disorder and disaster, and this series sounds an inspiring call
for the church to awaken and engage your culture with
clarity and conviction on important issues, standing confidently on truth,

Awake when you give Just call one eight hundred three
five oh Walk one eight hundred three five oh nine
two five five. Now let's get started with today's teaching
from doctor Young.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Today my subject has to do with the critical race
theory that you find in the woke world.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
In which we live.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
This week, doctor Ben Carson, most of you know who
he is, probably one of the greatest neurosurgeons who's ever lived.
A candidate for president, served in the candidate director of HUD.
He was on campus because he is writing and presenting
(01:27):
with his group a curriculum for schools that will deal
with patriotism and with faith. So he was here with
our head of school and others as we look at
that in the process. Doctor Carson has been a longtime
(01:50):
personal friend of mine. He and his wife, Candy, I've
been in their home, They've been in my home, so
that's a prize relationship. So I knew in one of
his books he had written about the critical race theory.
So I brought doctor Carson's wife here and we got
stood together and before camera, I interviewed him and I
(02:14):
asked him to say, in understandable terms what the average
person would get and understand about the critical race theory.
So here is that brief interview with doctor Carson. So
doctor Carson give us a workable, homespun definition of the
(02:41):
critical race theory so everybody understand it.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
When we talk about this quite a bit in our
book Created Equal, it stems from critical legal theory, and
critical legal theory says that our whole legal system was
set up to preserve white superiority, white supremacy, and critical
(03:07):
race theory is then becomes a subset of that, and
it's meant to make sure that the racial hierarchy is
maintained with whites on top, and it really talks about
some of the pretty awful things that happen in our country.
You can't deny that there were some terrible things that
(03:28):
absolutely but it then utilizes that to try to create
a platform to build upon. Now, you know, we have
a choice as a nation. Do we want to build
upon our greatest mistakes or do we want to build
on the tremendous successes that we've had, because the two
(03:49):
lead to very different places. And you know, critical race
theory would have our children in dividing themselves, you know,
making white kids feel guilty because their oppressors and all
of their relatives are oppressors, making black kids and minorities
feel like they're victims. And you know, it's probably the
(04:15):
worst thing you can do to a person is to
make them think they're a victim, because if you think.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
You are a victim, you are one exactly right.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
And that is really hurting a lot of the progress
that has been made. I mean, in my lifetime, the
country has changed dramatically. I mean dramatically. I remember as
a six year old going to Chattanooga, Tennessee and seeing
(04:43):
the whites and colored signs, and I remember the adults saying,
make sure you observe those. You don't have to do
that when you get back to Detroit. But Detroit was
a whole another different type of racism.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
But that was as a kid.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
And also when I was a kid, when a black
person came on television in a non servile role, it
was a big deal. You called everybody into the living room. Hey,
look at this, I mean, this is incredible. Now look
at today black generals and admirros and CEOs of fortune,
five hundred companies, and heads of foundations, Ivy League, presidents,
(05:24):
President of the United States two times, a vice president.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I mean, the list goes on and on. That's in
one lifetime.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
So to say that we have a system that doesn't
respond and doesn't change, it's totally inaccurate. And if we
wore a horrible, systemically racist place, why would people be
trying to form caravans to get in here? And when
they got here, wouldn't they call all their relatives and
friends and say.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Don't come here, this is the worst place. No, that's
not what's happening, is it.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
But tragically, what we see today through these years is
not the whole story of America and the African Americans
that we brought over here as slaves.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I watched a little.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Bit of the Alabama Texas game. I will not mention
that I went to the University of Alabama. I've kept
that quiet. But yesterday, by the way, most of you know,
(06:47):
I love history. I majored in history and college my
particular love was American history. But yesterday I went back
and I looked at four hundred years of life in
America for the African American who was brought over here
(07:10):
as slaves. You know, I sort of knew all that,
but I didn't have any concept of the length of
the bigotry, the prejudice.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
The inhumane way.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Americans treated fellow human beings made in the image of God.
It's called chattel slavery, as if they were animals and
not human beings. So we have to remember the length
of all that. I've put sort of a little scale
(07:54):
up here, a little bit so you can see some
of this. The Declaration of Independence seventeen seventy six, Emancipation
Proclamation eighteen sixty three, when Present Lincoln by executive order
right in the middle of.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
The Civil War and the Civil War.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
You say it was about states, right, Yes, that was
a little bit, But the major emphasis of the Civil War,
I am convinced was over slavery, the legitimacy of slavery,
because if you know your history, slaves first came over
here in sixteen nineteen, and I do not buy the
(08:39):
sixteen nineteen phony history. That's not what I'm saying. But
they came with the settlement of Jamestown, the Massachusetts Bay Company,
and they came primarily for profit and for gold.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
A little later we know.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
About Plymouth Rock, when pilgrims came because they loved Jesus
and they wanted to worship freely and independently in a
new land.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
So a totally different ballgame.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
But in Jamestown, the secular invasion of our country, they
brought with them slaves, first slavery in our history. And
then we know from that moment. Listen, roughly two hundred
and fifty years.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Just hold on to that number.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Two hundred and fifty years, we treated fellow human beings
made in the image of God as if they were animals,
and sometime worse than we treat our own animals.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
That's the truth.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And I realized the length of that, and the shame
of that, and the evil of that. And then we
go down the timeline Emancipation Acclamation, the Civil Rights Act
passed by Congress in nineteen sixty four, And there's been
(10:07):
all the way.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Through this something like four did years.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Doctor Martin Luther King began his public ministry in nineteen
fifty five, a graduate of Morehouse College. He'd earned his
PhD there in Boston. And then we know he begins
his public ministry after prayer, knowing that the only way
for his people to be a part of the American dream.
(10:37):
The Constitution was written by wealthy men, intelligent men, supposedly
god fearing men. But eight the first twelve presidents of
the United States were slave owners.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
They were slave owners.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Now you can build all kind of little anonymous how
people treat their slaves like I am in all that,
but it is brutality and is evil anyway you look
at it. And now we see doctor King King, and
through prayer he decided to bring about a revolution different
(11:16):
from any other revolutions except maybe when Mahatma Gandhi through pacifism,
liberated India from the British Empire through non violence.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Doctor King took that path.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
It was dangerous, it was deadly, and he began through
those years to do things, to say things, always in
a biblical Christian context. Don't miss that, don't miss that,
don't miss that, and then we know the development there.
(11:56):
He gives his famous I Have a Dream speech. In
nineteen sixty three, the Civil Rights Act passed by Congress.
And now we have what three hundred years, three hundred
and fifty years gone through this process where there was
the vision. There was racism, not systemic racism, that was
(12:20):
the heart. It was an ignorant, godless evil racism my
complete opinion. And then when this was act from nineteen
sixty four to nineteen sixty eight, that's when doctor Martin
Luther King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I submit to you that, along with.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Billy Graham and maybe internationally Winston Churchill, doctor Martin Luther
King was the most influential individual in the twentieth century
by far. He saved America, he preached the gospel.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
He was indeed a great man.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Martin Luther King speaking at Southern Methist University two years
before his assassination in nineteen sixty six, he said, a
doctrine of black supremacy is just as dangerous as a
doctrine of white supremacy. God is not interested in freedom
of black man, or brown man, or yellow man. God
(13:37):
is interested in the freedom of the whole human race, the.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Creation of society for every man. Will respect the dignity
and word of personality.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Doctor King a couple of years before his assassination at
s Inu, So, I submit to you that we're proud
to be America. I'm proud to be American.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Well, we can't.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Overlook this disastrous history. At the same time, I want
you to look at where we're going today. This outline,
this is the history of wokeness. The church is to
understand they are white supremists by nature. White Christians are
(14:24):
called to repent of their whiteness and respect their inherit.
White frigidity fragility that means a defensive reaction that we're
white and we're not prejudice. White Christians are told that
they're guilty in the racist sins of their forefathers. Christians
are urged to read complex realities and events through the
(14:44):
lens of racism. For example, poverty, crime rate, shootings, educational disparity.
The woke people will say, it's all racism. Christians are
told to see capitalism as oppressive, unfair, and unjust. Various
kinds of socialism is preferred system. Christians are directed to
(15:05):
add their voice to defund the police. Now, this is
the doctrine of wokism. I want to see the outline
of where we're going today, the total outline.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Number one.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Woke history is defined by the color of your face.
All important, the color of your faith, says all of
those in the woke agenda.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
What does that mean? That means, according to those.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
In the left part of our United States, that if
you were born black or some other color, that defines
who you are. And you are, listen to me, carefully
automatically a racist by being white.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It does not or what you've done, what you believe,
were you.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Ben You are a racist by virtue of your birth
and more than that.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And this is hard to believe.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
There's not a thing in the world you can ever
do to repent and to convince anybody anywhere because you're
a wife that you're not a racist.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
There's no redemption.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
You could be anti racist, but you'll never reach the
goal until you're still categorized like that. A leader of
Black Lives Matter said, a matter of public record, anyone
who waives an American flag, by definition, whomever you are,
you're racist. Everything is tragically defined by racism. This is
(16:45):
the woke history is defined by the color.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Of your face. How different that is.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
From doctor Martin Luther King's understanding of the racial challenges
we have in America. Then, and we progressed a great deal,
as doctor Carson has said, but we still have some
ways to go.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
But how far that we have come? You see, he
would tell.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Us, as we know, the color of your face doesn't
determine your character and who you are, and really you'll
discover doesn't say much about you and me. Did you
know that all of our physical assets, ears, nose, mouth,
body make up zero point zero one two of who
(17:36):
we are?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Is that any big deal about you or about me?
That color is all important of your skin? Go to Korea?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Fly over Korea, and I am told that you see
North Khalat Korea is totally dark at night.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Go at night, it almost told you are almost no
light and all in North Korea.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Go to South Korea and just lights everywhere in South
Korea it's progressive, they're fluent, there's freedom, and arguably the
most Christian nation on the earth.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Go to North Korea. What do you find the very opposite?
Speaker 3 (18:19):
You find the dictatorial leadership of a godless family.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You find right is determined by might.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
You define a military enemy when people are starving, education
is practically none existence, and they live almost as slaves
in North Korea, you say, well, the difference is the
color of their skin, the melanin Well, you go to Korean.
You see in North Korean, my goodness, the color of
(18:52):
their skin and their eyes look so much.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Like a South Korean. Have you noticed?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
But one country is in dark in every way. The
other country is in light in every way. The difference
is not the color of their skin. The difference is
the Lord Jesus Christ woke history would have every thing
(19:21):
defined by the color of your faith. Human history is
defined by grace. The name Martin Luther King Jr. Who
was Martin Luther. Martin Luther was a revolutionaire who said,
we're not saved by good works, and I'm better.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Than you, and I do more than you, and God's
going to rank us up there.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
He said from the Passage of Ephesians three and many
other places. Your salvation, my salvation is based on grace
by faith in Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
And that is the gospel that.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Doctor King preached throughout his life.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Life.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
He said in a sermon shortly before he died that
he hoped that people would know one.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Thing about him. He genuinely loved everybody.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
What a different thing, No salvation, You're born white, Doctor
King said, so eloquent, SMU.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
What the Bible says about all of these factors? Saved
by grace? And then the last point.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
God's history is defined by the.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Absence of race.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Have you ever heard anything like that in your life?
Let me tell you something. Follow me carefully. You want
to read more about this, read ken Ham's book. He's
devoted it beautifully, beautifully in a biblical framework, there's only
one race, ladies and gentlemen. In the beginning, God created
(21:01):
man and woman. By the way, there's only two genders.
This is a side note. God created man and woman
in his image. We are all heirs and part of
the family of God. And a little more melaning in
(21:25):
your face or a little less melan in somebody else's face,
We're all part of one human race, and that's the
only race that we have. Race is a construct of humanity.
It is sinful by nature. You won't find anything in
the Bible that has to do separating people by the
(21:49):
color of their skin. You can't find it, ethnicity, background, heritage, family,
It's not there. And when I said here with doctor
Missus Carson, I said, said doctor Carson, what if we
all had the same amount of melody in our skin?
He said, life would be boring, wouldn't it. Matthew five three,
(22:18):
blessed are the poor in spirit? For theirs is the
kingdom of heaven. Do you recall those words when old him?
Nothing in my hand I bring simply to thy cross.
I claim that is true.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
We have nothing to bring to God. We know there
are a lot of books about being filled.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
But one day I think I'll write a book on
how to be empty. When Christ wants to come and
fill us, we could be so full of self, We're
so narcissistic, so full of stuff and our own agenda,
that there's no room left for Him to fill us
and put life in all of that. We have to
(23:01):
first of all, become empty so that we can be filled.
And the emptying begins with brokenness. We acknowledge that we
are destitute and our own ability in what we've done,
or what we have or where we've been. We have
to become totally broken. Then we are ready for God
(23:21):
to come and fill us up with himself. It is
a supernatural event, Ladies and gentlemen. That is the first
step toward having a brand new life.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Empty empty.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
I pray every morning that God will empty me. Every
night I pray that He will empty me. I surrender
to him, and then I ask Him to fill me.
I'll tell you that is the genius of Christian living.
Speaker 1 (23:55):

life on the proven truth of God God's word, and

fifty five, a graduate of Morehouse College. He'd earned his
PhD there in Boston. And then we know he begins
his public ministry after prayer, knowing that the only way
for his people to be a part of the American dream.
(10:37):
The Constitution was written by wealthy men, intelligent men, supposedly
god fearing men. But eight the first twelve presidents of
the United States were slave owners.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
They were slave owners.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Now you can build all kind of little anonymous how
people treat their slaves like I am in all that,
but it is brutality and is evil anyway you look
at it. And now we see doctor King King, and
through prayer he decided to bring about a revolution different
(11:16):
from any other revolutions except maybe when Mahatma Gandhi through pacifism,
liberated India from the British Empire through non violence.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Doctor King took that path.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
It was dangerous, it was deadly, and he began through
those years to do things, to say things, always in
a biblical Christian context. Don't miss that, don't miss that,
don't miss that, and then we know the development there.
(11:56):
He gives his famous I Have a Dream speech. In
nineteen sixty three, the Civil Rights Act passed by Congress.
And now we have what three hundred years, three hundred
and fifty years gone through this process where there was
the vision. There was racism, not systemic racism, that was
(12:20):
the heart. It was an ignorant, godless evil racism my
complete opinion. And then when this was act from nineteen
sixty four to nineteen sixty eight, that's when doctor Martin
Luther King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I submit to you that, along with.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Billy Graham and maybe internationally Winston Churchill, doctor Martin Luther
King was the most influential individual in the twentieth century
by far. He saved America, he preached the gospel.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
He was indeed a great man.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Martin Luther King speaking at Southern Methist University two years
before his assassination in nineteen sixty six, he said, a
doctrine of black supremacy is just as dangerous as a
doctrine of white supremacy. God is not interested in freedom
of black man, or brown man, or yellow man. God
(13:37):
is interested in the freedom of the whole human race, the.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Creation of society for every man. Will respect the dignity
and word of personality.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Doctor King a couple of years before his assassination at
s Inu, So, I submit to you that we're proud
to be America. I'm proud to be American.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Well, we can't.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Overlook this disastrous history. At the same time, I want
you to look at where we're going today. This outline,
this is the history of wokeness. The church is to
understand they are white supremists by nature. White Christians are
(14:24):
called to repent of their whiteness and respect their inherit.
White frigidity fragility that means a defensive reaction that we're
white and we're not prejudice. White Christians are told that
they're guilty in the racist sins of their forefathers. Christians
are urged to read complex realities and events through the
(14:44):
lens of racism. For example, poverty, crime rate, shootings, educational disparity.
The woke people will say, it's all racism. Christians are
told to see capitalism as oppressive, unfair, and unjust. Various
kinds of socialism is preferred system. Christians are directed to
(15:05):
add their voice to defund the police. Now, this is
the doctrine of wokism. I want to see the outline
of where we're going today, the total outline.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Number one.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Woke history is defined by the color of your face.
All important, the color of your faith, says all of
those in the woke agenda.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
What does that mean? That means, according to those.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
In the left part of our United States, that if
you were born black or some other color, that defines
who you are. And you are, listen to me, carefully
automatically a racist by being white.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It does not or what you've done, what you believe,
were you.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Ben You are a racist by virtue of your birth
and more than that.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And this is hard to believe.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
There's not a thing in the world you can ever
do to repent and to convince anybody anywhere because you're
a wife that you're not a racist.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
There's no redemption.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
You could be anti racist, but you'll never reach the
goal until you're still categorized like that. A leader of
Black Lives Matter said, a matter of public record, anyone
who waives an American flag, by definition, whomever you are,
you're racist. Everything is tragically defined by racism. This is
(16:45):
the woke history is defined by the color.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Of your face. How different that is.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
From doctor Martin Luther King's understanding of the racial challenges
we have in America. Then, and we progressed a great deal,
as doctor Carson has said, but we still have some
ways to go.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
But how far that we have come? You see, he
would tell.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Us, as we know, the color of your face doesn't
determine your character and who you are, and really you'll
discover doesn't say much about you and me. Did you
know that all of our physical assets, ears, nose, mouth,
body make up zero point zero one two of who
(17:36):
we are?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Is that any big deal about you or about me?
That color is all important of your skin? Go to Korea?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Fly over Korea, and I am told that you see
North Khalat Korea is totally dark at night.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Go at night, it almost told you are almost no
light and all in North Korea.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Go to South Korea and just lights everywhere in South
Korea it's progressive, they're fluent, there's freedom, and arguably the
most Christian nation on the earth.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Go to North Korea. What do you find the very opposite?
Speaker 3 (18:19):
You find the dictatorial leadership of a godless family.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You find right is determined by might.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
You define a military enemy when people are starving, education
is practically none existence, and they live almost as slaves
in North Korea, you say, well, the difference is the
color of their skin, the melanin Well, you go to Korean.
You see in North Korean, my goodness, the color of
(18:52):
their skin and their eyes look so much.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Like a South Korean. Have you noticed?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
But one country is in dark in every way. The
other country is in light in every way. The difference
is not the color of their skin. The difference is
the Lord Jesus Christ woke history would have every thing
(19:21):
defined by the color of your faith. Human history is
defined by grace. The name Martin Luther King Jr. Who
was Martin Luther. Martin Luther was a revolutionaire who said,
we're not saved by good works, and I'm better.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Than you, and I do more than you, and God's
going to rank us up there.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
He said from the Passage of Ephesians three and many
other places. Your salvation, my salvation is based on grace
by faith in Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
And that is the gospel that.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Doctor King preached throughout his life.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Life.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
He said in a sermon shortly before he died that
he hoped that people would know one.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Thing about him. He genuinely loved everybody.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
What a different thing, No salvation, You're born white, Doctor
King said, so eloquent, SMU.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
What the Bible says about all of these factors? Saved
by grace? And then the last point.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
God's history is defined by the.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Absence of race.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Have you ever heard anything like that in your life?
Let me tell you something. Follow me carefully. You want
to read more about this, read ken Ham's book. He's
devoted it beautifully, beautifully in a biblical framework, there's only
one race, ladies and gentlemen. In the beginning, God created
(21:01):
man and woman. By the way, there's only two genders.
This is a side note. God created man and woman
in his image. We are all heirs and part of
the family of God. And a little more melaning in
(21:25):
your face or a little less melan in somebody else's face,
We're all part of one human race, and that's the
only race that we have. Race is a construct of humanity.
It is sinful by nature. You won't find anything in
the Bible that has to do separating people by the
(21:49):
color of their skin. You can't find it, ethnicity, background, heritage, family,
It's not there. And when I said here with doctor
Missus Carson, I said, said doctor Carson, what if we
all had the same amount of melody in our skin?
He said, life would be boring, wouldn't it. Matthew five three,
(22:18):
blessed are the poor in spirit? For theirs is the
kingdom of heaven. Do you recall those words when old him?
Nothing in my hand I bring simply to thy cross.
I claim that is true.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
We have nothing to bring to God. We know there
are a lot of books about being filled.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
But one day I think I'll write a book on
how to be empty. When Christ wants to come and
fill us, we could be so full of self, We're
so narcissistic, so full of stuff and our own agenda,
that there's no room left for Him to fill us
and put life in all of that. We have to
(23:01):
first of all, become empty so that we can be filled.
And the emptying begins with brokenness. We acknowledge that we
are destitute and our own ability in what we've done,
or what we have or where we've been. We have
to become totally broken. Then we are ready for God
(23:21):
to come and fill us up with himself. It is
a supernatural event, Ladies and gentlemen. That is the first
step toward having a brand new life.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Empty empty.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
I pray every morning that God will empty me. Every
night I pray that He will empty me. I surrender
to him, and then I ask Him to fill me.
I'll tell you that is the genius of Christian living.
