Christian Privilege

Long time, no talk to. It's been a busy travel schedule and I finally have a little down time. An article caught my eye this morning by Micah Rate in National Review about George Washington University holding a seminar on "Christian Privilege." That's right, the "privilege" of being the butt of seminars like these on university campuses, the butt of Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert jokes, pilloried on Facebook and social media elsewhere, and if you're really lucky, beat up by Antifa thugs. In other countries, it's even worse - Christian brothers and sisters get the "privilege" of being jailed, tortured, maimed and even killed. Heckuva deal, but no mind little facts like these when the seminar planners have an ideological or, dare I say, spiritual ax to grind. 

Which brings us to the student Christians that showed up for this GWU little lynching, not to shut it down but to have a discourse on the subject. They kept raising inconvenient facts like the ones above and pointing out the obvious that being a Christian is not something that is an inherited genetic trait but is open to everyone, regardless of race, color, ethnicity, etc. Unsurprisingly, the instructor who had arranged this little Nero-themed tete-a-tete could not rebut these arguments, so he simply tried to continuously brush them off and get on with the main event, burning them and others like them at the stake.

Well done GWU Christian students! In fact, it is a privilege to be treated the same way as Jesus. He promised us trials and tribulations in this life, just like He experienced, because the world didn't much like Him either. Press on because those who finish the race well in this life are promised an astounding time in the next. Blessings.
