The Illinois pastor (Missouri Synod Lutheran) named in the Georgia election fraud case will not flip on Trump.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Christians United for Israel founder John Hagee support Israel on the National Mall. Hagee’s appearance is getting some blowback. Here is Hagee:

Here with thousands of supporters of Israel to send a message to the world…Israel, you are not alone!!! #MarchForIsrael #StandWithIsrael #BringThemHome pic.twitter.com/Fm0Spx2ruD

“Holy Troublemakers,” “men who never grow up,” a lot of stuffed, taxidermy, and youth groups suck. Yup, it’s just another day on the Eric Metaxas Radio Show:

Sojourners calls for a “trans-affirming evangelicalism.”

Lance Wallnau on Pope Francis. His follower–Timothy Dooley–seems to be on board:

The Roman Catholicism Church is the apostate church.

Franklin Graham is in Israel. He met and prayed with Bibi:

It was a privilege to meet and pray with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin @Netanyahu today. This man needs our prayers. He is facing the most trying time since the birth of their nation with 1,200 people killed, more than 240 men, women, and children taken as hostages, and many… pic.twitter.com/iSjkvVrEUk

I don’t follow this world of Reformed Christianity as closely as I probably should, but this is really getting crazy. Doug Wilson (see above) and Anthony Bradley:

I consider it a true honor for Doug Wilson to write a vile article about me and associate me in the article with Dr. Karen Prior. Bless his heart!! “When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.” ~Dr. Maya Angelou (We tried in the 1990s. He hasn’t changed.😂) https://t.co/be6AuFALeI pic.twitter.com/FT6L4O69Uv

The pastor of a Nashville megachurch, a disciple of Tim Keller, resigns due to an “unhealthy leadership style.” Also here.

“Providentially hindered?”:

Nearly 1100 @LibertyU students were set to go to DC for the March for Israel. We were providentially hindered as God had different plans. Tonight our student body came together in a big way to pray for peace, justice and the salvation of Israel 🇮🇱. @freedomcenterlu pic.twitter.com/iIyD08LcSW

Is this megachurch too loud?

If you need to revive the “War on Christmas,” Gary Bauer is your man. He’s been fighting this fight decades:

How much more of this leftist insanity will Americans tolerate? Why is Christmas the only holiday singled out and banned in the name of "inclusivity" and "equity"? If these bureaucrats don't have anything more important to do, they should be fired!https://t.co/JPZxPqai74

John Cooper, the lead singer of the Christian band Skillet, has a self-published new book out titled Wimpy, Weak, and Woke: How Truth Can Save America From Utopian Destruction.

There is going to be a “God’s Not Dead 5“

“The world is going to be burned-up.” I think Bob Jeffress should read some N.T. Wright. He should start with Surprised by Hope.

Knowing the end times are near should impact the way we live each and every day. Join me in learning more about the end times on Sundays at 9:15 or 11am at First Baptist Dallas or order a copy of my brand-new book, “Are We Living in the End Times?” at https://t.co/p2MSUy3d9l pic.twitter.com/3w7iRe9xdO

Reports of a revival at Jentezen Franklin’s church in Georgia. The revival was led by this guy.

Tony and Ted talk about cultural Marxism and Ted’s new book:

"Right at the heart of the Cultural Marxist view is that the founding of America was a moment of evil."@tedcruz on the rise of anti-Semitism on college campuses & how conservatives can take back U.S. institutions from the Left. pic.twitter.com/4ES9ELRpGv

Rosaria Butterfield accuses several Christian organizations of promoting lies about sexuality.

Does Josh Buice want what is best for Robert George?:

2/ Identitarian ideology obscures all this and misleads people into imagining that criticism of their beliefs and conduct constitutes an attack on them personally. When people buy into it, they abandon the possibility of friendship, or even productive discussion, with critics.

Sean Feucht loves the homeless:

Maybe you shouldn't have let a massive homeless camp set a giant fire under it.

Just a thought here… https://t.co/90iARay2e0

When Sean’s song goes to #1, God wins:

GOD WINS AGAIN 🙏🏽🕊️🔥

The song #GodOfIsrael is now #1 and charting strong after being blocked for 3 days!
