How long will American evangelicals support Israel?
Tony Perkins believes that the attack on January 6th was the same as the Black Lives Matter protests. As Sean Hannity recently confirmed, this is now a Christian Right talking point:
And more from Tony. Apparently for this Trump-supporter who didn’t say a negative word about the former president while he was in office, holding Meadows in contempt for refusing to obey a congressional subpoena is “politics at its worst.”
Court evangelical Mike Evans is “horrified” by Trump’s comments about Netanyahu. Evans founded the Friends of Zion Heritage Center and the Friends of Zion Museum in Jerusalem to celebrate the “everlasting bond between the Jewish and Christian peoples.” When Trump announced that he was moving the American embassy to Jerusalem, Evans enthusiastically told the Christian Broadcasting Network that when he saw Trump in the Oval Office he would say to him “Cyrus, you’re Cyrus. Because you’ve done something historic and prophetic.” Times appear to have changed.

The plumber who found $60,000 in a wall at Joel Osteen’s megachurch will get a $20,000 reward.
Jack Hibbs continues his attacks against mask mandates because his rights come from God, not government:
I think Liberty University’s Standing for Freedom Center agrees with Hibbs, despite the fact that Liberty University has a mask mandate for employers:
Robert Jeffress is so excited that Trump is coming to his church on Christmas that he went on the air to talk about it:
Joe Namath?:
More on David Barton’s comment about his neighbor’s right to own a nuclear weapon.
David Brody, the Trump court journalist, is upset:
More reporting on the Liberty University sexual assault cases.
Keller recommends Machen and Cone:
Cryptocurrency in the collection plate.
Court evangelicals grabbing a burger (this looks like an old pic):

Al Mohler’s presidential address to the Evangelical Theological Society. Mohler listsĀ four temptationsĀ facing the Evangelical Theological Society: Fundamentalism, Atheism, Catholicism, and Theological Liberalism. He defines āfundamentalismā in terms of retreat from the world and certain ātheological eccentricities.ā He does not define fundamentalism in terms of a militant defense of the faith, the prevalence of institutional fiefdoms dominated by powerful masculine leaders, and the tendency to see the world in a binary way. Al Mohler and his disciples at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary represent all of these things. Watch:
