Russell Moore’s antipathy for the President of the United States is not unknown, and is in fact a matter of public concern among conservative Christians. The former Democratic staffer, once serving a congressman who voted in solidarity with Nancy Pelosi 82% of the time, has saved nearly all of his criticism for conservatives who don’t … Read more
Some glaring fault lines have appeared in the conversation about Russell Moore, many of which were exposed by the recent essay in The Federalist written by one of Moore’s fans, Nathan Leamer of the R Street Institute. Since being crowned head of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) in 2013, Dr. Moore has been … Read more
Sadly, the greatest defenders of Russell Moore today tend to be those who hold the mantle, “Reformed.” For many, a mere association with Albert Mohler is enough to buy all sorts of accusational immunity. For others, who haven’t noticed The Gospel Coalition turning into The Social Gospel Coalition over the last couple years, Russell’s association … Read more
I want to start by stating how tragic the recent shooting in Dallas was, as well as others who have lost their lives during encounters with police officers. It is not my intent to try or convict any person on either side of the aisle without due process, and I believe it to be highly … Read more
In a scathing rebuke of the evident failure of American justice in what, to most, seemed a clear cut case of more than mere malfeasance, Southern Baptist ethicist Russell Moore editorialized on the stunning news yesterday, July 5, that Hillary Clinton will face no recommendation for an indictment from the FBI. Wait. Hold on. No. No, … Read more
What some viewed as forced political homage at the altar of a foreign god (Russell Moore would probably fall here – but more on that to follow), others saw as an unparalleled opportunity, not only to brush up with the fame and bravado that is Donald Trump, but also a chance to publicly, wholeheartedly, … Read more
The Islamic Society of Basking Ridge, New Jersey, has faced considerable red tape from the city’s zoning board since 2011. Having to haggle over typical zoning issues like parking lot size and possible interference with a fire department across the street, the Islamic Society’s Mosque-building efforts have faced the typical bureaucratic complications not altogether uncommon … Read more
Our petition to get Russell Moore to speak on the ethics of a Southern Baptist Church supporting their deacon helping build an abortion clinic has apparently fallen on deaf ears.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. — Romans 12:2 American Christians, particularly those who claim to be “Christian” on the basis of a compromised “it’s all about … Read more
As we’ve reported ad nauseam, the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) is being utilized as a Political Action Committee (PAC) for Roman Catholic presidential contender, Marco Rubio. ERLC president and former Democratic staffer, Russell Moore, shares a number of ideological similarities with Rubio, not the least of which is their mutual … Read more
In a post entitled, National Review Enlists Open Border Zealots to Trash Trump, Julia Hann correctly classified Russell Moore’s immigration views for the publication named after the late Andrew Breitbart. National Review’s effort to take down GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has been billed as a symposium of “conservatives against Trump.” However, that billing may be undermined by the discovery … Read more
Say it were 1937 in Germany and you had the opportunity to vote in an election that pitted a guy who wants to shove all the Jews in Europe into ovens against a guy who runs on a platform that, if the SS wants to shove Jews into ovens, they’ll at least have to do … Read more
Talk about mixing politics and religion. The SBC’s chief ethicist and director of a more than four million dollar budget ERLC, Russell Moore, has referred to a proposed border fence as a “golden calf.” For those unfamiliar, this is a reference to an idol crafted by Aaron at the behest of the Israelites, which solicited God’s … Read more
According to medical sources, a shift in posture is often caused by a necessary adjustment to relieve the stress put upon the backbone. If that’s the case, Russell Moore and the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC has certainly shifted in posture). Simply put, the ERLC has been caving under the stress of cultural pressure, and … Read more
In a not surprising tweet yesterday on Twitter, Dr. Russell Moore of the Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission makes an outlandish claim, insinuating that if you are against illegal immigration, then ultimately, you will sell out to the pro-choice abortion camp. Abortion lobby & nativism both see people as problems, not as persons. A politician … Read more
