This jerk of a \n evangelical just got booted for being drunk and disorderly at a Nashville bar.
Here are some of this idiot’s thoughts:
“The center of gravity for both orthodoxy and evangelism is not among Anglo suburban evangelicals but among African Anglicans and Asian Calvinists and Latin American Pentecostals. The vital core of American evangelicalism today can be found in churches that are multiethnic and increasingly dominated by immigrant communities.
The next Billy Graham probably will speak only Spanish or Arabic or Persian or Mandarin. American evangelicals often use the language of “revival” — a word that is sometimes co-opted by politicians to mean a resurgence of a politically useful but watered-down civil religion. A congregation that ignores the global church can deprive itself of revival by overlooking those places where the Spirit is working.”
Liar.
You think I’m defending Russell Moore? LOL
I have a long history of being a critic of Russell Moore. I’m sure I’ve criticized him here, long before he said a word about Trump. I have a long list of criticisms of the ERLC. I think it should be shuttered. I reject sacralism in all forms, whether Roman Catholic or Southern Baptist (I’m a lifelong Southern Baptist with a degree from an SBC university). I think Dr. Moore should stick to teaching and preaching and drop the rest. He’s a gifted preacher.
My comment was in regard to your list of priorities. I bet I agree with your position on every one of those issues. And yes, they are pressing. But for me and many others, the overriding problem in this nation is spiritual, not material. Almost all of our problems flow from an underlying spiritual problem. Unfortunately we can’t solve spiritual problems through politics. We can change laws, but not hearts. Only the Lord can change a heart. For instance, we can try to protect marriage but we will never be successful if the people have totally lost their traditional Judeo-Christian ethic. Trump might do many things I agree with, but he can’t save this nation. No politician can. I think Christians have put far too much trust in politicians for far too long.
In the end, I vote according to my Christian conscience, not out of fear. He is sovereign. The results are in His hands anyway.
“Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.”
