'Christians Need to Stand Up Against Injustice': 

Beth Moore Calls for Reform, Repentance in Evangelical Church

CBN News Emily Jones

Evangelist Beth Moore is calling on the church to repent and renounce what she calls
"pampered gospel."

The author and minister participated in a panel discussion on "Evangelicals and the Future of 

Racial Unity" at the MLK50 Conference on the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s 

assassination.

Moore said Christians need to stand up against injustice, even if it costs them their popularity 

or forces them out of their comfort zone.

"What I think has happened here is that in our discipleship, we are not teaching what is normative 

in the believing life," she said. "When we carry our cross and we follow Jesus, we are walking 

into a storm. We were told that in Luke 10, Matthew 10 we will be 'sheep among wolves,' not 

wolves among sheep."

Moore explained that "sheep among wolves" means Christians will be "persecuted," "criticized," 

"imprisoned" and even killed for speaking the truth --.something she believes few American Christians 

truly experience or understand.

"We have been very proud of the fact that we have not subscribed to a prosperity gospel. But what 

we have subscribed to is a pampered gospel where we are so afraid of suffering and we are so afraid 

someone is going to criticize us and hurt our feelings," Moore said. "This is the Gospel work of 

Jesus Christ and we are going with Him. Whatever it takes, no matter how unpopular it is. He was 

hated. We have to have thicker skin than that."

Before the conference, she took to Twitter to encourage the church to repent of its failures.

Replying to @BethMooreLPM

I think some of us haven’t had enough practice at colossally blowing it. Listen, I’m not an expert 

on many things but I am an expert on colossally blowing it. It’s not hard to repent. You just get 

down on your face and go, God, I’ve colossally blown it. I’m so sorry. Please help.

Evangelicalism is in humiliating need of reform but the thing is, it’s possible. In OUR lifetimes. 

All that stands between us & an astonishing work of the Holy Spirit is repentance. Quit being 

scared of rocking a boat that has run aground on an island of compromise.Walk on water.

"Why on God's green earth are we expending untold energy still defending ourselves when we 

could just repent of placing trust in man to save & champion us, defend our principles & meanwhile 

keep us privileged & empowered instead of trusting God to help us?How hard is it to repent?" she said.

"I think some of us haven't had enough practice at colossally blowing it. Listen, I'm not an expert 

on many things but I am an expert on colossally blowing it. It's not hard to repent," she continued. 

"You just get down on your face and go, God, I've colossally blown it. I'm so sorry. Please help."

"Evangelicalism is in humiliating need of reform but the thing is, it's possible. In OUR lifetimes.

she concluded.

Many Twitter users agreed with her, but one warned her against putting too much blame on the church.

" As you travel this journey, please do not take on the anger of our culture against the church or 

our nation. There are many wrongs. Wisdom and truth needed," Pam Anderson tweeted.

Moore responded by saying, "Not at all resistant to that word of caution."

Putting Down Roots ✡ "Plant Them In Your Own Mountain" - Israel365

You will bring them and plant them in Your own mountain, The place You made to dwell in, Hashem, The sanctuary, Hashem, which Your hands established Exodus 15:17 (The Israel Bible™) תְּבִאֵמוֹ וְתִטָּעֵמוֹ בְּהַר נַחֲלָתְךָ מָכוֹן לְשִׁבְתְּךָ פָּעַלְתָּ יְהוָה מִקְּדָשׁ אֲדֹנָי כּוֹנְנוּ יָדֶיךָ Hear the verse in Hebrew te-VEE-ay-mo ve-tee-ta-AY-mo be-HAR nakh-LA-te-kha ma-KHON le-SHEEV-te-KHA pa-a-lat- a-do-NAI meek-DASH a-do-NAI ko-ne-nu ya-DAY-kha   Putting Down Roots “And plant them in Your own mountain” is understood as a reference either to Har Habayit(the Temple Mount) or to the entire Land of Israel.  When Hashem (God) says that the Jewish people will be planted in the Land of Israel, He means that they will establish roots there and flourish. Jewish tradition believes that this verse is a reference to the time of Mashiach (Messiah), when the Children of Israel will be brought back to the Land of Israel, never to be uprooted again. For two thousand years, Jews have been asking for the fulfillment of this verse each week as part of the Shabbat prayers, “bring us with happiness to our land and plant us in our borders.” This verse has become a reality as Jews from around the world are returning to their ancestral homeland and the Land of Israel is flourishing both with nature (olive trees in northern Israel above) and with the Children of Israel.

Israel’s True Strength and Gift to the World is Unity - Breaking Israel News

Israel’s True Strength and Gift to the World is Unity By Dr. Michael Laitman Our mission is to unite and by doing so, allow the spreading of that heightened unified consciousness to spread to humanity as a whole. If we work on our connection, then we can attract the positive, unifying force dwelling in nature to enter our connections, thereby allowing this force to spread, setting up a new basis for a society of giving, connection and love. Are There Arabs Who Like Israel? The Answer is a Resounding Yes By Dr. Mordechai Kedar What is really important, though, is for us, the Israelis, to remember that not every Arabic speaker is an Israel-hater by definition. There are many people to be found in the Arab and Islamic world who accept Israel’s existence from the start and not just after the fact and believe in the right of Jews to live securely and tranquility in the land of their forefathers. They also believe in Israel’s right to defend itself and its citizens’ lives, welfare, and health.   Read » Hamas’ Partners in its War Against Israel By Caroline Glick Hamas intends to provoke Israel to shoot at the Palestinian civilians it is sending to the border. It is setting its people up to die because it expects their deaths to be captured live by the cameras of the Western media, which will be on hand to watch the spectacle. In other words, Hamas’s strategy of harming Israel by forcing its soldiers to kill Palestinians is predicated on its certainty that the Western media will act as its partner and ensure the success of its lethal propaganda stunt.   Read » The Blame Lies with Hamas, Not Israel By Ben-Dror Yemini Hamas knows how to invest—but only in the death industry. More tunnels. More rockets. Had Hamas invested everything it spent on tunnels in building neighborhoods, schools and hospitals instead, the situation in the strip would’ve been much better.   Read » The Palestinian Leadership’s Promotion of Death-Seeking Culture By Earl Cox Is it of no concern to Europe and other nations who claim they want to stop the suffering of the Palestinians that their leaders “desire death” but not the life for their own people? Is it not astounding that those leaders who extol and encourage death, and urge their people to embrace death, openly acknowledge that Israel values and celebrates life—not only for its own people but for the world? These Palestinian leaders do not fight in the trenches alongside the women, children and elderly they muster as human shields.   Read » Sponsored Content Never Again. In Syria? By Shoshana Bryen Responding to its own security requirements, but also cognizant of the weight of history, the Israeli government has said Israel will not permit Iranian/Shiite entrenchment. The United States should join Israel in that determination – not because we need to determine whether Bashar Assad stays or goes, but to fulfill the promise embedded in “Never Again.”   Read » The Sultan’s Pleasure: Turkey Expands its Operations in Syria and Iraq By Jonathan Spyer IN ALL three areas – the Afrin operation, the (alleged) links to Harakat al-Qiyam and the air activity and threatened incursion into Sinjar and northern Iraq – the contours and direction of Turkish activity are clear. Ankara has set as a strategic goal to destroy the Kurdish gains that resulted from the fragmentation of Syria and Iraq over the last half-decade. Turkey also wishes to present itself as the natural leader and patron of Sunni Arab communities in both countries.   Read »
