Actually unsure how to feel about this talk. On the one hand, he recognises that life is unfair for people and covid has been really bad for the marginalised. On the other hand, just saying Jesus will help you out is not quite a solution.

I might actually give him a plus 5 for mentioning the just mercy guy. What a great film.

Well, you know, he'll fix unfairness later.

Anything the church could do something about is something Jesus will fix later. Just gotta have that convenient eternal perspective. Viva la afterlife!

It's what a person in power says to prevent the unprivileged from staging a revolt. Jesus will give you a reward and punish the people in power in the next life. Jesus fixes all your problems so don't rock the boat, be obedient, and don't press for change.

I am also not sure about this talk. It is good to say that Christ will fix all unfairness. If you can see this as part of the atonement, it is good. But just saying it isn’t enough. We humans need to be actively involved in undoing the damage of unfairness and not leave it to Jesus. Make sure this isn’t just “thoughts and prayers” and not doing a thing yourself to fix things.

+ or - 10

Yes. This kind of preaching was used to keep the slaves patient with slavery.

+10 for not throwing stones
+20 for catching stones

-30 for insinuating unfairness is fixed by church myopic Jesus glasses and glossing over the story where the man needed financial help and appealed to his church congregation. We get that this wasn't out church, but... We understand he's gonna have a better chance at another church.

I am absolutely shocked that Brown noser Anderson is the one who neglected to put beloved in front of Nelson's name.
