SOMETHING TO PONDER (8/18/22)
“In a recent sermon, Ed Young shared his definition that started from a google search of the term ‘woke’ as paganism, prideful, and a cult. Apparently, Young ignored the fact that definitions cannot be manipulated to accommodate pre-determined personal whims, without being intellectually insulting. His view is such a huge stretch from Merriam-Webster’s google definition of the term to mean, “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)”. After reading the article at churchleaders.com, it’s sad to me to see Young devolved into this sad myopic conclusion. This actually shows how little he understands the concept and worse, how it resulted in Ed Young using the pulpit to misinform.”
