					<description><![CDATA[In a tweet, Skye Jethani–host of the “Holy Post” podcast–recently said this of generational guilt: When we willingly accept responsibility for sins we did not commit we look like Jesus on the cross. When we refuse to own the sins of others to maintain our self-righteousness we look like the people who put him there. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I confess I have a hard time these days knowing where David French is on the intellectual and theological spectrum. He constantly claims he is conservative, and I’m guessing he may still be on different issues. But formerly, French seemed like an unimpeachable conservative. He did not appear to care what people thought of him. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In recent years, various evangelical leaders have embraced or voiced support for elements of the ideology I call “wokeness.” One of the most important–and surprising–instigators for this shift is the widespread embrace of a small, 172-page sociology book. Divided by Faith: Evangelical Religion and the Problem of Race in America was written by Michael O. [&#8230;]]]></description>

In this article, I’ll address this very difficult question, one that is causing great confusion in American society but especially in the Christian church.
