What Letterman Can Teach Us about the Gospel

Russell Moore, Dean of the School of Theology at The Southern Baptist Seminary, has a thought-provoking post about late-night entertainer, David Letterman. Last week Letterman admitted to having multiple inordinate relationships with women staffers from the Late Show. He came forward because, allegedly, a blackmailer threatened to release the information publicly and thereby damage his personal and professional lives.

So what can we learn about the gospel from Letterman's situation? Here's a snippet from Moore:

Let’s remember the gospel, and learn from Dave Letterman how scary blackmail can be. As the accusations come at us, let’s acknowledge the truth of the satanic claims. Let’s find ourselves in Jesus. And let’s point to a bloody cross and an empty tomb where those accusations were verified and crucified.
