On June 7, 2020, I felt led to address the difference between the biblical worldview and the worldview that I think comprises the most dangerous false gospel in our culture, that of Marxism/Critical-Theory/Critical-Race-Theory/Intertextuality. https://kenwoodbaptistchurch.com/sermons/lot-chooses-sodom-not-the-land-of-promise/

In short, I preached against CRT/I, which threatens to tear both our society and our churches apart.

How did I get there from Genesis 13? Well, if CRT/I is true, and if it's a perspective from which Moses would operate, we would expect Moses (1) to show Abram acting as a powerful oppressor, and (2) to denounce him for his position of power and oppressive practices.

Moses does neither of those two things. Though Abram is wealthy and in a position of power, Moses does not portray him oppressing Lot but acting in love toward him, and Moses utters no word of condemnation about the wealth, power, and advantage Abram enjoys.

For Moses, Abram has wealth, power, and advantage because God blessed Abram.

In all the talk about economic disparity and privilege and so forth, we need to remember 1 Samuel 2:7,
"The LORD makes poor and makes rich;
he brings low and he exalts."

Why does God make some people rich, others poor, some high, others low?
Romans 11:33,
"Oh the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!"
See also verses 34–36, Deut 29:29, etc.
