Evangelical roundup for December 13, 2021

John Fea   |  December 13, 2021

What is happening in Evangelical land?

More scandal at Liberty University.

A sports ministry legend has died.

Another QAnon conference at an evangelical megachurch:

The next big religious liberty case before the Supreme Court.

Evangelical views on Joe Biden:

61% of white evangelicals believed Joe Biden was "very liberal" in November of 2020. It was 40% of white Catholics.

But, just 13% of agnostics and 9% of atheists believed Biden was very liberal.

Atheists were as likely to think he was "somewhat conservative" as "very liberal" pic.twitter.com/MIowTiVmO6

Evangelical muckrakers

Jenna Ellis may be in big trouble:

In one previously unreported memo, Jenna Ellis delivered a technical — and far-fetched — legal argument to another of the former president's outside lawyers https://t.co/JTG25uB55b

— POLITICO (@politico) December 10, 2021

But it is all Politico‘s fault:

Wondering how @politico thinks it’s responsible or ethical journalism to publish attorney-client privileged documents.

They admit they are the first to publish in their entirety the two Ellis memos, which both have the banner “ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGED.”

Trump hatred persists.

The former Liberty University Falkirk Center (now) Standing for Freedom Center) fellow does not like libs.

Cry more, lib. https://t.co/GlKMChlqr7

Jenna retweeted Robert George’s tweet below. Whatever one thinks about the religious nature of “wokeness,” I think Jenna’s Twitter account reveals that MAGA is also a religion:

More evidence, as if more were needed, that Woke ideology functions in the lives of Woke believers as a religion–a militant, fundamentalist faith whose faithful view themselves as duty bound to wage holy war against the infidel. https://t.co/OuqLAb8Nds

Josh Duggar is found guilty.

The United Nations is demonic:

I appreciate @lancewallnau's straight talk. And let's just get the hell out of the demonic United Nations! pic.twitter.com/vIajxavZe2

Seven Mountain Dominionist Lance on the “battle for control of the church”:

U.K. evangelicals and conversion therapy.

“The effeminate and failed conservative intelligentsia”:

I joined Charlie Kirk to talk about masculinity, the effeminate and failed conservative intelligentsia, how neoconservatives exploit male patriotism to advance imperial projects under the rainbow flag, being a dad, and more. https://t.co/ogvnXjxicM

Are drops in church attendance related to politicized pulpits?

James Robison is looking for the next Great Awakening to solve the country’s problems:

In light of our current national economic crisis, political chaos and military inferiority, I can safely say our only hope of survival is revival, leading to the next Great Awakening.

— James Robison (@revjamesrobison) December 9, 2021

Who is speaking at the Southern Baptist Convention’s Pastors Conference?

Blast from the past:

A Marjorie Taylor Greene ally in the House of Representatives has connections with Liberty University.

An evangelical megachurch pastor on deconstruction:

Where are the liberal evangelicals?

Evangelicalism is a big tent:

Evangelicals supported their institutions during the pandemic.

Apparently the pro-Trump Standing for Freedom Center at Liberty University has now seen the light about government lies! :-):

It is obvious that our government is not being honest with Americans on many issues, be it financial, health, or climate-related. To stem the tide of their deceit and manipulation, you must be able to think for yourself, understand that powerful people are capable (1) pic.twitter.com/ZJzdxicTeE

Mike Stone withdraws his lawsuit against Russell Moore.

Greg Laurie is repelling to the Hollywood Sign:

Greg just celebrated a birthday:

Happy Birthday to my good friend @GregLaurie! In honor of today, here’s a #Throwback from 2000 with my father @BillyGraham in Boone, NC. pic.twitter.com/XsKaywSXzz

David French on deconstructing evangelicalism.

The Christian Right’s Gary Bauer captures the current the state of Christian political discourse today:

Does anyone know if Twitter is down? I can’t find any tweets from Biden, Harris, AOC, or anyone in Hollywood admitting they were stupid enough to believe Smollett. #Smollett #smollettverdict #SmollettIsARacist #JussieSmollettTrial #Jussie

Samaritan’s Purse on the ground in Kentucky.

Court evangelicals on a date night:

Unbelievable date night with @cherise05 and dear friends @Paula_White and @TheJonathanCain Mr Journey!!!!!!!!!! @JourneyOfficial in concert! pic.twitter.com/FGG1xJWHPI

— Jentezen Franklin (@Jentezen) December 9, 2021

The director of the career center at John MacArthur’s The Master University is arrested for embezzlement and perjury.

Tim Keller recommends an excellent book on the resurrection:

One example: The resurrection narratives. If someone was making them up at the time, women wouldn't have been the first eyewitnesses. Many other aspects of Jesus' resurrection accounts could have hardly been fabricated. See https://t.co/xR9wgQytrk pic.twitter.com/4yQQX2LfYP

Shane Claiborne and Russell Moore discuss the death penalty:

Here’s the link to the conversation with @drmoore in case you missed it! https://t.co/oF4EHt1BQd

— Shane Claiborne (@ShaneClaiborne) December 9, 2021

The designer of the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum has died.

Some conservative evangelicals believe other conservative evangelicals are fomenting “revolution”:

Friends don't let friends fall into the manipulative lies told by "Christian" Gaslighter in Chief, Ed Stetzer.

Ed: "Everything is normal. Nothing to be concerned about. On with the revolution…" pic.twitter.com/XHVkZckq6a

— Michael O'Fallon – Sovereign Nations (@SovMichael) December 5, 2021

Of all of the primary figures to usher in the cult of woke into Christianity:

Keller, Moore, Mohler, Duncan, Akin…

None of these has done more damage to the church through exponential radicalization than Ed Stetzer.

He is the king of Neo-Gnostic evangelism. pic.twitter.com/boiEdJOOcF
