Russell Moore Quote: “In the temple, there might have been financial abuses, but the central issue seems to be the turning of what was meant to be sacred space into something “useful” – commerce. And, along with that, the space taken up was that of the most marginal and vulnerable people – the “outsiders” in the Court of the Gentiles in which those coming to pray were forced to do so in the middle of marketplace buzz.”

Russell Moore Quote: “That promise is not to build “the evangelical movement,” whatever that is. It’s not a promise that institutions will continue to exist as they are, any more than “For God so loved the world” means that a person can enter the kingdom without taking up the cross. Any church can lose its lampstand, Jesus told us, and flicker out. We are more vulnerable than we know.”

Russell Moore Quote: “Christian nationalisms and civil religions are a kind of Great Commission in reverse, in which the nations seek to make disciples of themselves, using the authority of Jesus to baptize their national identity in the name of the blood and of the soil and of the political order.

Russell Moore Quote: “Some evangelical Christians know Scripture in order to debate predestination or women’s ordination – in the same way the pragmatic Christians they despise know how to use Scripture to address melancholy on the job or endurance through toilet training a child – and yet don’t know the difference between Josiah and Jehoiakim. It seems to them to be beside the point.”

Russell Moore Quote: “This is because we live in a time in which “truth” is seen as a means to tribal belonging, rather than as a reality that exists outside of us.

Russell Moore Quote: “After the disruptions of the past few years, though, the primary critique of evangelical Christianity – from the outside world as well as from those of us who’ve found ourselves accidental exiles within the church – is not that evangelical Christianity believes and practices all these things, but that we don’t.”
