The narative test, a few thoughts

God’s Justice is always about reconciliation that leads to redemption. Christ NEVER directed his followers to seek retribution. If your “Justice” movement is about retribution, it’s of man not God.

If the loudest most prominent voices in modern popular culture are agreeing with your world view ,chance’s are it’s not a Kingdom view.  Proclaiming the Kingdom of God to a lost world requires courage. Agreeing with popular cultures memes is easy.  If you agree with Jeff Bezo’s and Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg isn’t censoring some of your ideas, the odds are they aren’t the teachings of Christ.

While it’s certainly fine to ally with those who aren’t Christ followers to make the world a better place. Remember in the end they all need the redemptive power that only faith in Christ can bring.

Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. A movement of God holds truth as essential. If your narrative doesn’t hold up to this it requires reexamining. And if you aren’t willing to debate the truth of your narrative, it’s propaganda, not prophecy.

Your commentary must match your lifestyle, if you’re preaching about the sanctity of marriage while you’re having multiple affairs or lecturing us on our carbon footprint from the Cabin of your G4 or berating us on the evils of Capitalism while your own multiple million dollar estates, chances are intelligent people aren’t listening. While hypocrisy doesn’t invalidate truth it most certainly negates it’s impact. And if Elitism is the foundation of your world view, it is the opposite of Christs world view.
