What is the difference between Christian nationalism and Catholic integralism?

Beth Moore’s Bibles:

Sometimes we’re just one new Bible away from revival.

If you’re a Bible teacher, think about putting away that same Bible you’ve taught out of for 15 years. The markings can end up making it a security blanket. Get back out there where you have to hunt it all down again.

An Iowa evangelical radio host and big Ron DeSantis supporter during the 2024 GOP primaries:

Christ-less conservatism not only has no hope of saving this country or the West, but will instead (unintentionally) help the Spirit of the Age drive the stake through the heart to finish it off. For example, you cannot have a society predicated upon God-given rights without the…

So you’re agreeing the sinner needs to repent for his sin, including pridefulness, but you openly say have not repented for homosexuality or pride.

Liberty University students on pronouns:

“We should love people the way Christ did, but Christ never condoned sin.”

Liberty University: Calvinist stronghold. ;-):

Mike Johnson doesn't seem to realize that actually fighting against evil is a biblical value. https://t.co/Zfe1IT75DQ

— Eric Metaxas (@ericmetaxas) April 6, 2024
