What is happening in Evangelical land?

I wonder how much of the current pearl clutching over the current state of evangelicalism in America could/would have been avoided if we’d listened to Black people at literally any point over the last 180 years or so. https://t.co/yapjZZ2Ss1 pic.twitter.com/Rg4ZRP50ik

Tim Keller on idols:

R.Niebuhr's cultural idolatries: (1) Nationalism–the idol of blood and soil (2) Marxism-the idol of the State (3) Capitalism-the idol of the market (4) Romanticism- the idol of the individual, expressive self (5) Scientism- the idol of reason and technology.

Tim Keller criticizes megachurches.

Blast from the past:

David French on evangelicals and CRT

A Christian Right culture warrior invokes Machen:

This quote deciphers the different reactions to Ketanji Brown Jackson this week. Understand this:

1. In evangelicalism, we are seeing two entirely different religions in action.

2. But it’s confusing because the adherents of Liberalism claim the name “Christian.” https://t.co/pPrrSM5G4p

Albert Mohler wants to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges.

Tish Harrison Warren on Timothy Keller’s battle with cancer.

A new candidate for the Southern Baptist Convention presidency says that he “determined that perhaps he could do more than be a ‘pastor’ with a Twitter account.” Apparently his view on whether Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church should remain in the SBC will be an issue:

Just so no one misses this. I'm thankful @bartbarber did respond to my tweet below that he does believe Saddleback should be disfellowshipped for ordaining pastors.

Apparently, Bart said something about this in response to a lengthy thread back in Aug, but I had not seen that. https://t.co/CYmYxX8NZT

— Tom Buck (Five Point Buck) (@TomBuck) April 9, 2022

Since Rick Warren essentially endorses @bartbarber, I think this needs to be asked since Rick Warren's church is in violation of Article VI of BFM 2000 by ordaining women.

Bart, do you believe a church who ordains women should be disfellowshipped from the SBC? https://t.co/Qi7nl8TVLc

— Tom Buck (Five Point Buck) (@TomBuck) April 9, 2022

I asked you a question in good faith. I don't scour through your timeline, which is why I asked. First I've seen that.

I'm glad to see your answer that you believe Rick Warren's church should be disfellowshipped. I stand with you on that.

How is my question an "ungodly tactic?"

— Tom Buck (Five Point Buck) (@TomBuck) April 9, 2022

A right-wing Southern Baptist website calls Russell Moore the “cheese eating surrender monkey of evangelicalism” and calls for “new generals” in the culture war.

The Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission is criticized for saying that the confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson was a “history-making moment.” Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council is one of the critics:

Can you point to the biblical justification for why we should "appreciate" a judge whose record states she is lenient on people who abuse children and refuses to acknowledge Matt 19:4? Christians should refuse to join the Left in celebrating identity politics. https://t.co/W7prN0knh9

— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) April 8, 2022

A megachurch pastor dismissed for intimidation and bullying has returned to the ministry.

Ralph Reed’s organization on Biden:

That’s our Snowflake in Chief! https://t.co/oN22XFxOmt

— Faith & Freedom (@FaithandFreedom) April 9, 2022

Evangelicals need to tell better stories.

Lance being Lance:
