What's Wrong With Critical Race Theory? | The Stream

What's Wrong With Critical Race Theory? | The Stream: Critical Theory is also irrational in teaching that 'lived experience' gives the oppressed group exclusive access to truth that the so-called oppressor is bound from because of his ethnicity or gender. Granted, majority group members should listen to minority group members. Listening is prudent, it expresses love and it aids understanding. But we must be careful never to suggest that one’s race, gender or sociological identity gives them unchallengeable insight into all of reality. To affirm such is false humility.Critical Race Theory promises liberation for the oppressed, but it falls short in explaining or solving our current human problems. In its aggressive judgments, it quickly creates new hierarchies that destroy the value of other human life. Our fundamental identity is in our humanity and our relationship with our Creator, not in secondary and less important distinctions of ethnicity or sex.The theory’s promised liberation also follows on bad historical precedent. Too many regimes sought salvation through liberation, but at the expense of denying the life and liberty of others. Oppression is morally wrong, but so are sins of anger, unforgiveness, jealousy, revenge and pride. Seeking liberation through Critical Theory, Social Justice leads instead to more injustice.

Happy February!
As a new decade has started, many thoughts run through my mind. Visions, thoughts, dreams and all for one purpose... to advance the Kingdom of God.
What to do as the year is upon us.
1. Be grateful for the past victories.Being grateful is so important to keep things in a positive light.  
2. Learn from past trials and circumstances- What Did I learn from those trials? how did I handle them? 
3. Be self aware and do an inventory then repent, forgive and move forward!!!! Don't look back, remember Lot's wife and also remember that you need to look forward towards the windshield and not back at the rear view mirror
4. Rejoice for the future of what God has in front of you.
What dreams and visions do you have that you haven't seen come to pass? Habakkuk says "write the vision and make it plain. What things do you have to do for that dream to come to pass? Do you have to move? Go back to school? God will reveal that to you.

The bible talks about knowing in Ephesians 1 "that we may know the hope of His calling" and those who are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God.
God wants to do something new in you through you and in yours. You are important to God and more than ever God wants to pour out His Spirit in a greater measure to accomplish what you are to do on this earth.
You are loved by God and you are loved by me. Receive His counsel and His equipping as you spend time in His Presence.
