Minneapolis Burning and Black Privilege

This looting and rioting is hitting close to home (near me) with promises of more to come. What lies at the heart of these issues? I'm nearly all talked out with frustration, and mostly frustrated by what I'm hearing from some professing Christian leaders.

But enough of what I think, agree with him or not Doug Wilson makes many thoughtful points. What do you think? Read it HERE 

He concludes with this:

So here is the gospel, straight and true. It addresses the central problem of every human heart, which is that we are all of us crooked and false.

Christ is the eternal Word of God, and He took on human flesh in order to be able to die. He lived a perfect sinless life, ran afoul of the authorities, was arrested by the police, was crucified, died, and was buried. On the third day, He rose again from the dead, and ascended into Heaven, where He was seated and enthroned at the right hand of the Ancient of Days. On that great coronation day, He inherited every black tribe and every white tribe, not to mention all the other tribes, and declared His everlasting purpose to do something glorious with all of them.

That “something glorious” did not include building a whites-only country club. That “something glorious” did not include looting a store and running off with a free PlayStation.

I admit to being somewhat frustrated because there is so much more to say. But here it is in a nutshell: Christ is everything. America needs to be pierced to the heart. It is Christ or chaos. If you get the chaos, it is because you loved it more.
