The reports of the conditions for migrant children at the border should shock all of our consciences. Those created in the image of God should be treated with dignity and compassion, especially those seeking refuge from violence back home. We can do better than this. https://t.co/Cv3AmJgypn— Russell Moore (@drmoore) June 25, 2019
Words that need to be heard and read. And literally the very first response to that tweet was:
Who are you @drmoore ? Have you ever made a payroll? Have you ever built an organization of any type from scratch? What gives you authority to speak on any issue? I’m being serious. You’re nothing but an employee- a bureaucrat.— Jerry Falwell (@JerryFalwellJr) June 25, 2019
Tell me again why Jerry Falwell, Jr. is designated a "religious leader"? Like Donald Trump, all he did was be born into the lucky sperm club and inherit everything he has from his father. He built nothing from scratch, and has no authority to speak on this subject at all, v. Dr. Moore who speaks as a Christian and the head of a Christian group of churches. Falwell is a "sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal." Moore doesn't always speak for me, but in this case he speaks with love, and I stand with his words.
The old wisdom I heard in my ministry was that when the Spirit starts moving, the Devil gets busy. This is a case in point.
