Evangelical roundup for January 18, 2024

John Fea   |  January 18, 2024

What is happening in Evangelical land?

Micah Watson reviews Russell Moore’s Losing Our Religion.

The soundtrack of white evangelicalism.

The war in Gaza is making some Latino evangelicals question their support for Israel.

Trump is not our savior:

Images like this one continue to circulate, comparing Trump to Jesus. This is the definition of idolatry.

Trump is not our Savior… but he is a man desperately in need of Jesus.

In fact, if you read the list of seven deadly sins – pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath,… pic.twitter.com/xz1ObK1cal

Evangelicals in Austria are inviting politicians to join them for breakfast.

The “I Was a Stranger” challenge.

World Vision remembers MLK:

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" —Martin Luther King Jr. Let us lean into this statement, reminding us to keep fighting the injustices that lead to poverty worldwide🧡 pic.twitter.com/dVp0ukR9KE

Kate Bowler sends a gift to Karen Swallow Prior:

Daniel Akin celebrates 20 years at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

Beth Moore on the Iowa caucuses.

World Relief is leading a discussion on “welcoming the stranger.”

The highest paid Christian executives.

Blast from the past:

Greg Locke’s tent collapsed.

More on Ryan Binkley, the evangelical pastor running for president.

Southern Baptist Convention President Bart Barber on Steve Bannon on Mike Johnson:

It is important to learn to accept from God's hand both the outcome you wanted and the outcome you did not want. The political aspect of this is unimportant—this is Christian discipleship.@SpeakerJohnson is 100% right. Bannon is 100% wrong. https://t.co/eRs7hN75o4

The latest on T.D. Jakes.

Todd Starnes disagrees with Mike Johnson:

Speaker Johnson insinuates that it was God's will for Joe Biden to be president. I would contend it may be God's judgment.

Starnes on Beth Moore:

Leftist preacher Beth Moore has her clerical robes in a twist over all of you Christian Trump supporters. Can't seem to find any posts where Mrs. Preacher Moore attacks Biden supporters or Obama supporters. Sounds like Mrs. Preacher More is infected with a terminal case of Trump…

Charlie Kirk on Beth Moore:

Hey Beth, instead of lecturing us about what you think Trump voters want, why dont you go see for yourself? Join me at MAGA rally and see it. Go minister to them and share Jesus rather than insulting 75 million Americans. https://t.co/HCFmW0y2oH

Another response to Beth Moore:

Beth, while Trump isn’t my guy in the primary (nor was he in 2016), I do think you have a blind spot.

There may be a segment of Trump fans who love everything he posts, including the name-calling and the accusations of backstabbing toward former allies he now considers… https://t.co/w32bJRCs9H

Court evangelical Jack Graham likes Allie’s response:

Ah…. A rational voice https://t.co/qdskWyO9u8

Is eHarmony “glorifying sin“?

Evangelicals still love C.J. Stroud.

Proof:

Apparently Trump securing the votes of 56,000 die hard Republicans in Iowa in 2024 is "proof" that Trump won the national presidential election in 2020. https://t.co/4pfLwRTQIq

Joel Osteen’s daughter

Tony Perkins says January 6th was a riot, not an insurrection.

I wonder what MLK would think of Josh Hawley:

Nobody in the 20th century understood America’s spiritual heritage in the Bible better than the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He called on that heritage to transform the nation, and we are better because he did. We need more like him today. #MartinLutherKingDay

— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) January 15, 2024

America needs a righteous revolution:

The price for world peace is world righteousness; America needs a righteous revolution. It starts with you, the individual.

If you want to fix the border, vote for Trump:

The border was fixed under President @realDonaldTrump. If @GovKathyHochul is sincere about getting the border fixed, maybe she will support him? Pray for our country. The next election is so critical.

Phil Vischer on MLK Day:

Wow. Posted positively about MLK on MLK Day and ignited a mini "Unite the Right" rally in my feed. My fave is the lovely young gentleman who told me I would spend eternity in hell with my "chocolate hero."

Sir, MLK is an American hero. My "chocolate hero" is Milton Hershey.

— Phil Vischer (@philvischer) January 16, 2024

Perhaps Phil had this in mind:
