In a four-part video series “SBC at the Crossroads” Rick Warren says that the denomination is in “unprecedented decline.” And here. And here:

Christian contemporary music star Michael W. Smith endorses a controversial Bible.

Trump gave Christians “a seat at the table”:

Trump Tried to Give Christians a Seat at the Table

Hey guys, did you know that if you're not at the table, you're not in the deal? Trump gave Christians a seat at the table so we could change America for the better, and many threw it away. This is why it's so important to be… pic.twitter.com/30WHQdTbMy

Evangelicals in Louisiana are trying to restore prayer to public schools.

Senator Tim Scott’s faith-based presidential campaign comes to New Hampshire.

The “future of California”:

PLEASE PRAY as we are about to open the doors to THE COMEBACK CALIFORNIA pastor’s engagement conference. The next 12 hours could determine the future of CA if pastors choose to stand for righteousness. Let us be caught being busy about our Father's business when Christ returns! pic.twitter.com/phl73GGRAp

Donald Trump turns on Kayleigh McEnany:

Kayleigh was one of the only voices defending Trump on CNN when he ran in 16. I often disagreed with her, but she was prepared, relentless & unafraid of being heavily outnumbered. She then served Trump as chief spokesperson when he was president. She also likes DeSantis. Result: pic.twitter.com/ZwToHGOvpm

Trump is apparently also turning on his former election fraud lawyer Jenna Ellis:

Team Trump is pushing a lie that I’ve been divorced 3x. It’s false.

So why THIS lie?

They want to destroy my character and make me seem untrustworthy and… “disloyal.”

It’s the lowest form of political attack but that’s all they have. It’s no better than leftists.

I think all…

I have a hard time believing Jenna after her court evangelicalism in the years between 2016 and 2022:

I’m loyal to God first, and then to America.

Not to MAGA or the GOP.

So therefore, I’ll use my God-given blessing of liberty to vote in the best way to secure that liberty further. https://t.co/RuK57pnUk3

Southern Baptist theobros have a resolution.

The January 6th QAnon Shaman speaks at an Arizona megachurch.

Roger Stone and evangelical support for Donald Trump.

Lance Wallnau and Eric Metaxas call for a boycott of Fox News:

Franklin Graham is now in the business of tax reform:

Florida @GovRonDeSantis has a point here. He said he would welcome overhauling or getting rid of the current Internal Revenue Service, and I agree with him. Our tax code has become so complicated, and the IRS has become so corrupt, that it might be good to wipe the slate clean. I…

Defrocked priest Frank Pavone comes to Liberty University:

Liberty is a gift from God. We must rediscover this truth and not take it for granted. pic.twitter.com/RvYaLVoLEk

— Standing for Freedom Center (@freedomcenterlu) May 31, 2023

Liberty University’s Standing for Freedom Center wants to do something about poverty, but are under no “obligation to help indolent bums.” Such people, they argue, are “not entitled to our generosity.”

Evangelicals are boycotting “The Chosen”. Lance is not so sure:

Should you boycott 'The Chosen' After LGBT Gear Spotted on Set?

It’s important to know the Chosen is not pushing an lgbtq agenda, they simply have an employee with a rainbow flag on the set. It’s a PR nightmare to fire the guy.

Are we overreacting? https://t.co/GPtiQwrNR4

Evangelicals are boycotting Chik-fil-A because they hired a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion director. Charlie says such a position is not biblical:

DEI is an inherently anti-Christian practice. Having a “DEI director” isn’t just bad business. It’s incompatible with being a conservative or a Christian company.

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) May 31, 2023

Eric Metaxas: “When they bow to the diversity gods, it is NOT okay w/the folks who’ve supported Chik-fil-A over the years…Just as it’s NOT okay with Dodgers fans that they are bowing to Satanic anti-Christian groups. It’s time to push back.”

Jenna Ellis thinks Chik-fil-A is experiencing “mission drift”:

Mission drift. Why do so many sons of grounded fathers ruin their conservative legacies? https://t.co/OCh7Flr5cL

The boycott of Target continues:

Target has lost $12,000,000,000.00

Their market cap has fallen from $74 billion to nearly $62 billion in just two weeks since the boycotts began.

Keep the pressure on!
