 The difference between Social Justice Christianity and classic Creedal Christianity is this:

Social Justice Christianity begins with "justice," as God's primary and core attribute; and then leverage God (on this basis) to their Social Justice cause...
Human concepts of justice, legitimized through limited human extrapolations of what a "Just" God is...
For them, "The Gospel" IS "Justice;" and necessarily means the installation of their version of that justice for all of humanity.
Classic Creedal Christianity begins with God and His nature as fully revealed in Christ; from which we must derive, submit and comport our nature to His...
The whole of Christ's attributes and nature, are what inform us to be transformed into His likeness [eikon]...
The Gospel in classic creedal Christianity means that: 1. Christ has come to save (sṓzō) us from the dangers of our brokenness, depravity and judgment, brought on by "the fall;" 2. To restore (katartizó) the whole of humanity (making our nature Christlike) and all of creation, as well.
Scripture:
21 Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.
Acts 3:21
10 and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image [Eikon] of the One who created him-
Col 3:10
29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image [Eikon] of His Son...
Romans 8:29

If Christians continue to back away... and continue to back away... from Biblical Truths, in order not to offend, at some point who's going to want to hear what we have to say anyway?

The thing that makes Christianity truly DISTINCTIVE from all other Faiths in the world, is not just our capacity for Love, but our ability to authentically IMITATE the FULLNESS of Jesus Christ in our lives.

The practice (DOING) of Love in the world is not a particularly unique thing in any faith...

The genuine and whole expression, of the incarnational presence (BEING), of Christ in us... IS.

Right "Doing" doesn't always mean right "Being."

But, right "Being" ALWAYS means right "Doing."

Right Being vs. Right Doing

God's Primary Means of Judgment

Be warned:
God's primary means of discipline for humanity,
Is to allow us to have exactly what we say that we want;
Even though, according to His Law, that is not what we need.
This is what it means to be "consequentially educated." When He can no longer instruct us, then He will permit our sin to do it instead... It is however, a much less gracious, but far more harsh master...
Scripture:
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
Romantic 1:28

Secular Progressivism - A Worldview

1
. The truth is,
Devout Secularists believe
Their program for the improvement of Humanity
Is far superior to the ideology of any Religion,
Including that of the Christian God (Even though historically, the existence of Social Progressivism would be impossible, without the Christian Faith).

2. Secular Progressivism (on the whole) is clearly the most aggressive toxic and dominant worldview/ideology within the American Culture today. 

3. Many self-identifying Christians in our Culture today, are in actuality, more akin (at their core) to being Secular Progressvists, with a Christian mantle; rather than being Christian in their core, accompanied with Christ-like parallels to Secular Progressivism (as they like to think).
Remember, the inexorable nature of a worldviews is: "There can be only one."
