I read a great blog post by Russell D. Moore that kind of launched from Glenn Beck and the rally he hosted Saturday in D.C. You can read it here.
I don’t want to talk about Russell Moore, ’cause I have no idea who he is. He appears to be evangelical and an author. That’s all I know.
Neither do I want to talk about Glenn Beck. I know he’s stirred up some emotion lately from both sides, but I don’t really know Glenn Beck either. And neither do you, really.
But Moore’s blog discusses a deeper concern that Beck is only the face of right now. And the concern, the article, is a good – or at the very least an interesting – one. An exerpt:
This is, of course, not new. Our Lord Jesus faced this test when Satan took him to a high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the earth, and their glory. Satan did not mind surrendering his authority to Jesus. He didn’t mind a universe without pornography or Islam or abortion or nuclear weaponry. Satan did not mind Judeo-Christian values. He wasn’t worried about “revival” or “getting back to God.” What he opposes was the gospel of Christ crucified and resurrected for the sins of the world.
Go.
