The “last obstacle to criticize Christ was a governor”:

An evangelical political organization gives a lifetime achievement award to a guy who was reprimanded by the House of Representatives (395-28) on ethics violations, has been married three times, and had a six-year adulterous affair. But at least he fought for conservative ideals:

We are excited for this evening’s Patriot’s Gala! We are pleased to award Speaker @NewtGringrich the Winston Churchill Courage in Leadership Award. His legacy of courage and dedication to this country is truly exemplary. #RTM2022 pic.twitter.com/BNeDoLrjpQ

The Faith and Freedom Coalition looks to a David Barton colleague for its ideas about “Christian citizenship.” Rick Green hosts Barton’s radio program:

What does the Bible teach about Christian citizenship? Can its secrets fix a broken America? @RickGreenTX, founder of Patriot Academy, joins us now at #RTM2022. pic.twitter.com/n5fQwTc3sj

The Faith and Freedom crowd loves Hershel Walker.

This is what Christian nationalism looks like. Watch how court evangelical Jentezen Franklin merges the Old Testament, American ideals, and the “gospel of Jesus Christ”:

Sean Feucht was there to sign books and lead worship:

A theobro on Rick Warren and woman pastors.

Bruxy Cavey isn’t the only sexual abuser at The Meeting House, a megachurch in Toronto.

Conservative Southern Baptists turn on Richard Land. And this:

What is a scandal is that it took this long for conservative Christians to awaken to the fact that the SBC has been sold out to the globalists by leaders hired to build the firewalls and propagate the faith. https://t.co/bQ4axNYuF8

From the guy who carried water for the president who spent more time on the golf course than any other president. Charlie Kirk will be at a megachurch near you this weekend:

Given the dismal state of our nation, why was Joe Biden taking a leisurely bike ride along the beach in Delaware in the first place?

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) June 18, 2022

Charlie at a “Theology of Marxism” conference:

The anti-social justice warriors. I see John MacArthur, Tom Buck, Voddie Baucham:

It was 4 years ago today that we met in Dallas to discuss the issues surrounding the tsunami wave of "social justice Christianity" in evangelicalism.

Dark clouds are on the horizon.

Matt Hall has a Ph.D in American history from the University of Kentucky. He was Al Mohler’s provost at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He was just appointed provost at Biola University, the home of Talbot Theological Seminary. Some people are not happy about it:

Question for the nice folks at Talbot Theological Seminary:

Do you believe that Matt Hall was really "going rogue" when he was teaching CRT as Provost at Al Mohler's @SBTS or was he just following orders? pic.twitter.com/MAMsRn7PDr

— Michael O'Fallon – Sovereign Nations (@SovMichael) June 18, 2022

The Christian Right goes after the president when he falls off a bike. Seems like a Christian response would be to see if he is OK and show empathy. A regular Fox News viewer asked me this weekend if I believed that Biden was “mentally retarded.” I wonder where they got it from:

Your Commander in Chief 👇 https://t.co/bO6aJNsBb7

— Michael O'Fallon – Sovereign Nations (@SovMichael) June 18, 2022

Mike Huckabee too:

I don't think he remembers falling off the bike yesterday, which btw, was Trump and Putin's fault! https://t.co/BbGtyQtC4v

Eric Metaxas interviews Lauren Boebert, the “real deal.” She says God called her to run:

God and country at First Baptist-Dallas:

We are excited to have guest artist, Lee Greenwood joining us at our #Freedom Sunday service next weekend at First Dallas! He will be singing his most iconic single, "God Bless The U.S.A." and "God Bless America."

Is this really what the word “Freedom” means in Galatians 5? This was one of the most popular verses used by patriotic ministers during the American Revolution. Most of them confused political freedom with spiritual freedom:

"It was for freedom that Christ set us free." – Galatians 5:1

Join us next Sunday for patriotic music, a salute to our armed forces, an inspiring message, and more! pic.twitter.com/Y54DqsQsJq

Do these people know how idolatrous it sounds to talk about putting “America First” at a Christian gathering:

In celebration of Juneteenth, President Trump addresses national faith leaders at the @A1policy reception during @faithandfreedom in Nashville, TN. pic.twitter.com/NKmZhH5w9y

— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) June 19, 2022

This is interesting coming from this evangelicalTrump supporter:

To claim the high moral ground in any political fight, you must be a moral person, living a moral life, fighting a moral cause.

— Pastor John Hagee (@PastorJohnHagee) June 19, 2022

Court evangelicals Jack Graham and Ralph Reed believe that their support of Trump was vindicated:

We were vindicated in the decision we made-Ralph Reed https://t.co/6y6joPz7d0

— Jack Graham (@jackngraham) June 18, 2022

I guess there’s no need to attend this guy’s seminary:

I’m a PhD—I value scholarship when it helps to add clarity to a difficult issue. But when scholarship undermines the normal Christian’s confidence that he (or she) can simply open the Bible and understand what it says, we have lost the clarity of Scripture.

Owen on women pastors:

A guy who seems to think he has it all figured out also thinks God as incomprehensible. I’m confused.

Hobby Lobby donates $10 million to Evangel University:

It’s always about Beth Moore:

All of a sudden SBC leaders are talking about how the function of pastors (i.e., preaching) is limited to men.

Where were their voices when Beth Moore was being platformed in SBC pulpits?

— Tom Buck (Five Point Buck) (@TomBuck) June 18, 2022

Women=liberal drift:

Some of us were “harping” on the problem because so many in the SBC refused to listen.

Saddleback is just the tip of the iceberg. If the SBC wants to truly address this problem, it needs to disfellowship every church that has women functioning as a pastor/elder/overseer. https://t.co/Ws0MoNdziL
