The racist, kinist, and ethnonationalist response to the adoption, by the majority of the NAPARC churches, of a simple, short condemnation of racism/kinism illustrates why this action was necessary. Most of these accounts are anonymous, but some of them are in our churches. The people behind those accounts need to hear the law of God applied concretely to this sin.
They need to know that their views are outside the pale and that they need to repent.
Preaching the law of God, calling sin what is, and seeking repentance is not virtue signaling. It is a basic part of the ministry of the Word of God.
