Evangelical roundup for May 3, 2021

John Fea   |  May 3, 2021

What is happening in Evangelicalland?

Is Trevor Lawrence the next big evangelical Christian sports star? (On a side note, Tim Tebow is trying out for Lawrence’s new team).

Asian-American evangelicals speak-up.

Today’s blast from the past comes courtesy of Brantley Gasaway:

The sad story of an evangelical reality television star:

Another bastion of evangelical anti-vaxxerism

A Billy Graham documentary is coming to PBS later this month:

An evangelical substitute teacher who also happens to be a Kansas state representative kneed a boy in the crotch and asked him if it hurt. He was arrested.

All those prophets who said Trump would win re-election in November 2020 have prompted other prophets to create some “prophetic standards.” The list of “other prophets” includes Wayne Grudem, Jim Garlow, Mark Driscoll, and Steven Strang.

Charlie Kirk was not happy with South Carolina Senator’s Tim Scott’s response to Biden’s speech before Congress last week:

I really respect Tim Scott and think he’s a great guy & Senator.

But the “common ground” message is so tone deaf—especially in light of YouTube's decision to delete President Trump's interview with Dan Bongino

These times call for massive action, not suing for peace

Jesus was canceled. So was Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

Standing up to those who would cancel our voices might bring us momentary hardship, but the cost of being silent is too great to ignore. We must speak boldly and not apologize for our patriotic beliefs.@laurenboebert pic.twitter.com/CuVPK8LCd7

  1. Where were these tweets about “standing up to wicked governments” during the last administration?
  2. No, Jack, in this case I think the greatest illness WAS the virus:

As shepherds and caretakers of Christ's flock, pastors should be the most vocal within the church about standing up to wicked governments. They must be the most courageous of all of us if we are to win the soul of our nation back. pic.twitter.com/G1Im1IknmH

I hope this conversation will find its way into the public domain:

Early takeaway from this EPA panel on whether evangelicals should keep using the term "evangelical" with @KSPrior, Walter Kim, and @MichaelRWear is that Michael doesn't have enough books. pic.twitter.com/qeADMHCnPU

Eric Metaxas talks about Mike “MyPillow Guy” Lindell’s appearance on The Jimmy Kimmel Show. He also tells his audience that Biden is not the legitimate president and looks like someone is drugging him. He references this tweet. I wonder if the editors of The New Republic caught this segment.
