Christians Need to Get Political, Say Eric Metaxas, Lauren Boebert, Sean Feucht at Hold the Line in Colorado Springs

“The idea that we can somehow be apolitical is preposterous,” said Metaxas, noting how ridiculous it would be for someone to refuse to take a stand against slavery in an effort to appeal to people on all political sides. It is not possible to reach everyone in this scenario, he said, jokingly calling anyone who would say that an “idiot.”

Metaxas said Christianity Today (CT) was “lefty politics masquerading as the gospel” and criticized Dr. Russell Moore, who recently joined CT, for an article Moore wrote around Easter critiquing people for taking political sides in the interest of societal conquest. 

Metaxas might have been referring to an article titled, “Tribalism’s Awful Antidote,” published on April 18. He accused Moore of “game-playing,” saying, “There’s something wicked about it when you’re playing with words and trying to confuse people that way. Although I think he’s probably genuinely confused—he thinks what he’s saying is true.” The fact this article was published at Easter, said Metaxas, is “nasty,” “ugly,” and “unbelievably ironic.”

Moore and those like him are demonizing their opponents just much as they are accusing others of doing, said Metaxas. By simply focusing on preaching the gospel instead of speaking out on issues, they are perpetuating the cultural evils we are seeing. For example, kids who are transitioning are suffering because of the views of pro-LGBTQ “tranny” people, he said. And while we are supposed to love those we disagree with, Metaxas said love is what motivates him to speak out.
