Evangelical roundup for December 5, 2022

John Fea   |  December 5, 2022

What is happening in Evangelical Land?

Prestonwood Baptist Church in the Dallas-area faces criticism for its Christmas show.

Communion at megachurches.

Jim Wallis on poverty:

We have a generational opportunity to alleviate the scourge of child poverty in this country. The child tax credit lifted millions of families above the poverty line, decreased food insecurity by nearly a third and cut child poverty by 40% https://t.co/FUzIF4f4HU

— Jim Wallis (@jimwallis) December 2, 2022

And this:

When Jesus began his ministry, he did so with a simple but profound message: bringing good news to the poor. This Advent, the expansion of the child tax credit would be welcome news for millions of American families. My new column for @RNS https://t.co/FUzIF4xdW2

Megachurch pastor Matt Chandler is back.

Tim Keller on sex:

Moderns draw the line at non-consensual sex. They are stricter than the ancient Romans who did not. Christians draw–and the ancient world drew– the lines elsewhere. But the point is–that no one believes all sex is positive, to be celebrated. Everyone says some sex is immoral.

The National Association of Evangelicals keeps fighting for the dignity of migrants:

"A judge’s order this past week halting the use of Title 42 to expel migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border is a warning sign that we are going to see new challenges at our already-strained border," says @WorldRelief's @MatthewSoerens. https://t.co/Hzt1wPpsyK

Blast from the past:

A conservative evangelical writer on the “seduction of the Christian Left.”

Should churches pay for graphics cards?

One megachurch controls a majority of seats in a California town.

This writer from Liberty University’s Standing for Freedom Center thinks some evangelicals have replaced the apostle Paul with David French.

The Liberty University Standing for Freedom Center is also defending Hallmark Christmas Movie queen Candace Cameron Bure.

Also this. Notice how this view assumes that all Americans must follow the Bible. If I’m not mistaken, this is Christian nationalism:

BREAKING: The Bible is still the inspired and inerrant Word of God. It says the government rests on Christ’s shoulders & His definition of marriage is a covenantal union between one man and one woman for life!

TL;DR: God defines marriage, not the government.

The Standing for Freedom Center is “all in” on Twitter:

Anybody who thought Twitter wasn’t important, notice how tyrants around the world are reacting to the fact that their people can openly dialogue, share info, & criticize policies & ideas on Twitter.

Free speech is the greatest threat to tyrants & globalist regimes. https://t.co/2BvgmySzbP

“Big tech” and “big media” is now an issue for Ralph Reed’s Faith & Freedom Coalition:

“We’re going to get the facts out there …That’s the first step. You have to expose it if you are going to stop it. We’re committed to doing that.” – Rep. Jim Jordan
Grateful there are still leaders that want to hold them accountable! https://t.co/lrpwJCFxxc

The Faith and Freedom Coalition, an evangelical Christian organization, also recently retweeted this:

Trump court journalist David Brody on Kanye:

HEAR YE, HEAR YE. Kanye, you rant against “the zionists” but they believe in the biblical promise (Gen 12 and 15) where God makes a covenant with Abraham promising him that his descendants would inherit Zion, the land of Israel. So you’re at odds with God. Sorry to tell ya.

This should be interesting:

GET READY for another transformative Sunday at New Season Sacramento! Pastor Sam is going to explain the birthing process of Mary, Elizabeth, John the Baptist and Jesus. It’s the next powerful message in the Birthing Miracles series. Let’s go change the world!

Hey Jim Garlow, why don’t you tell us what you really think about Raphael Warnock?:

Metaxas offers his views on the Respect for Marriage Act. Hint: It’s pure “evil”:

I’ve been following Ralph Reed for a long time. He is a pure politico. He rarely tweets in ways that don’t advance his political agenda. He recently retweeted this Paula White tweet:

God will restore everything the enemy stole from you in His time- in His way! pic.twitter.com/acB2Rm0IaB

Tony Perkins and Al Mohler on Amy Coney Barrett and 303 Creative v. Elemis:

Why are some calling for Justice Amy Coney Barrett to recuse herself from Monday's arguments in 303 Creative v. Elenis? Because Justice Barrett is a Christian.

As @albertmohler and I discussed, if you adhere to biblical teachings, the Left is "coming for you." pic.twitter.com/dlmablVHyU

— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) December 3, 2022

Perkins wants these House Republicans to change their vote on the Respect for Marriage Act:

Will these 47 House Republicans change their vote this time around?

Urge them to prioritize children and protect religious freedom. Oppose the (Dis)Respect for Marriage Act. pic.twitter.com/PLXIMWl4Cd

— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) December 1, 2022

Conservative evangelicals interpret Johnny Cash’s faith.
