Evangelical roundup for July 21, 2022

John Fea   |  July 21, 2022 Leave a Comment

What is happening in Evangelical land?

No more baptisms in Lake Geneva, Switzerland.

Do evangelical pastors still need seminary training?

World Relief on why evangelicals must be proactive on climate change.

Tim Keller offers a Third Way:

I've never counseled a middle way. I've counseled a third way–which is Jesus. The danger of the middle way is you think the answer is 50% of each alternative. The third-way is distinct from either alternative. https://t.co/BOvassru95

Greg Laurie’s movie about the Jesus People is not out yet and he is already producing another one. I wonder what Johnny would think about Greg cozying-up to Trump. Perhaps Greg should watch this Netflix documentary.

Shane Claiborne is also making a film:

We are making a film.
The People vs. The Death Penalty

We want you to be a part of it.
Let’s do this… https://t.co/nWSLrHOU4F

Are gay people sinners? Piers Morgan and Franklin Graham debate.

The National Association of Evangelicals joins other faith groups in urging Congress to pass the Nonprofit Security Grant Program Improvement Act.

Jim Wallis on Joe Manchin’s rejection of the Child Tax Credit:

There was a legislative solution for people who can't afford to feed their family, put gas in their car and pay their utility bills. It was called the Child Tax Credit. I and many other faith leaders directly told Manchin and his staff about how the CTC helps. He blocked it. https://t.co/xRZKH8vgCa

The Baptist World Alliance meets at Samford University in Birmingham, AL.

We got a nice plug on the Holy Post Podcast.

Al Mohler is taking names:

What explains the fact that 47 Republicans in the House of Representatives voted to support same-sex marriage? Their act was profoundly unconservative, but it tells us a lot about these 47. Take names. https://t.co/acmkbzrjJw @WNGdotorg @WNGOpinions pic.twitter.com/lrJH9SoVeW

So is Jack Hibbs:

Evangelicals in local media.

An Iowa senator and the Iowa governor attend an event hosted by an evangelical pro-life organization.

Truth:

It appears that some Christians with platforms have strategically chosen to be just Christian enough to stay in the conversation and influence the Church, but not Christian enough to ever take an unpopular stance against the culture.

That’s a dangerous game. Gain the world…

Blast from the past:

A member of the Presbyterian Church in America reflects on its departure from the National Association of Evangelicals.

Eric Metaxas and Mike Lindell talk about the Big Lie. Lindell says he has evidence to prove Biden stole the election and he will release it at an “invite only” summit on August 22, 2022 in Springfield, Missouri. Metaxas believes the election was stolen and he doesn’t care what anybody else thinks. And by the way, Lindell is now selling coffee. It’s called My Coffee. Watch:

A Colorado Springs church with a propensity for inviting pro-MAGA guest preachers.

What’s next for the pro-life movement?:

ā€œIt is thus not a far leap from Dobbs to constitutional personhood. The hurdle is not one of moral, biological, or constitutional truth, but rather one of fortitude and sheer willpower.ā€ @Josh_Hammer @JoshJCraddock @Newsweek https://t.co/waZpFgKK8K

The Christian Right wants pro-life District Attorneys:

ā€œSo this November, fight to keep it. Fight to vindicate the Founders’ cherished hope of guaranteeing life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to all Americans — even those who have yet to be born.ā€ @timothyrhead @WestJournalism https://t.co/AgBXuCmPKt

Are evangelicals deconstructing their faith?

Nikki Haley hints at a presidential run while speaking at the Christians United for Israel annual event. More on the conference:

That’s a wrap! Thank you to everyone who came to our nation’s capital for our annual Summit! We already cannot wait for next year’s Summit when we gather again for Zion’s sake.#cufisummit2022 pic.twitter.com/f53DhIrSWR

Tony Perkins on the the Respect for Marriage Act:

ā€œThis [bill] is being rushed through for political purposes by Democrats…They’re blowing over regular order, and they don’t care.ā€@chiproytx on the same-sex marriage vote in the House of Representatives with @tperkins

The Liberty University Standing for Freedom Center compares opposition to Christian nationalism with the castration of a bull. They also suggest that one cannot be pro-life and pro-critical race theory.

Their president tried to undermine American democracy, but the Christian Right is focused on AOC:

Fake handcuffs 101: when using make believe fake handcuffs, make sure you don’t motion upward with your arm and a raised fist to the crowd. You must try harder to pull off the deception. @AOC

Sex abuse allegations at a Fresno Assembly of God church.

Trump and Mastriano evangelical lawyer Jenna Ellis is not only trying to overturn Obergefell, but she is also apparently a prophet:

The same-sex ā€œmarriageā€ legislation will backfire and pave the way to overturn Obergefell.

Plus, @sec_walters joins to discuss why we should abolish the federal Department of Education and the move in Oklahoma to stop teaching social justice and CRT!https://t.co/H0wsnloDa0

— Jenna Ellis (@JennaEllisEsq) July 20, 2022

The influence of David Barton

The origins of a federal investigation into an evangelical Christian college.

Truth continuums:

Weekly round up:
1. I am not a taco. šŸ˜‚
2. @MattCarp13 is on fire!
3. Faith and science are part of the same truth continuum.
4. #WebbSpaceTelescope pics=amazing!
5. 81% of Americans believe in God, 49% believe the Bible is inspired by God. Cup half full=there is hope. šŸ™šŸ¼
