How to Cause Racial Division in the Church: Details and Examples

There has been much written on racial reconciliation within the Evangelical Church, particularly when it comes to issues of hostility between the left and the right. The amount of work that has been done to try to bring people of color and white people into unity surpasses nearly every other genre of Christian literature in the last decade. But has it worked?

Compared to ten years ago, people of different ethnicities now say they are further divided than ever before. Despite the work that has been done to reconcile the races, it appears to have had the opposite of the intended effect. Therefore, to correct the plethora of "racial reconciliation" literature available that appears to be incorrect, instead, I'm going to give you examples of how to cause racial strife and show you some examples.

First off, if you want to cause racial strife in the Church, you must be a pastor, minister, or layperson absolutely sold out and dedicated to the cause. Writing such books as Woke Church by Eric Mason, Removing the Stain of Racism from the SBC by Jarvis Williams, or How to Heal the Racial Divide by Derwin Gray is a good start. These books, and these authors, do a fantastic job of hiding the actual effect of their teaching by calling it "racial reconciliation." By doing so, they can get you to read and follow their advice, thinking it will have a positive effect on race relations when in reality, it is actually causing more racial division.

Here is a blatant example of Derwin Gray encouraging pastors to continue to cause division in their churches by preaching about systemic injustice and racism.

Here is a perfect example of how to cause racial division in the Church. One way to do so is to point to the historic, orthodox interpretation of the Scriptures and call that "white supremacy." That way, anyone who applies proper hermeneutics to the Scriptures, tries to read and understand them objectively the way the author intended them, and then believes and attempts to live by them, can be labeled a "racist." Here, Southern Baptist pastor, Dwight McKissic does just that:

Of course, McKissic constantly complains about the racial division in churches yet never seems to acknowledge that he is the cause of it.

But let's not just look to McKissic as an example of how to cause racial division. Here is Jarvis Williams, a well-known and prominent professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. In the video below, Williams gives us a perfect way to cause racial division and hide it under the guise of a "good cause." Here, he indicts all white people and paints them all as racists simply by the very virtue of their skin color.
