Evangelical roundup for January 9, 2023

John Fea   |  January 9, 2023

What is happening in Evangelical land?

Evangelical publishing in Romania.

Evangelism on CNN.

Evangelicals prefer praying over Bible reading.

The highest paid ministry executives include J.C. Watts, Hal Lindsey, Matthew Crouch, Franklin Graham, Charles Stanley, Gordon Robertson, Kelly Shackelford, Michael Farris, David Jeremiah, Tim Keller, and Pat Robertson.

Evangelicals and NFL culture.

Jemar Tisby prays against Christian nationalism on January 6th:

It was singularly appropriate to begin the new year and to commemorate the anniversary of the January 6th insurrection by joining with other faith leaders to pray for democracy and against white Christian nationalism at the Capitol this morning. #Insurrection

53% of white evangelicals attended church regularly in 2022.

The Confessing Movement in the United Methodist Church is closing down.

Is this a reference to the Old Testament or Kevin McCarthy?:

Walter Kim and Skye Jethani:

Walter Kim, pres of @NAEvangelicals, explains how evangelicals have focused on the personal aspects of the gospel but neglected its public dimensions. From this week's @HolyPostPodcast. Listen to/watch the full episode here: https://t.co/07pYObixTa pic.twitter.com/lHc0HBhAOR

Blast from the past:

Al Mohler on Benedict XIV. He also takes a shot at Francis I, as he is prone to do.

More on Paula White and Journey (the rock band).

More on the “demonic portal” over the White House:

Mark Driscoll has a new book coming out. It’s on sex.

Interesting conversation on “critique”:

1. There *is* already better content out there.

2. Critiquing is obviously not all of formation but it is still vital to help initiate all formation.

3. Men – let’s stop making excuses for the bad, misogynistic decisions of other men. https://t.co/6FfYl78Dn1

Can a slaveholder be a Christian? Should every statue of a slaveholder be removed regardless of context or other contributions? This is about the recent debate over John Witherspoon. I weighed in here.

Basically I really don’t like it when folks think “the whole story” about slaveowners makes them worthy of honor AND they come at my friends, @bethallisonbarr, @dukekwondc, @_wgthompson, et al.

Beth Allison Barr is getting her Martin Luther on. Here she stands. She seems to be tweeting about her own reaction to her book.

Today I read a book I can't wait to share. It broke my heart & relit a fire in my soul.

"Complementarianism is patriarchy & patriarchy is about power. Neither have ever been about Jesus." #MakingBiblicalWomanhood

Sean Feucht ran for Congress:

Don’t look to politicians to make your life better.

A Trump supporter:

We live in an information age, yet I believe we are one of the most uninformed generations in the history of humanity when it comes to the knowledge of the truth.

Tony Perkins is excited about the future:

The process to elect Kevin McCarthy hasn't been easy, but nothing worth pursuing is.
When the smoke clears & Republicans get to work, one thing will be obvious — the pain this week was trivial compared to what was gained: a chance to move forward, united. https://t.co/wnruixyw0Q

— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) January 7, 2023

The drawn-out process of selecting a speaker is one of the most promising events on Capitol Hill in awhile. Far from giving another Jan. 6 riot, as some on the Left claim, this prevents those events by allowing people to have a voice & not suppressing w/ pre-determined outcomes.

Trump court journalist David Brody on Lauren Boebert:

Here’s the truth: @laurenboebert is a bold patriot! https://t.co/VD8GA7MKoj

— David Brody (@DBrodyReports) January 8, 2023

And this from Brody:

McCarthy was NOT the winner tonight. The House Resistance Freedom Fighters won because through this ordeal they pushed & got (we hope) more transparency & accountability inside the Swamp. That’s a win for the American people, no matter your party affiliation or ideology.

— David Brody (@DBrodyReports) January 7, 2023

And this:

Agreed @JennaEllisEsq ! https://t.co/Q81fkiK2OH

— David Brody (@DBrodyReports) January 7, 2023

Apparently Jenna doesn’t understand the difference between a corporation (the NFL) and a public school:

Coach Kennedy deserves a massive apology. https://t.co/k4gYWKdEzC
