Evangelical roundup for November 1, 2021

  |  November 1, 2021

What is happening in Evangelical land?

I am apparently an “elite evangelical.” I also love Cracker Barrel and Waffle House! šŸ™‚

Here is Karen Swallow Prior:

I invested 21 years of my life at @LibertyU, loving and serving with all my heart and soul and seeking only the best for it. I still do.

In return, I am attacked and misrepresented as a liberal progressive by @JerryPrevoLU’s @freedomcenterlu. Disgusting.https://t.co/lRty4SSWSd

And an update on the above tweet:

And “Karen’s pastor”:

As Karen’s pastor, I know firsthand she is a Godly woman with a passion for the Gospel. I love her family and appreciate them greatly. I’m sure Mr. Wolfe (whom I don’t know) just doesn’t know her as I do.

What is a white evangelical? Jana Reiss reviews Daniel Silliman’s Reading Evangelicals: How Christian Fiction Shaped a Culture and a Faith.

What happens when a Tallahassee police chief goes to a Franklin Graham “Law Enforcement Officer Appreciation” retreat? Franklin Graham comes to the police officer’s defense:

Activist groups are attacking Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell because he spoke at one of our @BGEA law enforcement retreats recently. They are calling for the city to ā€œdenounce and demoteā€ him. I hope they get no traction! https://t.co/TlH8iklB9U

Jim Wallis went to the Michigan State-Michigan game:

TAKE A BREAK. In the midst of our battles for justice, it’s always good and right to take a break. So we visited our son at college this weekend and I watched my Michigan State Spartans beat Michigan! Both brought me pure joy. Always take the time to find rest, love, and fun!

Wallis on Facebook:

Changing Facebook’s name means absolutely nothing. Changing from Zuckerberg’s leadership would mean everything & that will only happen when social media giants are not just regulated but broken up and decentralized for the common good. Take down his power over the meta world.

— Jim Wallis (@jimwallis) October 29, 2021

Wallis on Biden’s Build Back Better plan:

We are indeed at a Kairos time in the Congress—a transformational opportunity for poor families, children, and the planet. It’s time for Senators Manchin & Sinema, at this gospel moment, to get out of the way & let this biblical imperative happen. Don’t try to block God’s timing!

— Jim Wallis (@jimwallis) October 29, 2021

Not all evangelicals like Francis Collins of the National Institute of Health. One thinks he is a “tragic figure” and his career serves as a “cautionary tale.”

“Making disciples” for creation care.

John Hagee and his San Antonio megachurch “honors Israel.”

Who do evangelical pastors quit?

Evangelicals churches are feeding people who don’t have enough to eat.

Blast from the past:

Scot McKnight reflects on the votes of “no confidence” at North Park University and Cornerstone University.

Good news about Max Lucado:

Max Lucado's heart condition has unexpectedly improved https://t.co/uUcYS87VHI

Evangelical politics in North Carolina.

It appears that Mike Huckabee is not a fan of Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe:

What a sleazy, low-life bunch of bitter & hate-filled loons who dare disgrace the name of Lincoln w/ their pathetic "project" of political theater. https://t.co/4hMDNornF8

— Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) October 30, 2021

The New York Times covers Rachel Held Evans’s last book.

Al Mohler on Halloween:

Halloween has not grown tamer, it has only grown darker. As Halloween approaches, what should Christians consider? Here is my article, "Halloween and the Dark Side—What Should Christians Think?" I hope it helps. https://t.co/osoIDa0yRR

A Canadian evangelical church offers “religious exemptions” for COVID-19 vaccination.

Scott Lamb was the voice of Liberty University during the Falwell Jr. disaster. He has finally broken with Liberty:

Dominionism in Texas

Jack Hibbs:

Evangelical giving

Trump’s court journalist:

What’s Joe Biden going as for Halloween? I’ll start. A competent president dressed as Donald Trump. šŸ˜‰

Franklin Graham says he is not “anti-LGBTQ”

Philip Yancey on toxic churches.

The American Values Coalition is an attempt to fight disinformation among evangelicals.
