John Fea   |  September 29, 2022

New Tribes Missions training center in New Zealand, 1979

What is happening in Evangelical land?

Evangelicals are learning to “welcome the stranger.”

Bridging the gap between Christian liberal arts colleges and non-Christian liberal arts colleges.

New study: Evangelical Christians less likely to get COVID-19 vaccine after conversations with faith leaders.

World Relief calls on Joe Biden to aid more refugees and asylum seekers.

Beth Moore on “burning down” her ministry:

A good part of being pretty sure I’d burned down my whole ministry is that it was sorta like starting over in some ways. I don’t take a solitary person or opportunity for granted. Just ran into a young woman in the airport who does the studies. Sweetest moment. God’s so gracious.

Is partisan politics destroying evangelicalism?

Brother Andrew, RIP.

Two interim presidents at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary:

Following a special-called meeting of the Board of Trustees of #SWBTS, Chairman Danny Roberts today announced that trustees have invited @OSHawkins and @davidsdockery to provide joint leadership to the seminary during the interim period.https://t.co/1bslDvzmz9

Jamie Smith on Christian nationalism.

Some Arkansas evangelicals are backing Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s opponent.

Italian evangelicals respond to the country’s new Prime Minister.

Blast from the past:

Handwringing over doctrinal drift. And here.

There is a new rapture prediction out there.

She “humbly suggests”:

If, as a professing Christian, your conscience isn’t at least troubled by voting for the party endorsing the abortion of 40 week babies and the genital mutilation of children, I’d like to humbly suggest that that is a problem.

Liberty University’s Standing for Freedom Center is all in on Italy’s new prime minister:

“We will defend God, country, and family.” That is the promise of Giorgia Meloni, who is set to become Italy’s next premier, or prime minister, after her political party, Brothers of Italy, dominated in the most recent round of the Italian elections. https://t.co/sHAEiALqvm

Of course the church is political. It’s members are citizens of the Kingdom of God, a political kingdom that Jesus defined in the Sermon on the Mount:

Despite what many may think, the truth is that the Church is a political body. It always has been and it always will be. https://t.co/RNYs4DFNjI

Lance is part Jewish:

Typical leftist lies on what happens at a Republican event. I should know, I’m the one on the stage. I had the crowd raise their hand and bring it down “as one” to commemorate day 2 Little Round-top at battle of Gettysburg. Nazi? You putz, I’m part Jewish! https://t.co/HDP6eiEKn5

More Mastriano on abortion. This time with Trump court journalist David Brody. Yes, the people will decide in November:

SENATOR MASTRIANO: The issue of abortion is up to the people of Pennsylvania. The radical on abortion is Josh Shapiro who thinks it's ok to kill a baby up to birth."pic.twitter.com/PgfLFAC6Q4

— Jack Poso 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) September 26, 2022

JUST IN: .@dougmastriano says his challenger for gov @JoshShapiroPA "has a real grudge against the Catholic Church." GAME ON. Says Josh Shapiro "stands for tyranny." Mastriano also cites a lack of national GOP support so it'll be "up to the people to pull me across the line." pic.twitter.com/1Q78UGAlfQ

Jack Hibbs wants to get involved in politics to stop murder:

"Will the pulpit, the pastors and the Christians say 'No' to murder or are they just going to say 'We don't get involved in politics?'"@RealJackHibbs & @tperkins discuss the need to Vote No in California on Proposition 1.

Nothing new about this. People were saying nearly the exact same thing in 1960s when prayer and Bible reading in schools were declared unconstitutional. Heck, the Puritans were saying it in 17th-century Massachusetts:

As America continues down the road of decadence and lawlessness, don’t be surprised when one day we awake to find that we have been swept away after abandoning the God who made this country great. https://t.co/CKSia48rLl

— Jack Hibbs (@RealJackHibbs) September 26, 2022

Hibbs also have a few things to say about anxiety:

Apparently Arizona Christian University has not gone woke:

Eric Metaxas and Sean Feucht talk about Feucht’s new movie. Is his revival about bringing people to Christ or about bringing people to a particular brand of right-wing politics? It’s a question work asking, especially if you follow Feucht on Twitter.

From Metaxas to Tucker:

My hour long interview with @tuckercarlsontonight is out TODAY exclusively on @foxnation

I’ll be on his show tonight as well at 8pm EST. See you then! 🤠 pic.twitter.com/q3nD8K6vrr

— Sean Feucht (@seanfeucht) September 28, 2022

Robert Jeffress keeps churning out books:

I am excited to announce that my brand-new book, 18 Minutes With Jesus, releases on Tuesday, October 4!

Tony Perkins praises Lindsey Graham’s 15-week abortion ban proposal. Is Perkins getting soft on abortion?

What if a spiritual awakening does not revive the United States of America?:

We need a spiritual awakening and a revival in the United States of America.

“Climbers.” This clip reminds of Wendell Berry’s line about “up” being the wrong direction:

Climbers see obstacles as opportunities. Climbers know that a bend in the road is not the end of the road!

The former president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary was moving to the Southern Baptist’s International Mission Board. But apparently he doesn’t “feel the Lord’s peace.”:

We have not been able to find the Lord’s peace to move forward in that direction. We covet your prayers for ourselves and for our children as we seek the Lord’s direction regarding His next vocational assignment for us. 2/2

— Adam W. Greenway (@AdamGreenway) September 28, 2022

Carl Trueman expounds on the conflict over LGBTQ at Seattle Pacific University.

Sarah Jakes Roberts replaces her father, T.D. Jakes.

More on female pastors in the Southern Baptist Convention.

They’re coming for Chris Tomilin:

The most prolific musician within the contemporary Christian music industry celebrated & promoted one of the most dangerous false teachers of our day.
