John Fea   |  November 15, 2021

What is happening in Evangelical land?

Liberty University seeks gag order for former VP of Communications.

Jerry Falwell Jr. reinstates his lawsuit against Liberty University.

Two Jane Does in the Liberty University sex abuse lawsuit speak:

In the midst of it all, the folks at Liberty University are holding a conference titled “Freedom Uncensored”:

Packed house at @freedomcenterlu’s #FreedomUncensored Conference.

Speaking now: @VirgilWlkrOMAHA on biblical justice and “Racial Reconciliation.”

“We who believe in Christ are already reconciled to God and one another by the work of Christ.”

Beth Barr becomes part of the story. Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood goes after her church. (Here is the piece at the center of this controversy.) And this:

$14,316.34

We just got this update.

There are not words.

I met Paul Pressler once. At the time I didn’t know he was molesting young men.

Timothy Keller with a lesson from Amos:

In Amos 1-2 God denounces social injustice (such as slave-trading 1:6 and wartime atrocities) in non-believing nations (Syria, Tyre, Edom, Moab, Philistia, Ammon). He doesn't only condemn it in Israel. He requires justice in all societies.

David French on the state of evangelicals and politics.

Shane on the death penalty and the Bible Belt:

The sad fact is, the death penalty has survived in America, not in spite of Christians, but because of us. The Bible Belt is the death belt. If Christians decided not to kill, it would be the end of the death penalty— @GovAbbott @GovBillLee @GovStitt… https://t.co/2gpf2yrzML

Some “solid” political theology from General Flynn:

Michael Flynn tonight: “If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion. One nation under God, and one religion under God.” pic.twitter.com/ShGVrsQ9hW

Rob Schenk‘s evangelical crusade against guns.

An evangelical church gives away coats.

Another episode of the Mars Hill podcast is here.

Blast from the past:

An evangelical pastor bikes the U.S.-Mexico border.

Twitter is a place for bold declarations:

The Ockenga/Henry/Graham(OHC) evangelical era is officially over (1942-2022). It will not survive the current fissures of race (CRT, anti-racism) & politics (tribalism). It was already on life-support, then Trump happened followed by George Floyd's murder. It was a good run. pic.twitter.com/J9wHXuw0Vi

— Anthony Bradley (@drantbradley) November 12, 2021

Today you'll find echoes of Tillich, Niebuhr, & Graham(TNG) *within* OHC institutions today. In the same way that followers of TNG broke fellowship in the 1960s/70s, OHCers will do so in the years to come. Therefore, RIP OHC Evangelicalism (1942-2022). Memory be eternal! pic.twitter.com/8aRHLbpHcB

Owen continues to pontificate:

We evangelical theologians are being led today toward a Popeless and Trentless Catholicism: natural theology, natural law, Thomistic metaphysics & apologetics, methodological Traditionalism.

Brand-new podcast episode: "The Biblical Godhead."

Evangelical pastor: We can do better than “Let’s Go Brandon.”

John Hagee sings a familiar tune:

America is now in a revival of paganism and secularism; the more secular we become, the more godless we become. It’s time for a revolution of righteousness to sweep America.

— Pastor John Hagee (@PastorJohnHagee) November 11, 2021

Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council is not happy about the GOP’s LGBTQ outreach.

Lou Dobbs is back and Robert Jeffress is there:

Here’s my extended interview with @LouDobbs on his new podcast “The Great America Show.” So great to have Lou’s much-needed voice back in the public square! https://t.co/PzEUjNCumm

— Dr. Robert Jeffress (@robertjeffress) November 12, 2021

An Ohio U.S. Senate candidate makes an appeal to white evangelicals.

Eric Metaxas: “It’s such a joy to know you exist Stephen K. Bannon”. Watch:

Eric Metaxas and Ben Carson continue to spread fears about the COVID-19 vaccines. Metaxas claims the vaccine leads to miscarriages, the breakdown of the immune system, and cancer. Carson does not correct him.

Saved from the “clutches of Marxism.”

Political division in Western Michigan evangelical churches.

A Covenant College production tackles political polarization.
