Christians are part of communities where we do want to help the community to try to buttress, to build up, to strengthen and to serve those who are in need. And in particular, the most vulnerable among us who are children. But we must insist on doing that honestly and a part of that honesty is knowing that there is no social structure. There is no bureaucratic program. There is no government entity that can wholly replace a missing parent or an inadequacy in a family.

Scripture asserts that we all have sin, but it does not say that each one of us has every kind of sin. Each of us has a different sin that ‘so easily besets us.’ Some of us wrestle with lust, others with greed, many with pride, others with despair. And some with racism. But Scripture never says that we all have every KIND of sin. To say that we ALL are racists (but of course the implication is that only one color of skin is guilty) is an unbiblical assertion. It is also sinful judgment.

We all now find ourselves in the Orwellian world of Cultural Marxism. --- Melvin Tinker
