John Fea   |  March 25, 2024

What is happening in Evangelical land?

Reuters discovers Trump evangelical media.

Are evangelicals responsible for violence in the Middle East?

Evangelicals disrupt pre-Lenten partying in Brazil.

World Vision on Gaza:

49% of the Gaza Strip’s population are facing significant risks of acute malnutrition and death. We call for a ceasefire, lasting peace & the end of all restrictions that are preventing food and lifesaving aid to reach the civilian population, especially children. @WorldVision https://t.co/2hWiRY79Pk

Are evangelicals placing power over politics?

Russell Moore tries to explain why so many evangelical voters don’t care about character.

Shane Claiborne on Palm Sunday:

Steven Wolfe and Darryl Hart on Christian nationalism. Hart almost sounds like an Anabaptist here.

Roger Olsen offers reflection on yet another book about someone leaving evangelicalism.

British Baptists stay traditional on marriage.

World Vision was all in for World Water Day:

It’s #WorldWaterDay! This year’s theme is “Water for Peace” and today, we’re recognizing the critical role clean water plays in promoting health, education & economic development. Swipe to learn more. #usaidbha #un-water #globalWASHcluster #cleanwaterforall #20liters pic.twitter.com/uk8BWb7vw3

Is Trinity Evangelical Divinity School returning to its roots in the Evangelical Free Church of America?

Spanish evangelicals for creation care.

Blast from the past:

More stuff on the “Moscow (ID) Mood”

Jenna loves to “speak truth.” She certainly “spoke truth” as Trump’s election fraud lawyer. She spoke so much “truth” that she needed to plead guilty in the Georgia election case. But yet: Some don’t like it when a woman “speaks truth.” It’s hard to make this stuff up:

You’re proving my point here that context matters. Paul was speaking as not permitting women to have authority in the church as a member of the ecclesia.

I am not a pastor, nor do I hold church office. But I am a Christian and my sex is irrelevant to speaking truth and matters… https://t.co/p8dfDPaLIM

The Southern Baptist cappuccino machine controversy may hit the courtroom.

Bob Vander Plaats finally failed to pick the winner of the Iowa primary. Can we still call him an “evangelical kingmaker?” The streak has ended, but Vander Plaats cannot let go of Ron DeSantis:

When common sense Americans see a beacon of freedom and servant leadership…they will come.

The #SunshineState is realizing people crossing the border the right way and for the right reason.

Congrats to @RonDeSantis and @CaseyDeSantis for modeling leadership. https://t.co/6Et4JVIOP9

Ted Cruz came to Liberty University in March 2015 in the hopes of securing the endorsement of then president Jerry Falwell Jr. In the end, Falwell endorsed Trump. Cruz and Trump put aside their differences. So, apparently, have Cruz and Liberty:

“The Bible isn’t silent on the great issues of the day, and the Bible commands us to be salt and light.” – @SenTedCruz speaking to @LibertyU students about the importance of Christian political engagement. pic.twitter.com/AydQyjOj1r

It looks like Ohio congressman Jim Jordan was there too:

Eric Metaxas with some thoughts on D.E.I.:

Evangelicals have a new sports hero:

Can it be? A Yalie who gives ALL CREDIT to his "Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"! This gives me hope, folks! God bless this young man! Did I mention he's also Greek? Wow. https://t.co/QCywxoI1Vm

If I recall, Perkins was silent on Lankford’s bipartisan immigration bill:

Thank you, @senatorlankford for speaking out against the $ 2.5 million in minibus earmarks for two hospitals that perform late-term abortions.

Federal taxpayer dollars should never be used to facilitate the taking of innocent unborn life. pic.twitter.com/BMGDN7FXqS

More on that Mark Driscoll “How Dare You! sermon.

Thomas Nelson Publishers will not publish John MacArthur’s latest book The War on Children.

Albert Mohler explains why so many young people support Palestine:

"Why Are So Many Young People Pro-Palestine? Is It Because of Social Media and Misinformation, or Is There More to It Than That?"

Al Mohler vs. the Pope on hell.

Conservatives want to takeover mainline denominations. They are calling their movement “Reconquista.” I have the same question Dan Silliman has:

Lots of questions about this movement of conservatives who want to take over mainline denominations like the Presbyterian Church (USA), but one that jumps out is why name it for a Spanish Catholic war on Muslims and the forced conversion Jews? https://t.co/lXAM03BDSd

Michael Bird’s facial expressions here are priceless:

Hear it from their own lips: Christian Nationalists want to rescind voting rights for non-Christians https://t.co/oIfjehjXAq
