Especially when color has determined much of life experience for many vulnerable, marginalized people… I’d say it’s the opposite of what the Bible teaches on empathy, justice, and loving neighbors to not see color let alone teach others they shouldn’t either.
Woke isn’t even a term a left leaning person would call themselves. When Ed, and his friends, use the term it is just a boogeyman dog whistle they created to use for fear mongering and ultimately to keep as many churchgoers voting Republican as possible.
@@Brandon.Germany in Christ there is no difference. Paul also says he assimilated to all other cultures for the sake of the gospel. Don’t pick and choose which parts you like to justify your inability to be compassionate for those who don’t look like you.
So many young Christians need to hear this, but their pastors and their parents refuse to acknowledge the enemy’s hand. Great work connecting it all together, with the ice cream and glasses! I thoroughly appreciate it. God bless you.
at 7:28 "Like any cult though, there are cults out there, they take terms that we are very, very familiar with, they redefine them. A definition that I have come up with... " Hmmmmm.
Wokism has become the complicated religion for the lost and damned. Truth, as in God's word, is the answer to all darkness in the world regardless of complexity. To this day, even the most complicated problems can be solved by the most simplistic answer, Truth, God's truth.
I appreciate Dr Young's bold yet candid sermon!! Please do not listen to the critics that would try to shut you up or shut you down, keep standing for truth!!
I don’t like churches talking about politics, but in a world where morality has become co-opted and corrupted by different political factions, some things need to be mentioned. Was nice to see a church addressing the subject of woke-ism. I was however frustrated with the lack of scriptural references(1 verse!?). What is a “biblical worldview” of wokeness if we don’t know what the Bible says?
@@andykorb655 he does in the next version. However, he takes the verses and changes them to what he believes we think. It was pretty sacrilegious. Couldn’t believe what I was seeing
I am a Christian and I am saved by Grace but I really know that Children are honer thier parents if they want to leave a long life and we don't know when Father coming back!
Its all buzzwords and redefining philosophical concepts he knows nothing about. Even the most superficial of google searches would reveal his lies. Marxism isn't a way of organising economy (but it sounds scary), Critical race theory was also another buzzword deliberately implanted as a bogeyman by right-wing think tanks, Nietszche's quote on God being dead is taken out of context, Deconstruction was coined by Derrida (whose work was inspired by Heidegher, who in turn was inspired by Luther's protestant reformation). One truly wonders why it is they demonise universities. Reminds me of ye olde times when churches were arbiters of 'truth' towards the illiterate, except today the illiteracy is self-inflicted.
Having grown up in it, I can say it’s pretty common in evangelical circles. The pastor is ‘anointed’ and virtually untouchable. Any criticism is ‘persecution’.
@@lodhi8972 Both, because while most all of his sermons are a misinterpretation of the Bible, this one is particularly egregious. Also, notice how all of these comments have been liked by Ed Young and/or his marketing team, but no response to mine. Really makes you think about how confident these guys are in their argumentative interpretations of sacred texts.
Great sermon! We need more of this. We need to be hearing these truths more than ever. At the moment we live in a country where the church can still have these open and honest conversations. Pretty soon we may not.
Great message. 🔥👏🏻 Praise God for truth and men who are willing to speak about it. 2.4K views and only 124 likes. The truth is a hard pill to swallow but Jesus is faithful to set us free from deceptive thinking.
The Lord will hold the cowardly "pastors" accountable! Cowardly "christians" in general. They are not worthy to even be called a "pastor" or stand behind the pulpit! The Church as a whole will continued to be tested. Only those who endure faithfully to the end will be entering in. There's no room for compromise in The Church! Period....
Great set up to the message series! Can’t wait to hear part two! By identifying and articulating this topic/system/ideology…it helps bring clarity and confidence.
So far this seems to be a sermon on extremes. The wokeism he’s speaking of is a small percentage of people. You could make the same argument he is making about the far right as well.
Creationist: A person who doesn't believe in science but believes science has disproved science. A person who believes science has proved something that scientists don't realize they've proved.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Of course Creationists believe in science. We just don’t buy secular science because it’s as inaccurate as flat-earth logic. • There is more evidence in a Creator compared to zero evidence in a random and causeless universe. Things unreasonably existing without any creator is against physics. • When secularists talk about the origin of our universe, they speak as if they are time-traveling psychics. • Atheists are hypocritical, they claim to believe in "facts" and "evidence" but their own standpoint frequently change and retcon. It also takes no evidence for them to believe in unseen claims. They only use proof arguments as smoke-screens, and they use science as an underhanded agenda.
Pastor did a good job explaining the made up word WOKE. happy to see him attempt to attack the LIE of WOKE. the first definition he put up was correct. I was originally meant to stay alert during segregation and the height of the civil right movement. but he did a good job on the message.
I can’t tell if I agree with you are not. I agree he attacked a straw man he set up. So I guess you could say he did a good job knocking down his own fake boogeyman. Is that what you mean?
If I can just to help you along the way. The word woke is actually something that came from urban communities to help us to be more aware of our surroundings on something bad was happening or something suspicious was happening. It has nothing to do with the current state in which it's used
Thank you for the message and delivery. I think the professors you're calling out are few and very far between. The books you publish probably have been called "not based in truth" and probably seen by many to simply further your position in your field and to deepen your pockets. Professors are generally great people, like pastors
More like rock-candy drugs. (crack-cocaine, crystal-meth, bath-salts, etcetera.) Because every time one of them gets triggered, they begin to foam at the mouth and scream like banshees.
Being woke means to acknowledge that racism, colorism, sexism, misogyny and other forms of racism and oppression exist and to speak up about those isdues.
This man has been fed an extreme amount of misinformation; the “research” he’s done is just fringe articles on the internet and he’s taken that as fact
@@Brandon.Germany what name calling? I have lots of real arguments as do my many other pastor friends (I’m one too) in the same location as Ed. It’s been ridiculous for each of us to watch him use straw men, not use scripture in any real way as the foundation of his position, twist and even make up definitions. There’s so much here that is dishonest and creating some boogey man that doesn’t exist in churches that care about their neighbors and know that’s Jesus explicitly sees color because he sees individuals with a past, present and future and has compassion on individuals for their individual circumstances. Paul assimilated to cultures and cultures are often created according ethnic and racial lines. I just don’t understand how any reasonable person trying to love God and follow the Bible could possibly see value in this made up, politically-driven, not scripturally supported, PR move of a sermon series.
@@andykorb655 spot on. I don’t get it. As a “woke leftist ,🙄” I literally don’t see the definition he came up as correct at all. I don’t look at people this way. I don’t call people racist for not agreeing with me. All I care is that someone listens to others experiences about growing up in your culture instead of trying to debunk the whole thing bc it makes you “uncomfortable “ I’m literally NOTHING like the “cult” he’s discussing. It’s heartbreaking
Ed I've been saying that for years, let's celebrate our heterosexuality eternally! I do not see people by they skin color, rather by their actions and words! Get behind me Satan!!!
yeah, don't try to empathize with people that are different than you! tell them they're sinful and stupid for thinking you should put yourself in their shoes! Can I get an Amen?!
Did you address this topic with you black congregants? Did you address this with area black pastors? I know many born again people of color that would agree with you. And a white guy preaching this sounds more white supremacy that any kind of reconciliation.
To say that this pastor is a white supremacist is absurd. You're obviously not paying attention at all. Calling every white person you disagree with a 'white supremacist' actually exposes your own racism.
@@stanallport6746 I went to Bible college too. Ed is wrong. This term was appropriated from ‘stay woke’, a term used primarily by the black community to mean stay informed and aware about racism. Look up singer Haddie Ledbetter if you’re interested. Ed is not just ‘preaching the Bible’ here. He’s regurgitating the same stuff you’ll hear daily on Tucker Carlson. Side note- please be careful assuming the title ‘pastor’ means someone is above reproach or criticism. It certainly does not.
@@Pdubbcooking the person i was replying with was a fraud, posing as a pastor to lend credibity to his bickering.. he was so insulting, his comments were removed...if ed is wrong about the origin of the term, that sfine..the notion that he has to get permission from pastors and black congregents ws absurd. i can debate racism all day long, but basically i agree with the message Ed brings here.
You say a cult redefines things. Then you immediately create your own definition of ‘woke’ so that you can tear it down. This is a very weak straw man and people should be able to see right through it. Really really weak content creation here pastor.
10 Symptoms of the WOKE mind 1. You read books and don’t burn them. 2. You embrace science. 3. You are willing to change your mind when new information becomes available 4. You understand most issues are not black and white 5. You believe in true equality for all people 6. You like to share 7. You embrace cooperation 8. You respect other’s rights 9. You believe culture and the arts have values 10 You care for the planet and all its life Kind of what you find in the beatitudes
Romans, 5:12-21 ("Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned") You never heard the term “original sin?”
LGBTQIA has nothing to do with WOKE you guys cram all this together to scare your followers. This has no context with the scripture that was used at all. Come on man I pray people don't fall for this. It's amazing how none of you quote Paul when he said this 1 Corinthians 8:13, KJV: Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. If we are supposed to be brothers in Christ my issues and concerns are not enough for you to listen and join me to help ensure we truly live by the principles of GOD. But that's right we don't really read the Bible we only listen to what the Pastor says.. I get it.
Can Christians be Woke?
Can Christians refuse to see color?
