Glenn Beck's statements about social justice demonstrate the limits of our public discourse. The issues raised by his comments and the resultant controversy are worthy of our most careful thinking and most earnest struggle. Yet, the media, including Mr. Beck, will have moved on to any number of other flashpoints before the ink has dried on this kerfluffle. Seriously minded Christians cannot move on from this issue so quickly.
I referenced Beck’s remarks in an earlier blog post. Dr. Mohler makes a good contribution toward “our most careful thinking and most earnest struggle” on this issue. Be sure to read his post. In sum, he says that, on the one hand, beware those who belittle “social justice,” which has a solidly biblical mandate. On the other hand, beware those who would make “social justice” a replacement for the message of the cross.
