Evangelical roundup for April 18, 2022

John Fea   |  April 18, 2022

What is happening in Evangelical land?

Richard Ostling notices Daniel K. Williams’s piece, “Five Emerging Factions in Evangelical Higher Education.”

This impromptu evangelical worship service on a place is making the rounds on social media:

Big American Evangelicalism in 20 seconds….sigh! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ https://t.co/Nh7mr3euBX

More on how Ohio U.S. Senate candidate Josh Mandel runs his campaign “through churches.”

Jenna Ellis and Owen Strachan start talking about Easter and then move, almost seamlessly, to a discussion of the Judeo-Christian founding of America. Owen seems to be making an argument. I have no idea what Jenna is talking about:

It’s an Easter surprise! @ostrachan joins me for a very special Good Friday episode! https://t.co/7le6OYw077

Albert Mohler explains to his readers why he believes Mormons are not Christians.

The latest from Lance:

Christian nationalist conspiracy theorist Lance Wallnau warns that the New World Order will inject everyone with vaccines that can do "surveillance under the skin" in order to track who has negative reactions to "Antichrist Biden." pic.twitter.com/WPcL5b5BiA

Franklin Graham on praying for Putin.

Not all conservative evangelicals like the idea of Elon Musk buying Twitter. Here is Trump court journalist David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network:

Conservatives getting behind Elon Musk because of Twitter/free speech absolutism is short-sighted. You really want a globalist billionaire who supports transhumanism to be in charge of Twitter? This is NOT just about free speech. It’s bigger than that. You’ve been warned.

Virtual bathtub baptisms

Blast from the past:

Pentecostalism and the global poor.

More on Tucker Carlson’s visit to a California megachurch where he announced he was not vaccinated.

The “Rapture Index“

The National Association of Evangelicals launches a racial justice initiative.

The president of the National Association of Evangelicals talks with CNN about “depolarizing” faith:

More reporting on sexual misconduct at New York’s Hillsong.

Warren boils it down well:

"And debates about racism, gender, sexual abuse, and COVID-19 have divided evangelicals so sharply that many no longer trust Kantzer’s vision of an evangelicalism that tolerates lots of differences."

Sounds familiar… https://t.co/HO0Q1SxpSb

— Warren Throckmorton – Telling Jefferson Lies 🇺🇦 (@wthrockmorton) April 16, 2022

More antics from Greg Locke. This time he is calling for people to use their 2nd Amendment rights against “Democrat games”

True:

Theology 101: Sometimes it feels like evangelicals spend more time and energy converting other Christians to their theology than converting non-Christians to Christ.

— Dr. Michael J. Svigel (@Svigel) April 15, 2022

The critiques of Jesus and John Wayne have moved into the meme world:

Of all the misinformation entertained by white evangelicals in recent years, the notion that Christians who care about justice are responsible for fracturing the church might just be the most absurd. pic.twitter.com/zcWHUlME0i

Evangelical pastors on the meaning of baptism.

Tony Dungy on Easter:

Thank you @BenjaminSWatson for this reminder of what Easter Sunday represents-that we’re not celebrating a bunny, we’re remembering a sacrifice that Jesus made for us. https://t.co/DVniAS2BzY
