As Red Eagle and I mentioned in Cuckservative, there is nothing
that drives the modern Churchian evangelical like the desire to demonstrate that he is not racist:
When Michelle Higgins addressed a gathering of 16,000
evangelical students meeting in St. Louis this week for a missions conference,
she brought the same intensity and fervor she’s often displayed as a leader of
the Black Lives Matter movement.
Ms. Higgins, a St. Louis native and director of Faith for Justice, a protest group devoted to “Biblical activism,” minced no words when she told the crowd what happened after Michael Brown was killed last year in Ferguson, Mo.
“When I first heard that our brother had been killed, we began looking for churches to host discussion groups,” said Higgins, also the director of worship and outreach at a local congregation. “All of our evangelical partners said, 'We’re not ready to talk about race and justice; we’re not ready to talk about police brutality and mass incarceration; we’re not ready to talk about the fact that black bodies are grotesque to us – we don’t want to admit that.' ”
Her provocative words at the 2015 Urbana conference, a student gathering co-hosted by the conservative campus ministry InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, not only laid bare some of the deep racial divisions in the United States after the killings of Mr. Brown and other black men over the past year and half, but they also went directly to the fact that, as a whole, evangelical Christians remain among the least likely to have sympathy for the Black Lives Matter movement.
But at the Urbana conference this week, many evangelical student leaders and others have expressed full solidarity with the emergence of the protest movement. Worship leaders onstage, a diverse group leading worship with the kind of praise music that many evangelical churches are known for, wore Black Lives Matter T-shirts and sang songs in Spanish, French, Korean, and Swahili, as well as English.

Those
"evangelical student leaders" are pure SJW entryists. Any church that
accepts them into leadership will be led astray. Whatever it is they worship,
it isn't the God of the Holy Bible. And whomever it is they follow, it
assuredly isn't Jesus Christ.
Here is a reliable heuristic for the Christian: if a fallen world lauds you for what you are doing, the chances are very good that what you are doing isn't in line with the Will of God as expressed in the Scriptures.
