Finding the Next Billy Graham In The Gutter
Christians should never stop doing evangelism or forget about the transformative power of the Holy Spirit as they engage the culture; those who oppose the Church today could be its leaders tomorrow, Russell Moore wrote in his new book, Onward: Engaging the Culture Without Losing the Gospel.
In part one of his July 1 phone interview with The Christian Post, Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, pointed out that the Church can thrive, as it always has, in a culture that identifies it as "not normal."
In this part two of the interview, Moore explains why, whenever he feels himself growing discouraged about the future, he reminds himself, "the next Billy Graham might be drunk right now."
Remembering that opponents are themselves like Christians — sinners for whom Christ died — changes the way you see them, he said. Additionally, those opponents may not only be brothers and sisters in Christ tomorrow, they may become church leaders.
