John Fea   |  September 12, 2022

Chick Tract

What is happening in Evangelical land?

Daniel Williams on why progressive Christians should join the pro-life cause.

Is evangelical male-female friendship possible?

Jim Wallis defends Biden’s Philadelphia speech.

Lisa Sharon Harper on the death of Queen Elizabeth:

2/ The world whispers adieu to #QueenElizabeth. She was not born to carry it, yet SHE walked it through rough transition from an age of conquest to an age of possibility. Questions rise like prayers as the crown now falls on Charles’s brow. 2/

— Lisa Sharon Harper (she/her) (@lisasharper) September 8, 2022

Could now be the time when the crown looks full in the faces of the images of God under its feet—the dominions, the debt, the despair—and decides to live differently in the world? Lilibet walked the crown to this moment. Now, will the new #King embrace a politics of love? 3/3

It looks like Beth Moore finally got around to reading Devil in the White City. This is like the Oprah Book Club for evangelicals. Erik Larson should expect a bump in sales šŸ™‚ :

Well, fellow bookies, upon many of your recommendations, I just finished Larson’s The Devil in the White City. It was mind spinning &, like The Splendid and the Vile, will now send me into a frenzy of further inquiries. This one was so creepy! Oh man, Holmes was the devil indeed. pic.twitter.com/LhNHPxH0PW

The Coalition for Christian Colleges & Universities is hiring and editorial specialist.

The CCCU prays for those mourning Queen Elizabeth:

We ask for the Lord to bless the people in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries as they remember and honor their beloved Queen. ā€œBlessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comfortedā€ (Matthew 5:4). pic.twitter.com/wgWiCEByUS

Evangelicals and celebrity culture.

An evangelical pastor and the politics of Jesus.

An organization of English evangelicals responds to Queen Elizabeth’s death.

Blast from the past:

EventBrite will not promote Matt Walsh’s documentary “What is a Woman?”

Jenna Ellis seems to make a distinction here between “America First conservatives” and Republicans. Is there a difference? šŸ˜‰ :

Republicans won’t.

America First conservatives will. https://t.co/DPFMN3CQkc

— Jenna Ellis (@JennaEllisEsq) September 10, 2022

A writer for the Standing for Freedom Center at Liberty University seems to be against democracy. Expect him to write a similar piece defending democracy when it supports his Christian nationalist/Christian Right agenda.

This is hilarious. Charlie Kirk defends British colonialism while sitting in front an American flag:

Eric Metaxas at the Truth & Liberty Coalition Conference. Other speakers included Lance Wallnau and Mario Murillo of the New Apostolic Reformation:

A “high-energy” worship experience is coming to Robert Jeffress’s First Baptist Church–Dallas:

NEXT week, the Newsboys join us for a high-energy worship experience for our second Fantastic Fall Sunday! Plan to join us at First Dallas at 9:15 and 11am CT on Sunday, September 18. pic.twitter.com/8PiFwylvnM

— Dr. Robert Jeffress (@robertjeffress) September 10, 2022

The PR guy for the Trump court evangelicals has new book out. I wonder if there are any chapters on the “Christian persecution” the Christian Right is experiencing in the United States. šŸ˜‰ :

Very very excited about this. It’s my 9th book but my most important.

It’s over 600 pages.

We tell the story of Christian persecution, with all its facets, through the centuries. @TyndaleHouse releases it March 2023.

Never too early to pre-order:https://t.co/s7B7CLjX5M pic.twitter.com/tzvzPWQoXa

Conservative evangelicals loved Queen Elizabeth:

The passing of Queen Elizabeth II, who has been a consistent & beloved figure on the world stage for nearly a century, is a moment to reflect on our eternal nature.

No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him. 1 Cor 2:9

Carl Trueman on Elizabeth’s faith

“Breaking”:

Breaking: Here is my commentary on the death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II today — the meaning of Britain’s second Elizabethan Age. https://t.co/xvLMX33R41 pic.twitter.com/SpSabvHlxp

— Albert Mohler (@albertmohler) September 8, 2022

Queen Elizabeth II was not only a monarch, but a rock of grace, virtue, & propriety. She reigned through a myriad of tumultuous & challenging times, but her stoic & steadfast devotion to her country & people may never be equaled. God's grace to her family & the people of the UK.

— Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) September 9, 2022

I’m sorta really tender hearted and lumped of throat over Queen Elizabeth. Goodness. What a life and what an era narrowing to a close. Merciful Jesus, be near.

— Beth Moore (@BethMooreLPM) September 8, 2022

It’s fundraising time for Paula White:

God is opening the window of heaven for your financial flow of blessing and increase. He is a covenant keeping God! https://t.co/9YDaYjFQgm

— Paula White-Cain (@Paula_White) September 8, 2022

More accusations of plagiarism.

The National Religious Broadcasters take a hard right turn:

Equally disturbing – the assertion from the NRB that most Christians support Trump. Forgetting that only a majority of WHITE Christians support Trump. 90% of black protestants opposed. Also majority of Latino Xians.
But apparently the NRB doesn't recognize them as "Christians?"

How does one measure the “greatness” of an evangelism professor? Did he have more conversions than any other evangelism professor? šŸ™‚ :

Ten years ago today, the greatest #evangelism professor in our history finished his race, having fought the good fight and having kept the faith. For those of us privileged to have been his @SWBTS students, Dr. Roy J. Fish left an indelible imprint. Thankful for his #SWBTSLegacy. pic.twitter.com/7mzjBciVfS

    Reading the Evangelical Roundup is always interesting. I don’t suppose that some of this stuff could be made up. On the other hand, some of this is simply ridiculous.

    Thanks, Richard. I try to cover evangelicalism from every angle–not just the crazies! šŸ™‚
