Oral Roberts, n.d.

What is happening in Evangelical land?

What is happening in evangelical higher education?

On the decline of Southern Baptist church membership.

The latest on The Kings College.

Russell Moore on evangelical congregations and Trump. Michael Wear liked it:

Again, I'm pretty much ride or die with @drmoore. He's been so solid, and what matters most is that his witness and principles in this moment are not a revision from the rest of his career, but an extension of it. https://t.co/pP3BO6eHQC

Kirk Cameron against the “nefarious forces…targeting children.” Franklin Graham is on board:

It was great to welcome Kirk Cameron to the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte today to read his children’s book “As You Grow” to kids and their families at two events. Then, hundreds of people lined up to meet Kirk and have him sign one of his books. I appreciate that Kirk takes… pic.twitter.com/qKrpEcFBDc

Lance has three proposals for good evangelical Christians to think about:

1. Pulling your kids out of leftist universities.
2. Pray God raises up truth bomb comedians to challenge the culture.
3. Invest in a new generation of TikTok geniuses who know how to reach the easily manipulated minds of youth who the left so easily programs. https://t.co/WvEJ4A1HNu

All Democrats hate Christians?:

This man is as corrupt as he is ignorant. What makes him dangerous is that he speaks for his party. They wanted to say Christian White Supremacists but there’s too many black and Latino Christians they’d provoke. But make no mistake – they hate us all. https://t.co/NuDqsUcKOE

Beth Moore: Political commentator.

Suddenly Charlie Kirk and Jack Hibbs are Jeffersonian agrarians:

The Federalist Papers discuss the dangers of cities where rumors and half-truths reign supreme, and God warned us in Genesis 11 that building cities could lead to the tyranny of the majority. @charliekirk11

Reasons for shouting:

If you got out of bed this morning and your name isn't in the obituaries, you have something to shout about!

Is this the most effective way of challenging Christian nationalism?:

This weekend Christian nationalists are gathering at a Trump resort in Miami as part of the “Reawaken America” Tour… so our friends got a boat and a floating billboard.

Sean has a few thoughts on the SBC church membership decline:

Most of these churches closed down for a year. It only takes 66 days to form a new habit.
