On Friday, the Living Proof Ministries founder dropped a surprise on her social media page and let her followers know she is stepping away from Twitter “for a bit,” as she put it. She explained that she is focusing on writing again. The main reason she is stepping away is because she can’t trust herself at the moment.
Boldly standing by everything she has said recently on her Twitter account, she made sure her opposers knew they hadn’t won. She said “The fact is, I really do want to walk with Jesus in the Spirit and not burn stuff down. Mind you, I don’t take back a word I’ve said. (See? This is where I go awry. The longer I talk.) I just think it’s enough for now.”
Referring to the Twitter hiatus, she wanted to make sure everyone knew she was ok. “Please know all’s well & I’ll be back in these tweety bird woods soon,” she reassured her followers. “I was gonna tell you to behave but sometimes behaving’s overrated.”
You have to know when to hold them and when to fold them (Kenny Rogers) when it comes to a faith leader’s presence on social media. Maybe more Christian leaders should follow Moore’s example–knowing when to not say something on social media and just walk away.
