Jesus Christ’s “Liberal Talking Points” Are “Weak”–Evangelical Christians
If you don’t follow Christ, are you a Christian?
Christianity in Crisis
Russell Moore, editor in chief of Christianity Today, believes that Christianity is in crisis. I would have to agree with him.
Tori Otten, associate writer for The New Republic, reports:
Moore told NPR in an interview released Tuesday that multiple pastors had told him they would quote the Sermon on the Mount, specifically the part that says to “turn the other cheek,” when preaching. Someone would come up after the service and ask, “Where did you get those liberal talking points?”
“What was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ,’ the response would not be, ‘I apologize.’ The response would be, ‘Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak,’” Moore said. “When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.”
