What is happening in Evangelical Land?

Evangelicals around the world are praying for Ukraine.

Evangelicals and rumspringa.

Russian evangelicals and the war in Ukraine.

Why Tim Keller avoids the culture wars.

How should evangelicals engage Haiti?

The Asbury Revival and the need to connect.

The president of the National Association of Evangelicals on the Asbury Revival:

An evangelical church in Washington state raises $8,000 for those in need of food and shelter.

Changes at InterVarsity Press.

The closing of Trinity College in Deerfield, IL also comes with the closing of a Wisconsin Christian camp.

Justin Giboney:

Conservatism is the perfect ideology if you pretend America’s past was nearly flawless and the country is better unchanged.

Progressivism is the perfect ideology if you pretend self-indulgence has no consequences and every individual determines what is true.

Faith > Ideology

An update on the Asbury Revival.

Phil Vischer of Veggie Tales fame on immigration:

In a country built by waves of immigrants, it amazes me how resistant we are to welcoming additional waves of immigrants.

"Okay, I guess the Italians can come. But that's it! No more!"

— Phil Vischer (@philvischer) March 1, 2023

Saddleback Church just got ousted from the Southern Baptist Convention. Saddleback is not backing down.

Revival as news.

Steven Curtis Chapman‘s 50th #1 song.

Blast from the past:

New Apostolic Reformation leader and Charisma magazine editor Steven Strang may support Ron DeSantis in 2024.

Some evangelicals do not like women leading worship.

Apparently Rick Warren, Ed Stetzer, Francis Collins, and Russell Moore lied to us about COVID.

The president of the Southern Baptist Convention:

I want to make a defense of my complementarianism for a couple of reasons. First, there are some defenses of complementarianism that I cannot join. They are misogynistic and boorish.

— Bart Barber (@bartbarber) February 28, 2023

What to expect at CPAC this weekend.

Rick Scarborough wants to “take America over for Jesus” by removing books from schools:

Tony Dungy and James “JB” Brown pull out of a speaking engagement at Andrew Wommack’s Seven Mountain Dominion Charis Bible College. More here.

USA Today readers vote the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum as the best religious museums in America.

A Christian school in Vermont will not play girls basketball against a team with a transgender player.

Hey evangelical Christians, you can make the big bucks:

Why Intercessors Often Struggle to Obtain Wealth#Wisdom #Wealth #Intercession

Do you want to achieve financial abundance, but feel like you're constantly coming up short? You might be lacking in the wisdom department. As an intercessor, I used to believe https://t.co/lXdqflzSyh… https://t.co/a62xxiasBB pic.twitter.com/8v3nFYfcAv

Lance regrets sending his kids to college:

This was my biggest parenting regret!#Marxism #America #Indoctrination

It's tough being a parent in today's world, especially when it comes to higher education. I felt the pressure of an educated household, but now I see the indoctrination that my https://t.co/lXdqflzSyh… https://t.co/Xbu5lqdCKZ pic.twitter.com/KKVsYuS5SZ

Jenna Ellis on something called the “Christian manosphere”:

There are two extremes and equally unbiblical positions in the evangelical tent today:

1. The Christian manosphere that pushes a gynocracy and has no respect for biblical co-inheritors. The manosphere is full of toxic, abusive, petty tyrant babies

2. The Christian feminist… https://t.co/uJtMF7swjD

— Jenna Ellis 🇺🇸 (@JennaEllisEsq) March 1, 2023

I think this is what she means by the “manosphere”:

There is zero biblical support for this wildly bad take. Scripture says women cannot be office holders in the ecclesia (pastors and elders.) But for men disposed to be petty tyrants over women, this sort of proof-texting is how they justify their sin.

Sorry men, I won’t be… https://t.co/gBYKDRPO8T pic.twitter.com/uLrNC9oTYL

— Jenna Ellis 🇺🇸 (@JennaEllisEsq) March 1, 2023

I’m going to need to take a little more time figuring out what is going on here:

Nope. Entirely classical Christian theology. Sorry not sorry. Self-love is the necessary precondition of other loves (like self-preservation for national defense). @PerfInjust outlines this well in his book as does Jean Porter in her book on Thomist natural law. https://t.co/hYjV74tIJ7

— Timon Cline (@tlloydcline) March 1, 2023

More evangelicals behaving badly.

Televangelist Joyce Meyer gets a tattoo.

Voting as a David v. Goliath–in this case the issue is climate change:

NEVER LET A CHRISTIAN TELL YOU VOTING DOESN’T MATTER AND THAT “POLITICS IS EVIL”

It IS evil, which is why we must run to the battle like David did with Goliath.

VOTING is biblical stewardship.

House votes to kill Biden’s ‘woke’ ESG investment rule that https://t.co/s7N3NkKSuQ… https://t.co/D9kSamsLnO

Pastor Jack is also keeping tabs on Stacy Abrams:

Stacey Abrams is in Nigeria to observe the country’s election. What do you suppose the reason for that is?

— Jack Hibbs (@RealJackHibbs) February 28, 2023

Worship leader Sean Feucht is getting on the revival bandwagon.

The Standing for Freedom Center at Liberty University wants “the truth”:

The virus came from a Wuhan Lab.

The W.H.O. lied.

The CDC lied.

The “Experts” lied.

The American people deserve the truth.

— Standing for Freedom Center (@freedomcenterlu) February 27, 2023

Comparing slavery to abortion:

If one is honest, it isn’t hard to see the blatant similarities between two extremely significant human rights violations that result in death, suffering, and oppression. https://t.co/VJ9jMwfhiw

— Standing for Freedom Center (@freedomcenterlu) February 27, 2023

Defunding the World Health Organization is now part of the agenda of the Family Research Council:

Take action! Urge your members of Congress to stop subsidizing the World Health Organization’s massive overreach.

It's time to defund WHO. Email your elected officials. 🔽 https://t.co/sO1mCjjdkL pic.twitter.com/lxetGHKH5Q

— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) March 2, 2023

Apparently Jack Graham’s podcast is also part of the revival:

Tonight I’ll be on @CenterpointTBN with @marc_lotter at 7:30pm/ET
We will be discussing the Revival that’s happening across our nation and the Bible in a Year podcast as it reaches 13m downloads. pic.twitter.com/JJBJBFueUh

— Jack Graham (@jackngraham) March 1, 2023

Greg Laurie is the inspiration behind The Jesus Revolution. (Stay tuned, I’ll be reviewing this movie tomorrow at Current):

.@greglaurie told Fox & Friends Weekend, "I’m hearing stories of people actually coming into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ after watching @JesusRevMovie." @ErwinBros https://t.co/tm145Qejo3

— Ed Stetzer (@edstetzer) February 28, 2023

The Christian Right is not happy with Preston Sprinkle:

And remember who endorses Preston Sprinkle’s Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender:
Francis Chan, Matt Chandler, Karen Swallow Prior …https://t.co/CqP2BkjQdI https://t.co/r6aFc0S9cT

— Janet Mefferd (@Janet_Mefferd) February 28, 2023

Tom Buck is not a fan of “gay Christian”:

I don't remember where I first heard this statement, but it emphasizes the necessity for a preacher to have a clear understanding in his own mind of what a biblical text means for his preaching to be clear in the minds of his congregants.

A mist in the pulpit is a fog in the pew
