Evangelical roundup for November 10, 2022: Midterm election edition

John Fea   |  November 10, 2022

How is Evangelical land responding to the 2022 Midterm Elections?

88% of Georgia evangelicals voted for Herschel Walker.

81% of Wisconsin evangelicals voted for Ron Johnson.

Jim Wallis working as a polling chaplain:

Grateful for this coverage from the Washington Post of the critical work of #FaithsUnitedtoSaveDemocracy, which @Sojourners co-founded. https://t.co/aT3zLLbP0X

Christianity Today: “Republicans Win on Inflation but Lose on Abortion”

Blast from the past:

Christian nationalism is still very much alive in the GOP.

Weed, student loans, lockdowns, and casinos:

Gen Z overwhelming (D+28) voted for:

– Abortion on demand
– Mutilation of children’s bodies
– Weed
– LGTBQ+
– Student loan forgiveness
– Lockdowns crushing society
– Open borders
– Casinos/Strip Clubs essential over the Church

The left hijacked their minds. We need REVIVAL

Franklin:

Our country can’t turn its back on God and expect His hand of blessing to continue. We need His help, protection, and favor. Whether or not you agree with the candidates who just won, we are to pray for them. The only hope for America is God.

— Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) November 9, 2022

Some pro-lifers are not happy with what happened in this election.

Robert Luna was elected Los Angeles County sheriff. The shofars blew.

Jack Graham congratulates Sarah Huckabee Sanders:

Congratulations @SarahHuckabee you will be a great governor of Arkansas. https://t.co/jynMA7sVws

From James Dobson’s Facebook page:

Still Counting… The Dr. James Dobson Family Institute is following the election results very carefully. While we are non-partisan, we know that elected officials at all levels of government have tremendous power and can impact our parental rights, religious liberty, the sanctity of life, marriage, family and much more. While votes are still being counted, as of now (Wednesday, November 9), it appears when all the races are decided, the House of Representatives will go from a slim Democrat majority to an equally slim Republican majority. The United States Senate still has three races where a winner has not been determined. One of those races, in Georgia, is headed for a run-off on December 6. It is thus possible we won’t know who has a slim majority in the full Senate until then. We want to thank each one of you who took the time to vote and exercise your responsibilities as a Christian citizen. We want to particularly thank pastors who led your congregations on important Bible-based issues being debated in the political process. America needs Christian citizens to step forward if we are going to solve the pressing problems facing our country.

Lance Wallnau offers a “prophetic word”:

And let’s not forget the “blood moon”:

Trump’s Truth Social claims the former president was prophesied in the Bible. Adam Kinzinger hits back.

Jenna Ellis, in obvious pain after her guy Doug Mastriano got trounced, stirs the election fraud pot:

Pennsylvania voted for a dead guy, a stroke victim, and dude who sues nuns. 🤦🏼‍♀️ https://t.co/wyzV9SZtIw

— Jenna Ellis (@JennaEllisEsq) November 9, 2022

She’s also worried about a shift in the GOP:

Key takeaway from tonight: I’m concerned that everyone will run back into the arms of the establishment GOP.

That’s what they want, but regardless of the autopsy of this election, that is not the correct diagnosis for moving forward.

— Jenna Ellis (@JennaEllisEsq) November 9, 2022

Trump evangelical court journalist has it all figured out:

I’ve been having a hard time figuring out why so many people voted for politicians who are OK with lockdowns, mandates, tyranny & immoral filth peddled to school kids. Then I realized the answer is simple: we allow the ungodly to rule because America is spiritually broken.

Eric Metaxas complains about the voting procedure in New York and pokes fun at an election official wearing a mask:

What happened last night was a sign of the end times. Tony Perkins talks to a pastor with a Washington praying at Valley Forge picture behind him.

"We have to be still fighting that good fight of the faith."

Pastor Gary Hamrick of @CornerstoneChpl on how Christians should respond to yesterday's elections.

— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) November 9, 2022

More from Perkins:

So, what do we do?
We pray for our nation. We vote for biblical values in every election. And we stand for truth, no matter what!

— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) November 9, 2022

Huckabee:

There were two races yesterday in which dead Democrats won. I didn't know dead Democrats could hold office, I thought they just voted.

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

Huck loves his daughter:

Was a pretty special night! @SarahHuckabee wins in landslide. Historic night electing 1st woman Gov of AR & 1st ever father/daughter to hold the office. W/ @LeslieRutledge as LtGov, 1st time in US that both Gov and LtGov are women. https://t.co/AP2DTlFEQQ

One man’s view of the “red wave”:

Tragically, the red wave was the blood of innocent babies in many states.

— Tom Buck (Five Point Buck) (@TomBuck) November 9, 2022

And this:

Roe v Wade allowed many fake pro-life Christians to hide what they really believed. Those days are over!

— Tom Buck (Five Point Buck) (@TomBuck) November 9, 2022

And this:

Voted a straight pro-life ticket again this year, as I do every year.

Why? Because murdering your citizenry doesn’t seem to be that conducive to Democracy. pic.twitter.com/8KNXrwcW18

    I’m intrigued by the blowing of shofars at the victory party for Robert Luna for Sheriff of Los Angeles County. I would have thought that the evangelical vote was for his “law and order” opponent, our current Sheriff.

    Blood moon predictions have never panned out. It is reverse engineering. What happened at past blood moons? And, why is it that when predictions don’t happen that the “prophet” isn’t shamed into silence? I’m looking at you Hal Lindsey.
