Evangelical roundup for June 21, 2021

John Fea   |  June 21, 2021

Library of Congress

What is going on in Evangelicalland?

Some pics from last week’s SBC meeting in Nashville.

Jack Graham is glad to be a Southern Baptist:

Remember this about the S Baptist Conv We are a local church movement. After a well publicized annual meeting we are returning to our church fields ready to fulfill the Great Commission and make an eternal difference in people’s lives. I’m glad to be a Southern Baptist

— Jack Graham (@jackngraham) June 19, 2021

Christianity Today reporter Kate Shellnut on what she saw at the SBC Annual Meeting.

Last weekend’s Faith and Freedom Coalition conference was more diverse then you think.

What folks were saying in the hallways at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference.

Jack Hibbs is taking his act to Newsmax:

One of the Duck Dynasty guys.

Good question from Shane:

The fact that some Catholics want to ban Biden from Communion because of abortion but not ban Gov. Greg Abbott as he executes people in Texas confuses me.

— Shane Claiborne (@ShaneClaiborne) June 18, 2021

Blast from the Past:

Greg Thornbury on the divided Southern Baptist Convention.

Tish Harrison Warren is still hopeful about evangelical Christianity.

Worth considering:

The early church was

• multiracial and unified
• community of forgiveness & reconciliation
• famous for hospitality to poor & suffering
• committed to sanctity of life
• sexual counterculture

Richard Land on critical race theory:

2/2 Parents are justifiably horrified and are pushing back and pushing back hard. In the next few months, we will discover whether we really are still a government “of the people, by the people, for the people.” https://t.co/1tFHxfsiDQ

— Richard Land (@rdland) June 17, 2021

Evangelicals welcome Israel’s new president.

Evangelical pastors are trying to get their congregations vaccinated.

A Trump court journalist defines “journalism”:

??? This is called journalism. @CNN @MSNBC @nytimes etc. could learn a few things from the great @jsolomonReports https://t.co/774CDDwuLZ

Franklin Graham on Juneteenth:

Franklin Graham is happy about the recent Supreme Court decision:

Franklin Graham on Jack Phillips:

The man James Robison supported for president in 2016 and 2020 stomped-on the institutions that serve as the guardians of “principles” he discusses in this tweet. We are now left to pick-up the pieces and try to restore the strength of those institutions:

If the absolutes that are essential for freedom’s survival do not become the basic influence that shapes our decisions & actions, then freedom as we have known it will vanish. We must never forget the absolute principles that have been our solid foundation for over 200 years.

— James Robison (@revjamesrobison) June 17, 2021

James Dobson vs. CBS, CMT, and Hallmark:

Jack Graham on Juneteenth:

As we celebrate Juneteenth today let us recommit our very best to secure the freedom of all in America and around the world which is God’s gift to each person He has made. He sets the captives free.

— Jack Graham (@jackngraham) June 19, 2021

Gary Bauer supports the Juneteenth holiday:

Robert Jeffress defends Pence. There is nothing in his tweet about how he spent more than four years empowering those who heckled the former vice-president.

Crazy “Christians” who booed @Mike_Pence today and called him a “traitor” have no understanding of who the real Enemy is. The former VP and President Trump were the most pro-faith administration in history.

— Dr. Robert Jeffress (@robertjeffress) June 18, 2021

David Barton’s son Tim has a piece on Juneteenth at the pro-Trump Epoch Times. Dad loves it:

https://t.co/4YaRFpC7sO Great article by @TimDavidBarton on the @EpochTimes

— David Barton (@DavidBartonWB) June 18, 2021

Charlie Kirk is still mad about Juneteenth:

If you want to hear my complete thoughts on why Juneteenth shouldn’t be a federal holiday, listen at the link below. This is a comprehensive argument, rooted in truth and practical logic.

Exit the matrix and simulation—hear it yourself.https://t.co/4nJQiRABO7

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) June 18, 2021

Oh, I thought it was a celebration. https://t.co/XKCfBzpMqv

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) June 19, 2021

As Jonah Goldberg recently wrote, and Justin Amash tweeted, Kirk seemed to like Juneteenth when it was a Republican idea:

Plot twist in the fourth act… pic.twitter.com/tHzDCxmqzE

Liberty University’s Standing for Freedom Center has D’Souza’s back on Juneteenth:

#Juneteenth is another reason to celebrate July 4th, 1776, America's Independence Day. The events of June 19th, 1865 were made possible by the American principles of 1776. @DineshDSouza pic.twitter.com/IIQM1BASTt

— Standing for Freedom Center (@freedomcenterlu) June 19, 2021

Metaxas is still upset about getting kicked-off of YouTube:

Salem Media is funding Dinesh D’Souza’s latest documentary.

Bible: FOUND

The Trumpers are not the only one’s praying for a revival:

I’m thinking what might happen globally if a group of us really began to fervently pray. What might happen corporately in churches. What might happen under our own roofs. I believe all of this upheaval has fallow ground overturned & ready for seed. I think God’s up to something.

— Beth Moore (@BethMooreLPM) June 18, 2021

Wow–this piece on Al Mohler is rough.
