Russell Moore looks at Glenn Beck

Russell Moore looks at the Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally:

A Mormon television star stands in front of the Lincoln Memorial and calls American Christians to revival. He assembles some evangelical celebrities to give testimonies, and then preaches a God and country revivalism that leaves the evangelicals cheering that they’ve heard the gospel, right there in the nation’s capital.

The news media pronounces him the new leader of America’s Christian conservative movement, and a flock of America’s Christian conservatives have no problem with that.

Russell Moore’s God, the Gospel, and Glenn Beck is a must read.

If you have 3 hours, you can watch the rally via C-SPAN‘s archives.
