A Woke Worldview Splinters Churches and Accommodates Sin: Rev. Franklin Graham

“If you want to boil down what wokeism is, it’s all based about sex. And that is homosexuality, it is transgender sex, same-sex marriages. It is couples living together outside of marriage, and of course, don’t want to be condemned.”

From a distance, many Christian churches look alike. They may have a steeple and stained glass windows and sing familiar songs, but the theology is increasingly different as independent churches and some denominations adopt a woke worldview, splintering denominations and splintering what it means to be a Christian.

Today, some churches are among those that fly the rainbow flag to welcome the LGBT community. Some in the LGBT community have become preachers. Some dress in drag in the pulpit. Many of the same churches are telling their congregations when to support abortion. They speak of racism, climate change, and politics.
