WOKE: (wok) adj. 1. able to understand how cultural, socio-economic, philosophical, and historical realities inform our responsibility as believers in Jesus Christ. The church in America should have rejected the first whispers of slavery. But we didn't. We should have preached about the image of God when the dark-skinned among us were declared subhuman. But we didn't. We should have stopped segregation and Jim Crow before they affected our communities. But we didn't. We should have protested racial profiling and police brutality before anyone else. We should have been woke, but we've been asleep. Dr. Eric Mason challenges the church in America: "Get up, sleeper, and rise up from the dead." It's time to take a hard look at our history and stand together against the indignities and injustice in our world--to understand that justice is both theological and sociological--that there is no intimacy with God without justice in one's heart. No more waiting. No more sleeping. Christ our King is coming back, and He'll be looking for a WOKE CHURCH.
