Lots of @BethMooreLPM honesty here: “I wasn’t surprised one iota by Trump. He was exactly who I thought. I felt like it was going to go down ugly for women. I was floored by my own corner of the evangelical world.”

This Christian thanks you, Beth! pic.twitter.com/5e2qR4Af8o

Evangelicals in Iowa and Tim Scott’s “new American sunrise.”

Evangelical environmentalists respond to East Palestine.

Sean wants to uncover the “wildness” of Jesus:

Boredom is killing the American church.

Nothing about following Jesus is boring or safe.

Yet we’ve eliminated risk, adventure and the danger of the gospel. “Safety” has become an idol that has sanitized & neutered our faith.

Time to recover the wildness of Jesus.

Sean loves staged productions:

We traveled 12,000 miles across the world to remind 1300 orphans we’ve rescued across 70 villages that WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THEM and neither has GOD.

You can remind them today but sponsoring one of 175 beautiful kids on our waiting list here: https://t.co/gSM9Zgd0Zy pic.twitter.com/MWSytv8tiZ

Is J.K. Rowling a model for evangelicals?

Christian nationalists are heading to Idaho.

Huck on Paul Ryan:

This probably seals the deal for @realDonaldTrump to get nomination & second term. Guys like Ryan expected us to support him despite concerns that he was a globalist who didn’t give squat about working class but he curls in fetal position if GOP voters pick @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/NLO5h1goYv

Coincidence?:

It can’t be a coincidence that Jesus Revolution release is following the Asbury Revival. My personal friend Greg Laurie wrote a book that has turned into an incredible movie. Go see this movie in theaters and together we can go change the world!#JesusRevolutionMovie pic.twitter.com/xshgHSr4rf

Julie Roys on the Cedarville University revival.

Jack Hibbs is still upset about his removal from YouTube:

URGENT – We are under attack on YouTube. YouTube has removed the Real Life with Jack Hibbs channel. We are working to resolve this matter with YouTube, but candidly, they have not helped work toward a solution.

A queer student at Trinity Western University, a Christian university in western Canada, speaks. More on Trinity Western here.

Robert Jeffress on the Asbury Revival. I find it interesting that the Fox News host describes Thomas Lyons, a professor at Northern Seminary with a Ph.D in biblical studies from Asbury Theological Seminary, as a member of the “far left.”

True revival occurs when people hear the Word of God and are empowered by the Spirit of God to do the Will of God. Watch more: pic.twitter.com/XfJer95odt

Tony Perkins on the Asbury Revival:

Amazing testimonies were shared during the @CollegiateDOP simulcast at Asbury University on Thursday night.

Al Mohler on the “He Gets Us” campaign: “There is no way that someone would become a Christian in biblical terms by looking at what was conveyed through these advertisements…” 

From the megachurch pastor who just prayed at Nikki Haley’s presidential candidacy announcement:

If a nation, a church, or a believer is to have the blessing of God, then there must be separation from the world.

Jemar asks people to question the validity of a white person having a black friend:

Whenever you say "one of my best friends is Black" are you sure that's what your alleged Black friend would say about you? Sometimes these "friends" are utilitarian acquaintanceships white people over-emphasize in an attempt to appear non-racist.

    Is there any way we can limit the appearances by CINO’s like Jenna Ellis and William Wolfe? Their foundation is solid partisan political over biblical, and reading stuff about them is hardly a blessing or an encouragement. Al Mohler and Franklin Graham have their moments; folks like Ellis and Wolfe are seeking to hear “Well done, thou good and faithful servant” from Fox News and Newsmax. Maybe once a week, CINO Corner?

    I think Evangelical Roundups are “the good, the bad and the ugly.”

    I think there’s more nuance in that Tisby tweet. “Best friend” is different than “friend.” I read that and see him saying that a person who is white may add “best” to a friendship, at least in some situations, where their friend may not reciprocate with the same modifier. My own experience validates this; I’ve seen it done when I knew the relationship was not as described.
