On Wednesday, two Southern Baptist pastors, Tom Ascol of Florida and Tom Buck of Texas, called on delegates to rescind Resolution 9. Passed in 2019, Resolution 9 allows for Critical Race Theory to be used as an analytical tool but also stated that it should be subordinate to Scripture.
The root problem with critical theory is not how the American story is told, but in pre-empting any critique or debate. That sort of thinking cannot be successfully countered by emulating it. The only way to fight bad ideas is with better ones.

A former Black Lives Matter leader is speaking out against the organization's failure to improve the "quality of education for [Black] students in Minneapolis" and to help rebuild Black families.
If you’re like many white Americans, you knew little (if anything) about the Tulsa Race Massacre before recent days and weeks. We can therefore speak and act in ways that communicate racist messages and deepen racist divisions without knowing we are doing so. Here we see the wisdom of the early Christians in selecting believers from the Greek-speaking part of the church to lead in responding to the needs of Greek-speaking members.

This week, I hope to persuade us to take two biblical steps in response to the racial divisions, discrimination, and violence that persist in our nation. We will explore the first step today and the second step tomorrow.
Kellogg's is working with LGBT advocacy group GLADD to celebrate LGBT Pride Month in June. This move has caused a lot of parents to push back against company for taking up a political agenda. But the real controversy isn’t that Kellogg’s is peddling gender confusion. The deeper issue is why the woke folk at GLAAD—who are hell-bent on fighting racism, are happy to take money from the Kellogg’s company whose creator, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, was an “extremely racist person” and a leader in the now-discredited eugenics movement.
More than 50 SBC pastors and members have reportedly signed a new resolution condemning critical race theory and intersectionality.
As Tulsa pauses to mark the 100 year anniversary of the racially motivated Tulsa Massacre, Rev. Robert R.A. Turner and other Black people of faith are saying that the time has come to repay as well as to remember.
