Cancel Culture

We are living in the glorious time of the cancel culture. Yes, most call it an overreaction to civil, cultural, and political events happening now, but I think it's a beautiful thing. Conservative Evangelicals created a cancel culture against anything deemed counter to the faith, and the tactics of public shaming and boycott are now coming back to haunt them. After Louie Giglio's "white blessing" remarks, Christianity is in a downward spiral seeking to grab on to some semblance of relevancy in a time when so many stalwart institutions, voices, and symbols of faith are falling like Confederate statues. Instead of seeing cancel culture as a problem, we should see it as an opportunity to change, repent, and distance our faith from systems of hatred and intolerance. Jesus calls us to a new way of dealing with power structures, where everyone is valued and has a voice. In the kingdom of God, everyone matters in culture and society. All are made in the image of God and are equal. All matter equally. This is the vision of the kingdom of God. Any other system that devalues humans isn't of Jesus and has nothing to do with the creator of the universe. Good builds up all. Good gives all a voice. God is good. Sin operates on hierarchical systems of inequality. Sin is selfish. Sin oppresses. Sin doesn't care about tomorrow. What system do you want to be part of? Come along for the ride as we skewer through life, culture, and spirituality in the face of a changing world. www.SNARKYFAITH.com
