolf.

Lastly in order to change our prevailing culture the woke movement need to change the historic narrative: that religion for the most part is myth and oppressive, wealth should be redistributed if it is found that your riches have come from the slave trade.  All white people are racist and that by being white we are by definition the oppressors no matter what socio economic background you may have, you have white privilege and a danger to everybody else in society who does not identify as white.

 

How do we defend against such insidious attacks? How do you defend yourself when you are called homophobic and transphobic?

We take a leaf out of Jesus' notebook. We remain silent which is always a good way. Or we can admit that we are transphobic and that we do not accept their definitions. Remember it is not the names people call us that defines us. The opinion of the loony left does not in anyway deflect from what we say and do and who we are. Jesus said: " I am the way, the truth and the life" (John14:6). It is on these precepts that we live not theirs.

The myth of Ministry Leadership.

The myth that all leaders are leaders. Not everyone who leads in church is a leader. I think it is wrong, for Church leaders to believe that those they train up to take various ministry leadership positions, are in fact leaders in their own right. They are not. At best I would categorise these people- that many churches call 'ministry leaders' as ministry managers.                 "At one level there is nothing wrong with title inflation; it is a cheap way of recognising people who work hard and make serious contributions" Jo Owen. I am of the opinion that this title inflation undervalues both the leader and the ' ministry manager' and can often bring about confusion and mismatched expectations. Many churches have ministry training evenings for their volunteers. Many use the reason for this training is "to make a person a better leader," when in fact the only thing actually happening is that th...

The 1970's Christian Coffee Shop

I remember as a new Christian being invited into a Christian Coffee shop in the town where I grew up. It was clean and tidy, the table tops were all brightly painted in different colours,  but mainly yellow and scattered on top were a random selection of Christian tracts. Fish symbols and Christian posters proclaiming that there was but 'One Way' to heaven were everywhere. The music playing out of the stereo was The Bill Gather Trio or Dolly Parton singing Gospel. The crockery, was a mixed assortment of coffee mugs, donated by keen supporters of this outreach to the unsaved sinners and ungodly people living in the city. The coffee was a local brand heavily mixed with chicory. In all the years the Coffee Shop operated, I never saw a non-Christian go in and I never heard of a person coming to faith through having coffee there. I never really understood its purpose. Fast forward to today, when I was asked recently, to advise on helping a local community church open a c...

Playing well with others.

Today's rambling. Looking over some of my old school reports the other day and was amused at how some of the comments, that teachers made about me have shaped my life and in many respects made me who I am today. One teacher wrote that I didn’t play well with others, I was 5 at the time maybe I had an excuse. Another teacher in my high school years, the wood working teacher or wood shop teacher for my American friends wrote; “If you value your life you will keep him away from power tools and other dangerous equipment. I can’t remember why he wrote this, obviously I did something that made him fear for his life. Today as an adult I have to say that I don’t do well in committees, for most of my life I have been self- employed. I have steadfastly stayed away from power tools and other wood working equipment, basically anything that can cut something off and is a danger to life and limb. Over the last 10 years I have been looking at and teaching about Emotional Intelligence ...
