Evangelical roundup for August 12, 2021

John Fea   |  August 12, 2021

What is going on in Evangelicalland?

Christian Reconstructionists are thriving in Moscow, Idaho under the leadership of Douglas Wilson.

True:

Observation about evangelicals. They believe themselves to be the center of Christianity. They're isolated from conversations with other academic Christian traditions & tend to cherry-pick from other Christian traditions to validate their evangelical pre-commitments.

Slacktivist responds to Current managing editor Jay Green’s recent piece on “exvangelicals.”

Do evangelicals still care about abortion?

Beth Moore: If you are not going to get vaccinated, “for the love of God” put on a mask! Charlie Kirk responds with some good old-fashioned evangelical mansplaining:

Thankfully no one elected you. The Constitution was designed by divinely inspired people who feared the tyrannical language you generously use. We will do neither of those things.

Christians, pray for wisdom. https://t.co/kG7i5W882I

Vaccine hesitancy among evangelicals is real.

Very true. Jesus taught the disciples to be poor in spirit, meek, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, settle matters quickly with adversaries, tell the truth, turn the other cheek, love enemies, stop doing acts of righteousness before men, exercise humility, seek forgiveness of sins, overcome fear with faith, avoid judging others, enter through the narrow gate, deny themselves, sell everything and give it to the poor, etc.:

Our Christian faith is not limited to the walls of our church building. It is supposed to influence every sphere of life. Jesus gave us a specific mandate in Matthew 28 to take the Gospel message to all the world and to teach others to obey everything He taught. (1) pic.twitter.com/golIPEwole
