Evangelical roundup for January 12, 2023

John Fea   |  January 12, 2023

What is happening in Evangelical land?

Jack Hayford, RIP.

Do young evangelicals listen to their pastors?

Catholics and evangelicals together?

Evangelicals in France oppose euthanasia.

Eric Metaxas makes Roger Stone’s “best-dressed” list:

Who will evangelicals vote for in the 2024 presidential race? More here.

Aren’t many of these migrants coming over in family units? If so, this response from the president of the Family Research Council is surprising:

"He's had 2 years [to address this crisis] and he's done nothing other than put his head in the sand. There's been 5 million people that have crossed this border illegally."@RepPatFallon on Biden Administration's mismanagement of the border crisis.https://t.co/9eBvLjUGmL pic.twitter.com/sPY6Tk0bBT

Shane Claiborne will receive a King Center’s 2023 “Beloved Community Award”.

Tim Keller on living with cancer.

A fair point?

With Eric Metaxas prophesying celebrity gossip, Anthony Bradley spinning wild medical conspiracy theories, and Denny Burk editing egalitarian quotes to serve his ideological sexism – I wonder – has the anti-intellectualism of American evangelicalism passed the point of no return?

Brazilian evangelicals condemn the attack on Brazil’s capitol.

European evangelicals pray.

Prayer for the McCarthy-MAGA-GOP House agenda:

"We have a prayer caucus in the House… at the beginning of each week after the first vote of the week, we gather to get on our knees to cry out to the Lord." There are a lot of committed, solid believers that serve in Congress. @repmikejohnson @tperkinshttps://t.co/y19Si2NePd pic.twitter.com/lablazlm1s

Gary Bauer spins last week’s McCarthy-speakership debacle:

Dems in House this week have gotten a good lesson from Republicans on how a Constitutional Republic works. Open debate. Free speech. Voting your conscience. It must have shocked them. #SpeakerVote #McCarthy #electionresults2022

— Gary L Bauer (@GaryLBauer) January 6, 2023

Christian nationalism comes to Montana.

Charlie Dates replaces James Meeks as pastor of Salem Baptist Church of Chicago.

Beth Moore on hateful people:

Some of it, I think, is unshakable self-loathing. Relentlessly hateful people invariably hate themselves. We’ve been so deeply graced by God through the cross. Those who’ve let it sink to their marrow still believe in, preach and teach repentance of sin but dripping with grace.

Blast from the past:

Pedophilia at a Christian camp.

Evangelical congressman Mike Johnson is ready to govern:

My @HouseGOP resolution on the floor today is simple and important.

Congress must condemn the recent attacks on pro-life facilities, groups, and churches following the Dobbs decision. pic.twitter.com/brCe2l7JJE

Christian nationalism in Brazil.

Moscow, Idaho pastor Doug Wilson believes Kirk Cameron was cancelled.

Charlie Kirk and Matt Gaetz on getting to the truth about January 6th:

An evangelical writer who wants to “legislate morality“

One way of approaching transgenderism:

Christianity Today says the Babylon Bee "has run a number of anti-trans jokes—mocking both particular transgender people like Levine as well as fictional trans people."

Our jokes are not anti-trans. They're pro-truth. The idea that men can become women is false (and funny).

Andrew Tate: masculine evangelical.

Is opposing gay marriage a “lost cause”?

On her first day in office as governor of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders bans critical race theory in public schools.

“Eradicated”?: Apparently the Standing for Freedom Center does not believe in intellectual freedom:

This is how we win. CRT must be eradicated from every place it rears its ugly head. https://t.co/yLNNqTMHDm

— Standing for Freedom Center (@freedomcenterlu) January 9, 2023

Gaslighting?:

Hang on, we'll fix it for you: "Children struggling with obesity should be given healthier diets and made to exercise."

Don't let the so-called experts gaslight you. It does not take a medical degree to know this is awful health guidance. https://t.co/PT5eKFxYDI

David Barton is holding a teacher’s conference:

Join us this summer! This two-and-a-half-day conference is designed to equip public and private school teachers with principles and techniques that were used in classrooms for decades in early America. https://t.co/rhLTJODoYh #Wallbuilders #history #Teachers pic.twitter.com/lWsYPqW64x

ABC News has apparently insulted Jack Hibbs’s intelligence:

I’ve been insulted, assaulted, and canceled- but this attack on my intellect is just too much. Anyone believing this headline is the real threat to climate change for being uneducated. pic.twitter.com/EdZvrxGkq4

— Jack Hibbs (@RealJackHibbs) January 11, 2023

Baker Books continues to publish court evangelical Robert Jeffress:

So why should you read this book about Christian theology? This book establishes firm Biblical foundations so you can: talk with unbelievers, move past cliches, respond to false teachings, and build an authentic faith.

Mark Gastineau?:

Tonight | 8 PM ET

Prayer united the nation last week when NFL player Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field.

In tonight’s broadcast, @tperkins @carterconlon @repmikejohnson Joe Kennedy, and Mark Gastineau highlight the power of prayer.

Albert Mohler tries to marshal the American Revolution to suit his conservative agenda.

Denny Burk clears things up:

Analogy and identity are not the same thing.

God 𝘪𝘴 a Father (identity). While he may comfort 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 a mother (analogy), he 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 himself a mother (identity). https://t.co/noM9NejG9k

A ministry that sends students to Israel reaches a milestone.
