Evangelical roundup for September 2, 2021

John Fea   |  September 2, 2021

What is going on in Evangelical land?

Will evangelicals who tell the truth continue to lose their jobs?

The VP of the National Association of Evangelicals on Afghanistan:

We've all seen the horrific images from Kabul. We pray for all who were left behind. But for those who were evacuated, there is work to do. Individuals, churches, families can all help. Find out how on this @NAEvangelicals webinar Sept. 9 at 2pm EThttps://t.co/GsDAP4rluK

— Galen Carey (@GalenCarey) September 1, 2021

The evangelical governor of Mississippi says that “when you believe in eternal life–when you believe that living on this Earth is but a blip on the screen, then you don’t have to be so scared of things.”

Timothy Keller references Duke Law Journal:

Great (but not easy) read is Arthur Leff's classic article "Unspeakable Ethics, Unnatural Law" in the Duke Law Journal. His basic case: If there is no God there is no basis for ethics except who has the most power. https://t.co/ienxEx3O37 Read it before you criticize the thesis.

— Timothy Keller (1950-2023) (@timkellernyc) September 1, 2021

Only 34% of white evangelicals are in favor of a complete ban on abortions:

I don't have a Q on this Texas law specifically, but it effectively makes abortion illegal in the state.

That approach is strongly opposed by *every* religious tradition in the US.

Only 34% of white evangelicals are in favor of a complete ban. Just 20% of white Catholics. https://t.co/OCFskFtcYh pic.twitter.com/e3K7bxQlLv

Trump court evangelical Paula White is leading a new faith-based outreach effort “to push back at what Republicans describe as an ‘anti-faith agenda’ by the Biden administration.”

Shane Claiborne is still making tools:

Trump evangelical court journalist David Brody interviews nativist Stephen Miller:

.@StephenM: “We didn’t go to war in Afghanistan to then close our eyes and open our doors to bring that threat into our country!”

Stephen Miller says the Biden Administration is allowing and will continue to allow thousands of unvetted refugees into the United States. pic.twitter.com/tu63aZIsaD

Christian t-shirts

Not all Montana evangelicals like refugees and immigrants.

Apparently the Fort Meyers, Florida school board is made up of a bunch of “demonic entities.”

Albert Mohler addresses the “plagiarism” of Southern Baptist Convention president Ed Litton.

The wife of the old pastor grabs the mic and accuses the new pastor of conspiring against her husband. It all happened at Grace Chapel outside of Nashville.

Evangelicals and socialists in Hungary

The leaders of the Ohio Christian Missionary and Alliance throw tomatoes at a K-Mart.

Blast from the past:

What should one do if a loved one who is an evangelical Christian will not take the vaccine?

Daniel Silliman’s new book is here:

California evangelicals love GOP gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder.

Not all evangelicals like Lecrae:

Why do the politically conservative Evangelicals think that sending me hateful messages is somehow a righteous mission?

— Lecrae (@lecrae) August 28, 2021

David French says it is time to stop rationalizing and enabling evangelical vaccine rejection.

Charlie Kirk has a new livestream of young, attractive, Christian conservatives. It’s “unfiltered!”:

Get hyped for our brand-new livestream, #TPUSALIVE launching September 13th featuring your favorite conservative personalities, coming to you 3 hours a day, Monday-Friday, from TPUSA HQ in Phoenix, Arizona. pic.twitter.com/tiGeaMZeuA

— Turning Point USA (@TPUSA) September 1, 2021

Charlie Kirk quotes the Bible:

Luke 15:4:

“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?"

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) August 30, 2021

The problem is much bigger than Mark Driscoll.

More providential history from Jack Hibbs:

Hibbs and Charlie Kirk are teaming-up again:

Russell Moore weighs-in on the Texas “heartbeat bill.”

Ralph Reed on Real Times with Bill Maher:

Good to be with @billmaher & @KattyKay_ on #RealTime to have a civil conversation where we disagree without being disagreeable—& occasionally even agreed. https://t.co/80kQLKn1ui

— Ralph Reed (@ralphreed) September 2, 2021

Southern Baptists have a conversion problem.

Gary Bauer has a plan:

Every place Pelosi, Biden and Harris go, patriots should gather to say the names of the 13 heroic Americans we lost. #Afghanistan #AfghanistanDisaster #BidenIsADisgrace #Americansleftbehind #BringBackTrump https://t.co/qmyfyeoOTw

— Gary L Bauer (@GaryLBauer) September 1, 2021

Bauer doesn’t like the January 6 commission:

January 6 Commission? Shut it down. Replace with a 9/11 type Commission to investigate why Biden/Harris/ gang left Americans to die in Afghanistan.
Then impeach this Great Pretender. #AfghanistanDisaster #BringBackTrump #BidenMustGo #Americansleftbehind #American #TrumpWasRight

— Gary L Bauer (@GaryLBauer) August 31, 2021

Bauer is praying for Trump’s return to office:

Amazing isn’t it. Our own youth live in the greatest nation in the history of the world and they have been taught to hate this “shining city on a hill.” I pray your father will sit in the Oval again.#AfghanistanDisaster #BidenIsADisgrace #BringBackTrump #GodBlessAmerica https://t.co/kgbB3djNS7

— Gary L Bauer (@GaryLBauer) August 29, 2021

Fox News gathered some “Christian scholars” to discuss whether LGBTQ activism poses a threat to evangelicalism.

The controversy at Bethlehem Baptist Church in historical context.

Tony Perkins is upset about Biden’s American Families Plan:

The Ezekiel Declaration is undermining vaccination in Australia.

The president of the Southern Baptist Convention supports the Texas abortion ban:

I’m thrilled to see #SCOTUS allow Texas’ life-saving legislation to take effect. The fight for life is by no means finished, but this was such an encouraging development. Pray that God would soon bring the terrible scourge of abortion to an end in America. https://t.co/Y6WTj7ipC2

— Ed Litton (@EdLitton) September 1, 2021

Franklin Graham too:

God bless Texas! At midnight a new law went into effect in the state banning all abortions after a heartbeat is detected from a baby in the womb. Since Roe v. Wade no other law has protected the lives of unborn children in the womb more than this one. https://t.co/dq3m0KWjmX

— Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) September 1, 2021

An evangelical congregations donates $20,000 to the Richmond (British Columbia) Hospital Foundation.

Sometimes when a church refuses to wear marks, puts the lives of its congregation in jeopardy, and has pastors that hide the truth about COVID-19 from members, it “is from the Lord.”:

Jenna: this is incredible. More significantly, this is from the Lord. I give thanks to God for your work here, sister.

The church is essential; without exception, there is no season in which it is not.
