"The social justice movement in America is a political cause, not a spiritual one. It is predicated upon grievance, is fueled by resentment, and sees worldly power structures as savior. None of this sounds like Jesus. What is sounds like is the racist, white nationalist garbage it claims to despise...."
"The perpetuation of race a distinguishing and identifying element in the human experience is the precise opposite path anyone who desires racial reconciliation would counsel. Yet this is precisely what social justice advocates facilitate by going so far as to deem any white person who promotes Martin Luther King's dream of a colorblind society a latent racist. When they should be promoting the Biblical view of "one blood, one race," they elevate racial divides and make sweeping generalizations about races that are just as repugnant as the idiotic and hateful neo-Nazi signage."

"In a sane a world, the church of Jesus would be boldly confronting both of those manmade movements and presenting the better way forward (Gal. 3:28; Rom. 1:16-17). Unfortunately, at least for now, a portion of the church has chosen to identify itself with those who think politics and manmade power will solve a problem only God can heal."
These are just a few selections from Peter Heck's insightful article titled, "Social Justice is a Political Cause, Not a Spiritual One." It is the most concise piece I have read thus far on the issues of the day related to race, social activism, and the proper response of the Christian church.
