John Fea   |  February 9, 2023 Leave a Comment

What is happening in Evangelical land?

The Kings College is having financial troubles.

The Anglican Church is divided over LGBTQ blessings.

Paul Putz on the “HeGetsUs” campaign.

Most evangelicals want to pass their beliefs along to their kids.

Yes:

Fitting that the PEPFAR program, successfully combating AIDS in Africa, is celebrated in a bipartisan way at a State of the Union on the very week of the memorial service for @MJGerson. Mike face so much of his life for that noble cause.

Lisa Sharon Harper on Biden’s State of the Union rope-a-dope:

Evangelicals fighting anti-Semitism.

Ed Stetzer on abortion pins:

This is heartbreaking at so many levels.

A tiny heart? Do they not even see the irony?

Pastors, I encourage you to speak up on issues of life. Help build a culture of life that changes hearts and minds.

Here's my latest on this from @FocusFamily: https://t.co/oZrROel2Ui https://t.co/A0oDgdi2xb

Venezuelan leader Maduro is courting evangelicals.

The Pennsylvania Bible Belt.

Best line I’ve seen so far on the State of the Union address:

ā€œDo not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written.ā€ pic.twitter.com/Sow0mOOxtW

— Daniel Bennett (@danielrbenn) February 8, 2023

The chairman of the board of the National Association of Evangelicals on Black History Month:

Pastor @johnkjenkins, chair of the NAE board, shares why Black History Month is important to him and so many others. #BlackHistoryMonthhttps://t.co/jehVL5Gl1F

Hobby Lobby is behind the #HeGetsUs Super Bowl ads. Apparently Sean Feucht has some problems with it:

Anytime we try to reduce Jesus down to become ā€œjust like usā€ or ā€œjust like our cultureā€ it can lead to the age old mistake of making God into our own image.

— Sean Feucht (@seanfeucht) February 8, 2023

The State of the Union Address seems to contradict this:

That’s cause it’s true https://t.co/sPdFNzadLn

Korean missionaries in Nepal.

Evangelical pastors who once identified as gay respond to Andy Stanley’s recent remarks about the LGBTQ community.

Is Joe Biden a demon?

It’s a threat, but is it the “greatest” threat?:

ā€œWhite Christian nationalism is the greatest threat to democracy and the witness of the church todayā€ –@JemarTisby @PRRIpoll pic.twitter.com/oas4bxkFxE

— Rachel Laser (@rachelklaser) February 8, 2023

Jemar already knows what he is looking for in the past as he writes his new book:

Indeed. The book I’m writing now focuses on individuals and communities of faith through U.S. history who objected to slavery and demonstrates that most decidedly *not* everyone was doing it. Directly refutes the sad ā€œpeople of their timeā€ excuses for slavery and racism. https://t.co/vFLNHfVsBB

— JemarTisby.Substack.com. (@JemarTisby) February 8, 2023

Apparently white evangelicals can’t interpret white evangelicalism because they are “too close to the problem”:

We need more folks who understand that maybe white evangelicals are not always the best ones to explain the current and historical crises of white evangelicalism. Sometimes you're too close to a problem to understand it. Ask the Black folks and other POC in their midst.

— JemarTisby.Substack.com. (@JemarTisby) February 7, 2023

The president of the Southern Baptist Convention prefers his own kind of history:

I'm the sort of historian who is not overly impressed by historians šŸ˜‰. Rather, I prefer to steward the tales of those who heroically clung to Jesus and preached the gospel in the face of much opposition.

— Bart Barber (@bartbarber) February 5, 2023

The attacks on Rick Warren’s successors continue:

Many of us warned @NAMB_SBC and the SBC about these folks for years. They helped train and send out many church planters with CP dollars. Ties should’ve been cut a long time ago! No surprise that compromising on women pastors leads to compromising here as well.@NateSchlomann https://t.co/BKKcG9wLdx

10 million Americans are listening to Jack Graham.

Al Mohler’s takeaway from the State of the Union:

So sad that the President of the United States would serve as the unapologetic champion of the Culture of Death. This one does. He is proudly and arrogantly the declared enemy of unborn human life.

— Albert Mohler (@albertmohler) February 8, 2023

James Robison on the Biden administration:

Our national leadership is not just RUNNING our country but RUINING our country and destroying the future of freedom and the blessings only freedom offers.

— James Robison (@revjamesrobison) February 6, 2023

James Dobson and friends celebrate Black History Month:

To celebrate Black History Month, let us honor Bishop Richard Allen. Soon after buying his own freedom from slavery, he founded the first fully independent denomination in the U.S., the African Methodist Episcopal Church, providing a safe place for black people to worship freely. pic.twitter.com/Fgx0qycBGO

Jack Graham found Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s rebuttal to Biden’s State of the Union to be hopeful:

Incredible message by my good friend @SarahHuckabee Filled with strength and hope for the future. https://t.co/umNmnLE7cV

— Jack Graham (@jackngraham) February 8, 2023

Tony Perkins on America’s “right track”:

As the prophet Jeremiah said to his nation, they stumbled because they chose a different path—not the proven path of God’s Word. In America we have also chosen a path contrary to God's Word—and we need to turn back.https://t.co/R79z2EiCEJ

— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) February 8, 2023

Tony Perkins’s response to Joe Biden’s call for labor organizing:

"I’m so sick and tired of companies breaking the law by preventing workers from organizing."

Many of us are tired of these companies pushing the Left's woke agenda. #SOTU

The Family Research Council has now added spy balloons to its ministry priorities:

"The idea that [China] would be floating spy balloons anywhere near the country and the Commander in Chief not be informed of it is pretty outrageous and rather frightening prospect."@RepMikeJohnson on what the Pentagon knew about previous spy balloons.https://t.co/9eBvLjU8xd pic.twitter.com/sXtMIfpLOm

— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) February 7, 2023

Jack Hibbs on the Grammys:

WARNING: graphic images

Seriously everyone, if you don’t think God is judging America right now, then you need to wake up.

You also need to get ready to meet Jesus, for He could come at any moment, as we see the prophesied days that He spoke of just before His coming judgment. https://t.co/GENSQDbR4p
