A comment made by @sinbach :
Karen Kruse good question! Perhaps our talking points are moved more by secular media than we Christians want to admit? If the news talks about riots in DC, does the church not follow and also talk about riots in DC? If the news talks about BLM, does the church not also begin discussing BLM? The news doesn't talk about Nigeria, so the church doesn't talk about Nigeria. That is not easy to admit, because it leads to deeper concerns - like - What if the modern church is influenced by the secular world than just mere talking points? Perhaps if we see how greatly our talking points are influenced, we would also have to admit other spheres of influence like maybe our world view, our theology, our missiology, our idea of Love, hell, justice - have all been skewed because of the influence that the world has on our lives.
