Evangelical roundup for November 28, 2022

John Fea   |  November 28, 2022

What is happening in Evangelical Land?

Will the Christian Right approach to abortion rights hurt the pro-life movement in the future?

The National Association of Evangelicals on climate change.

Has David French left “orthodox Protestantism”?

Does the Museum of the Bible present a “white evangelical Bible?”

Caleb Cambell: An evangelical pastor fighting back against Christian nationalism.

Mark Tooley on the David French-Albert Mohler debate over the Respect for Marriage Act.

Bible apps as printing presses

Tim Keller on Martin Luther on idolatry:

Turning good things into ultimate things–idolatry–violates the First Commandment. Luther rightly believed that this is the fundamental sin–you don't really break the other commandments unless you break this one. See his Large Catechism.

— Timothy Keller (1950-2023) (@timkellernyc) November 28, 2022

Was Jesus an American nationalist?

Evangelicals and LGBTQ debates in Italy

Justin Giboney offers signs that politics have become your religion:

Has politics become your religion? Signs your political affiliation is religious in nature:

-You’re led by politicians and commentators more than pastors

-Your values match your party’s platform

-You vs. your opponents = good vs. evil

-An election victory feels like a revival

It looks like evangelicals in Colorado Springs are getting heat for the recent shooting in an LGBTQ club. Focus on the Family headquarters is vandalized:

“Loving the Least of These“

LGBTQ skateboarders in Winnipeg

A blast from the past:

An anti-lockdown Canadian megachurch pastor dies at 59.

Jenna Ellis is pretty sure the people shot at the LGBTQ nightclub are in hell:

The Standing for Freedom Center at Liberty University on “groomers”:

How to not be a groomer:

1. Don't talk to children about sex.

2. Don't expose children to sexual degeneracy through literature, imagery, or pornographic performances.

3. Don't encourage children to be accepting of sexual conversations & behaviors.

It's not that difficult.

The Standing for Freedom Center at Liberty is also pro-Elon Musk:

Vote YES! This would be a major win for free speech online and would bring back dozens, if not hundreds, of conservatives who were wrongfully suspended for sharing opinions leftists deemed illegitimate. https://t.co/zjsRkP37Xl

Ralph Reed’s Christian Right organization “Faith & Freedom Coalition” continues its crusade on gas prices. I guess high gas prices are now part of the Christian Right agenda:

Thanks to Biden and his administration, Americans can hardly afford gas. The president's solution? Telling those same Americans to purchase EVs.https://t.co/8rGeoNlwHv

Lance on the anti-Trump “mind virus”:

Trump hasn’t agreed to return but Sam Harris quits Twitter? Harris proves my argument that smart people are particularly vulnerable to some sort of mind virus where Trump is concerned. I saw it also with Covid. Linked to Mass Formation Psychosis?https://t.co/I06Rg6mzbQ

— Lance Wallnau (@lancewallnau) November 27, 2022

Does Lance have some prophetic insight into the goings-on at the World Cup?”

U.S. no knee v. U.K. plus knee.

In the end they cancelled each other out.

Zero to Zero. Tie.

Should have seen it comin’. https://t.co/3glrgXQpiy

There is a lot of overlap between the Trump court evangelicals and this group:

Sec of State Mike Pompeo & Dennis Prager, & others, will be speaking on the Tuesday night online CELEBRATION OF THE 75th ANNIVERSARY (November 29, 1947) OF THE UNITED NATIONS VOTE TO ESTABLISH THE MODERN STATE OF ISRAEL. Free online event. Register here: https://t.co/U6xF5B33B0 pic.twitter.com/MqGeeguvGd

Jack Graham on the Respect for Marriage Act:

The Respect for Marriage Act is just a smokescreen. It brings protections to same-sex marriage but makes the majority of Americans—individuals, institutions, churches, and organizations—who believe in marriage between a man and a woman vulnerable to legal attack.

— Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) November 26, 2022

It’s not a culture war, it’s a theological war:

Correct… it is a war of worldviews. Secular and Biblical. Who God is and what man is and the nature of Truth. https://t.co/R01OJT93Zv

— Jack Graham (@jackngraham) November 25, 2022

Franklin Graham on the Respect for Marriage Act:

12 Rep. senators voted for the deceptively-named Respect for Marriage Act: Roy Blunt—MO; Richard Burr—NC; Shelley Capito—WV; Susan Collins—ME; Cynthia Lummis—WY; Rob Portman—OH; Mitt Romney—UT; Dan Sullivan—AK; Thom Tillis—NC; Joni Ernst—IA; Lisa Murkowski—AK; Todd Young—IN.

Do we need a revival of Neo-Calvinism?
