Democracy means that you view issues of race, gender, sexuality, the environment, the workplace and the
like to be crucial spheres where the negotiation over identity, equality, and emancipation takes place.

      

    One Tribal Voice: One MAN'S thought
    on GOD and the POST MODERN CHURCH

"Democratic principles commit me and should commit you to a relentless quest for the sort of political behavior that speaks to
race, class, gender, economic arrangement, and social conditions that promotes a full productive life for the common citizen.
This translated means Good public policy and progressive politics."   Reverend Alan L., Joplin

Social Commentary is the act of rebelling against something in a rhetorical manner. This is done with the idea of promoting
change by informing the general populace about a given problem and appealing to people's sense of Justice.

Concerning the Church.

The church was founded by Christ. It is his church (Matt. 16:18). It is a body with each member fulfilling a specific and distinctive function (1 Cot. 12:20), with Christ as its head (Eph. 4:15; 5:23; Col. 1:18). It is a fellowship that cares and shares with those in need (Acts 2:44-47; 4:32-35). The church may be located at Corinth or some other specific place and is inevitably influenced by its location; but it must never forget that it is “the church of God” at Corinth (1 Cor. 1:2, 2 Cor. 1:1) or wherever it may be. It should challenge and lift the culture surrounding it toward the purposes of God. The church is the outcropping or manifestation of the kingdom of God, the instrument for implementing the evangelistic witness and the moral principles of the kingdom.
