Evangelical roundup for November 7, 2022

John Fea   |  November 7, 2022

What is happening in Evangelical land:

Is immigration an opportunity or a threat for evangelicals?

Oxford evangelicals are not happy with their diocesan bishop’s stand on same-sex marriage. More here.

Herschel Walker wants redemption without atonement.

Shane receives a Beloved Community Award from the King Center:

I am humbled and so grateful to receive one of the Beloved Community Awards from @TheKingCenter… I’m also thrilled to receive this award alongside people I admire so much… like @DollyParton! pic.twitter.com/tWM2WapcLs

Can evangelicals help fix America’s immigration problem?

Christianity Today talks with Bono.

Russell Moore on the Pelosi attack.

Well put:

Jesus said “narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life.” There’s no “unless.” He did not say the gate is narrow unless you defeat your ideological foes. Christianity is always counter cultural, and will be until Christ comes again: https://t.co/5VGih8VXcK

Lecrae’s latest song includes references to John Piper, Voddie Bauchman, Tim Keller, Tony Evans, and Judah Smith.

Jim Wallis, Shane Claiborne, and Jemar Tisby, and Doug Pagitt urged the January 6th House Select Committee to investigate Christian nationalism.

Blast from the past:

Hulu’s Jerry Falwell Jr. documentary is here.

Al Mohler takes his shot at Calvin University.

It’s two days before an election. That must mean it’s time to break out 2 Chronicles 7:14:

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chron 7:14, NKJV).

“Rebirth” through politics:

It is a beautiful Sunday morning and millions of Americans are worshipping the God of the Bible. On Tuesday those same citizens with millions of other freedom loving Americans will vote and begin America’s rebirth! #GodBlessAmerica #America #USA #Elections2022 #RedWave

Ralph Reed just retweeted the Ron DeSantis “fighter for God” political ad:

Defending Stephen Wolfe’s The Case for Christian Nationalism.

David Barton, Eric Metaxas, and others getting the faithful ready for the election. Barton says churches should get involved in poll-watching:

Evangelical prophets and the 2022 election.

Eric Metaxas in LaTrobe. He brings up one of his books at the 1:47 mark. That’s pretty good for Metaxas. Usually he brings up his books in the first 30 seconds. 🙂 He says that Pelosi and Biden are not Catholics and anyone who thinks they are Catholic is buying a “lie” from the “pit of hell.”

North Carolina Republicans are mobilizing pastors for tomorrow’s election.

Liberty University hosted a conference.

Tony Dungy:

On Nov 8 Michigan residents will be voting on Proposal 3. It is a subtle but direct attack on parental rights. We can’t forfeit our ability to parent our children. Donate today to @votenoprop3 #handsoffourkidsmi #MIProp3 https://t.co/aiv7fzSEyP pic.twitter.com/pj0pyHMNEF

I’m going to be out of the country on Election Day, so I voted today! pic.twitter.com/XxKh4OJtVh

Mark David Hall talks on Christian nationalism at the Family Research Council:

WARNING BIBLE-BELIEVING CHRISTIANS: The continued use of the vague term 'Christian nationalism' is a scare tactic to keep you from engaging in elections & the public policy process. It’s called suppression.

Southern Baptist Convention president Bart Barber talks to World magazine.

Lance being Lance:

Why is the BBC doing a hit job on Christian patriots, or nationalists? Has England forgotten its history with Wycliffe, Wolsey, Wesley, Whitefield and Wilberforce? And I bet I could find some other W’s to add to the forgotten Christians of the U.K. https://t.co/i1kvQhGwAR

Prestonwood Baptist Church deconstructs evangelical deconstructionism.

Pastors preaching politics.

A North Texas pastor says “big whoop” to the Johnson Amendment.

Apparently Dutch Sheets did not have a prophetic word about this Jefferson quote because Jefferson never said it or wrote it:

Our Founders got it. https://t.co/wxovTLzKEz

More drama about Saddleback Church and “pastors” in the Southern Baptist Convention.

Charlie Kirk is giving marching orders.

Trump court journalist David Brody makes his prediction:

How I see the House
0-20 seats: A Red Ripple
20-35 seats: A Red Wave
35-50 seats: A Red Tsunami
50 + seats: A ROYAL COVFEFE #Midterms2022

— David Brody (@DBrodyReports) November 6, 2022

A divine sign? :-):

They were singing the national anthem at Trump’s rally in PA. American flags were falling over at Fetterman’s rally in PA. That’s it. That’s the tweet. Have a great day. pic.twitter.com/7LwKEONS7V

Jack Hibbs at his church urging his followers to vote:

Jack Hibbs on the “age of Noah”:

Robert Jeffress promotes an interview with David Green, founder of Hobby Lobby:

Jeffress is still doing battle over the Johnson Amendment. Trump couldn’t get it done for him:

The Johnson Amendment needs to be repealed, it’s selectively enforced. What is prohibited in conservative churches has been allowed for years in Democrat-leaning churches. https://t.co/XjMyhZPSVg

    Dr. Fea, in a different post, didn’t you indicate that you’re sympathetic with Dr. Al Mohler’s position on what’s going on at Calvin University?

    I don’t think I’ve ever come down one way or another on the issue. And I was just reporting on Mohler’s position.
