Sarcastic Saturday: Boldly Standing for the Truth Ushers in God’s Kingdom
Another installment of my fictional series Sarcastic Saturday:
Earth–In a surprising development for Christians devoted to social justice and loving one another, the Kingdom of God appeared because enough Christians have taken a bold stand for the truth. Michael the Archangel appeared in the heavens and proclaimed the victory of truth over error and relativism.
People who love truth everywhere are rejoicing that they were right. “We knew that if we exposed enough error and took a bold enough stand for truth, sound doctrine, and watered down Christianity emphasizing service that God’s Kingdom would show up,” said one self-proclaimed truth activist. “I’m not surprised that we were right,” he added.
“Here I thought my worship was meaningless because of the injustices Christians have been ignoring,” shared one pastor who works among the homeless. “As it turns out, the only thing God has cared about all along is if we get our doctrines correct.”
Christian social justice ministries have since shuttered their operations, opting to commit to further study in order to sort out their doctrines in light of the Messiah’s second coming.
“What a shocker,” shared one member of Christians for Social Action. “The next thing they’ll say is that sarcasm can be redemptive.”
Sounds like these Christians will be standing in heaven in front of the throne saying, “I knew I was right. Look at this, my Last Days time line was right on!”
As in, we’ll be so excited to learn we were right that we’ll forget we’re in the presence of God? Yeah, I feel like truth/knowledge can become an idol at that point!
