The battle for souls in the deepest Amazon.

The folks at the Institute on Religion & Democracy commemorate the 75th anniversary of Carl F.H. Henry’s The Uneasy Conscience

Russell Moore responds to the death of Alexei Navalny:

The Putin regime murders political dissidents, slaughters Ukrainian children, holds hostage Russian orphans hostage, and persecutes religious minorities (including evangelical Christians).

Christians, above all people, ought to recognize how anti-Christ all that is.

Russell Moore and Leah Payne talk Christian contemporary music.

Justin Giboney on integrity and impartiality:

Conducting ourselves with integrity and impartiality means focusing on the merits of the case even when someone in your political party or who’s part of your racial group is under scrutiny

We all complain that other groups lack integrity then we defend the indefensible ourselves

— Justin Giboney (@JustinEGiboney) February 16, 2024

Roger Olsen is giving some attention to Glenn Tinder’s The Political Meaning of Christianity.

What Southern Baptists need to face.

Eight deacons at a Southern Baptist church in Arkansas quit because they won’t sign a loyalty pledge to the past.

James Dobson celebrates Tony Dungy for Black History Month:

Why Elisabeth Elliott is trending.

Tony Perkins responds to the discredited informant in the GOP’s Biden impeachment efforts:

I am more alarmed about my response to this news than the news itself. It has come to a point that I have zero trust in our federal system of justice under this administration.

Whether or not this is another attempt to intimidate witnesses that come forward we will probably… pic.twitter.com/6fUrjMAyIN

I am guessing Perkins opposed the bipartisan border bill written by James Lankford, Chris Murphy, and Krysten Sinema:

This is absolutely insane. As I noted on @newsmax @CSalcedoShow, the terrorists crossing our southern border are an existential threat to our country and we must secure our border. The U.S. cannot afford another terrorist attack like 9/11.@butlersheriff pic.twitter.com/sE3mfTt2tF

Paul Matzko appears on Warren Throckmorton’s David Barton podcast:

Neo-Marxism! Neo-Marxism!

This is what neo-Marxism looks like — weaponizing the courts to persecute your opponents. Wake up, America!https://t.co/zQTVmZt552

Did Spurgeon take down Marx in England?

At the #London gravesite of the man who almost singlehandedly defeated #Marxism in #Britain.

Karl Marx and Charles Spurgeon lived in the same London at the same time, and Marx knew Spurgeon was the reason for his failure in Britain.
