Evangelical roundup for November 21, 2022

John Fea   |  November 21, 2022

What is happening in Evangelical land?

Mike Huckabee is fired-up about global poverty CBS:

Poor crybabies at CBS might be triggered by a view not fitting their leftist advocacy. Get ‘em a popsicle, pony ride, & puppy to pet! Good riddance if they hate free speech. Don’t let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you CBS! https://t.co/cBgeiXFmrN

American evangelicals and the antiabortion movement in Israel.

Evangelicals respond to the possible end of Twitter.

Did Trump “use” evangelicals?

Election denier David Brody is starting to make some sense. It seems that Brody still hasn’t figured out how to balance his old self as a journalist with his new self as a MAGA propogandist:

Republican Lauren Boebert was losing on election night when we went to sleep and now, more than a week later, she won. If Boebert was a democrat, the election shenanigan crowd would be up in arms. But not now. 🤔

Bono’s influence on evangelicals and social justice.

Christian nationalism in the Ozarks.

Interesting. Gerson opposed everything Ralph Reed believes concerning politics. But I imagine they were once allies back in the old George W. Bush days when Reed ran part of Bush’s presidential campaign in the South:

RIP, Mike Gerson. My heart is broken today because I’ve lost a friend & we have all lost an eloquent voice for faith, civility, and the common good. Mike was a good soul who was one of the most gifted writers of his generation. God bless his memory and his precious family.

Thinking about Marvin Olasky’s thoughts on Trump in 2016 as we look to 2024.

A Catholic school in Baltimore expels a Pentecostal student because she did not want to have her class ring blessed.

RIP:

It’s hitting me today that both of them, Mike Cromartie and Mike Gerson, are gone. They were two of the smartest, most effective, and most gracious Christian men I’ve ever known. pic.twitter.com/OCoKDHwLcQ

Study: Evangelical pastors are more loyal to their party than their faith.

Conversions and Youth for Christ.

Bird also found Karen Swallow Prior:

Jeopardy! and the author of the book of Hebrews.

Ed Stetzer at John Stott’s former church:

Blast from the past:

An evangelical megachurch pastor can’t stay away from prostitutes.

A court evangelical turns on Trump.

Evangelicals going after abortion drugs.

The turn towards Hunter’s laptop is underway:

A former Liberty University Dean sues the school for “disturbing violations’ of law.”

Digitization is in the Bible:

The Bible tells us in Revelation Chapter 13 that there will come a time when a global economic system is digitized. All those who participate in a global economy need to do so with what we call a prefix, meaning a number that is the head of an account.https://t.co/5t7QpsBI2J

I think I now know why Michelle Tafoya left sideline reporting.

John Piper on the state of complementarian theology.

Getting together to celebrate Israel:

Jim Garlow warns against the globalists behind DeSantis:

Bob and Bibi:

Thanks for the clarification Dr. Jeffress:

My decision not to endorse any candidate during primaries should not be misread as any kind of defection from President Trump. I regard him as a great friend and our greatest president since Reagan.

— Dr. Robert Jeffress (@robertjeffress) November 18, 2022

McCarty strips Omar of her committee assignment and Ralph Reed cheers:

Promise made, promise kept. Given her anti-Semitic comment about “the Benjamins” and hostility towards the state of Israel, she should have never been on it in the first place. https://t.co/Z6la7kQb5s

— Ralph Reed (@ralphreed) November 20, 2022

Tony Perkins is spending most of his time fighting the Respect for Marriage Act:

Without the Lee Amendment, this measure will undermine religious freedom and the rights of parents to protect their children from indoctrination.@SenMikeLee @DailySignal https://t.co/xnklbgKRb3

— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) November 19, 2022

Kirk Cameron and Greg Laurie talk revival:

No Candace Cameron Bure this Christmas at Hallmark. Franklin Graham has her back.

According to the Gospel Coalition, the road to LGBTQ acceptance at Christian institutions runs through egalitarian views on gender, a disrespect for history, and minor compromises.

Franklin Graham turns to Al Mohler to help him critique the Respect for Marriage Act:

This bill sends a message that if you don’t agree with the left’s definition of marriage, you are a bigot. @AlbertMohler wrote, “Anyone who would redefine marriage, the most fundamental building block of society, is…no defender of family values.” https://t.co/LE03RaUjkV

More news in the Kanakuk Kamps scandal.

The end of Twitter brings Beth Moore to tears:

I mean like I cried last night us all saying bye and here we still are.

— Beth Moore (@BethMooreLPM) November 19, 2022

Theobro Denny Burk reports from the Evangelical Theological Society meeting in Denver.

Climate change denier Tom Buck:

I was in 5th grade when they were teaching us that scientists said we were going to enter an ice age. How many times will the “experts” be wrong until we weigh the evidence and think for ourselves? As long as we’re motivated by fear, they’ll keep controlling us. https://t.co/IKqKvHKmkY

Evangelical worship leader Sean Feucht welcomes Trump back to Twitter:

Welcome back @realDonaldTrump 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/gJbk0vvw39

— Sean Feucht (@seanfeucht) November 20, 2022

He also takes a shot of Christianity Today:

It’s is clear that @CTmagazine has lost its way in pushing woke, destructive and demonic ideology.

They must change their name. They are a total disgrace and an embarrassment. https://t.co/jHAs0GUQzn

— Sean Feucht (@seanfeucht) November 20, 2022

And congrats to Lauren!:

Congratulations to my friend @laurenboebert on your re-election. We were sure praying! 🙏🏽

Colorado (and America) is grateful to have you continuing to fight for freedom in the halls of Congress! 🇺🇸#HoldTheLine pic.twitter.com/7Ag2A2EKZu

    Thank you for the Power Team video. At that time in my life I was watching the real thing – WWF and living like a little Hulkamaniac. By the late 90s I was an evangelical youth pastor and I drove a van full of kids to a Power Team event. They had cut their hair by then and their show was not very high tech and much smaller – plenty of phone books were ripped in half that night!

    “Thank you for the Power Team video.” Now those are words I did not think I would hear about this roundup! 🙂

    Yes, thank you – not because I have a VHS collection of Power Team videos and posters and miss such gatherings, but a trip down memory lane brings to mind the friends and family from that period of time. The corny and crazy ways people try to spread the Gospel – we can critically assess them, but they happened and they were not a crime and maybe had me theologically uncomfortable, but still good to think about – for me a simpler time!
