Evangelical roundup for July 29, 2021

John Fea   |  July 29, 2021

What is going on Evangelicalland?:

Are evangelicals anti-anti-racist?

One evangelical doesn’t like David French writing about race. Here is what French wrote.

Shane Claiborne wants to visit Greg Locke’s church:

What’s the address? 😉 https://t.co/z1ykhfdvVa

Christian Contemporary Music is more popular than country music…IN NASHVILLE!

The Holy Post tackles reparations:

Want to start a fight on social media? Just say the word "reparations." @_wgthompson and @dukekwondc did more than that with a whole book on the topic, leading to a series of controversial reviews & responses. Now Thompson joins us to talk it all through!https://t.co/Y9XsCTsls7

“It is my fervent hope that every time Ken Starr enters a church, when he bows his head to pray, that he sees the faces of all the children and women who had been harmed and that he could have helped, but did not…”–Judi Hershman.

“Selfish special interest groups”:

If decent citizens are no longer inspired by the magnificent ideals and principles that have made America the greatest nation in history, I guarantee you that selfish special interest groups will be inspired to fill the gap with their own self-serving goals.

Evangelicavision:

“Evangelicavision”: the ability to see in Scripture what’s not actually there

“Evangelicalism teaches a few simple tenets of faith thoroughly, while many important truths – especially about love and sacrifice – are glossed over.”

Can evangelical men learn something from Ted Lasso?:

One-quarter of white evangelicals don’t want the vaccine. This is not a good look for people who claim to follow Jesus. Dr. Andrew Wong agrees.

Blast from the past:

The Evangelical Environmental Network and Young Evangelicals for Climate Change are supporting Pennsylvania senator Bob Casey’s call for a new Civilian Conservation Corps.

What is the difference between the Gospel Coalition and Mars Hill Church?:

The distance between Mars Hill on the one hand and the Piper-Grudem-Gospel-Coalition-Council-on-Biblical-Manhood-and-Womanhood-complementarian-industrial-complex on the other is about this 🤏 much.

This wasn’t an aberration in contemporary evangelicalism. Far from it.

Jack Hibbs is hanging out with Mike Pompeo:

Hibbs is also using his platform to promote Larry Elder’s candidacy for governor of California:

Russell Moore and Tim Dalrymple of Christianity Today will discuss Christian publishing:

In this Evangelical Press Association webinar on Tuesday, Russell Moore & Timothy Dalrymple will discuss the importance of proper, holistic theology particularly as it relates to those in the Christian communications and publishing worlds.

Good news from Nigeria.

Eric Metaxas says that his recent appearance on Steve Bannon’s show was “epic.”

Kirk is not backing down on his recent Simone Biles remarks. Catch him an evangelical megachurch near you:

Just so we’re clear—I stand by every word of this.

Listen to my full thoughts on Simone Biles’ “Mental Health” spectacle yesterday here: https://t.co/aYolqpDzPOhttps://t.co/HqqCXTj9pn

David Brody compares racial segregation to vaccine policy:

Segregation is back: the Unvaccinated are being treated like lepers in today’s America. Watch my monologue today and spread the word: it’s time for a Movement to Stop the Tyrannical Nonsense on Vaccine Mandates. Full monologue here. https://t.co/q0QkQisOa3 @RealAmVoice pic.twitter.com/PC1wO3BK8J

Max Lucado has COVID-19:

Groan. Covid found me. Tested positive yesterday. Was planning to preach today @oakhillschurch and go with some guys on epic golf trip to Ireland tomorrow. Turns out it's me in a downstairs room with aches, stuffy head and quarantine.

Yuck. pic.twitter.com/Q1FpFMTuHy

Evangelicals love Christian Olympians.

More on the Liberty University rape victims.

Franklin Graham on George Foreman on patriotism:

George is right. He said, "It's all fashionable to be anti-American … People ask me what are you talking about? Can't you see what was done then and what was done now? Can't you see? And I tell them swiftly, you can't talk me out of my love.”

— Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) July 27, 2021

A good word for the evangelical anti-vaxxer crowd:

Why not read them all?:

This is excellent advice! And Secretary Pompeo you have the order right too.
Start with the Bible! It is the foundation of Judeo/Christian civilization. #GodBlessAmerica #America #MAGA https://t.co/srQcJNjbiT

Ironic:

The Progressive Fundamentalism religion of today has a counterfeit model in our political leaders as its false apostles, the voice of the media as its false prophets, and academia as its false teachers. pic.twitter.com/IKarepc1gr

Liberty University and Owen Strachan are going to “dismantle the Left”:

Christians need to dismantle leftism because its tenants and presuppositions go against the Christian faith. Learn more about why leftism is so antithetical to Christianity by listening to our latest podcasts with Voddie Baucham, Dr. Owen Strachan, and Lucas Miles. (1) pic.twitter.com/ata7yqn2zL
