A Beautiful Community: Righteous and Just--What is good!

One of the challenges with the current social justice movement is that it’s not rooted in truth. Let me explain. In the middle of the last century (generally speaking) culture began moving away from the Enlightenment idea that something could be known through mankind’s reasoning ability. Trust in reason became an issue in the new postmodern construct. Reason leads to fact (reality, truth, objectivity).  Postmodernism is deeply distrusting of anything definitive. You’ve noticed this in the recent attempts to classify gender. How many genders are there? Someone following the Enlightenment model would say there are two genders while someone following Postmodern thought would say that gender is a construct and cannot be determined. 

Consider the ramifications of not having any type (Christian or secular) of foundational truth. How can a person know virtue without some type of foundation? As believers, we have a foundation. Scripture presents us a foundation of what justice and righteousness look like in a person who is knowable, God. Join us Sunday as we consider the foundation of righteousness and justice in the person of God, and let’s worship the source of virtue.
