Evangelical roundup for April 11, 2024

John Fea   |  April 11, 2024

Warner Auditorium, Anderson College (IN)

What is happening in Evangelical land?

Conservative evangelicals want Trump to do more on abortion.

I have never heard of Josh Garrels, but he is apparently a “prominent Christian musician.” The Red Letter Christians think he may be a coward.

Beth Moore continues to reveal her Knick fandom:

Jalen Brunson is just ridiculously good. Mercy.

More on evangelicals for immigration reform.

World Vision in the West Bank:

Six months since conflict erupted in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory, the needs of children continue to escalate.

Our response in the West Bank is making a vital impact, but much more must be done to ensure the well-being of every child. pic.twitter.com/0TrPhGMgJG

Student revivals are happening.

European evangelicals and the European Union

The Holy Post podcast introduces a new podcast hosted by Kaitlyn Schiess:

Mike Pence on Trump’s “slap in the face” to the pro-life community.

World Relief is welcoming refugees in Wisconson:

"Many churches in NE Wisconsin have partnered with ministries like @WorldRelief Wisconsin to welcome newly arriving refugees," notes @RepRibble.

A candidate who maligns immigrants "risks alienating evangelical Wisconsinite voters," he argues, citing @LifewayResearch polling https://t.co/JTuXRXWCGE

Ukrainian evangelicals are facing torture by Russian soldiers

The World Evangelical Alliance opens a new training center in Dover, NY.

Fair point:

The Dobbs decision overturning Roe was an apocalypse.

We are finally getting to see where everyone stands, and it’s not a good picture for the pro-life movement. https://t.co/NsRqtXETPX

The “Gospel Coalition-UK” is in the works.

“Nothing but the Blood of Jesus“

Winnie Cooper: Christian

Blast from the past:

An evangelical sees the complexity of immigration reform.

Robert Jeffress on the “next event on the biblical prophetic timeline.” I am not sure why this is worth an article at The Christian Post. People have been talking about the “next event on the biblical prophetic timeline” for a long time.

Sean Feucht draws a lesson from his walk through the Ark Encounter museum:

Was explaining this image below of child sacrifice to the god Molech from Old Testament to my kids as we walked through the Ark Encounter when I realized….

We are no different in America in 2024. pic.twitter.com/c9kY5gFKQZ

— Sean Feucht (@seanfeucht) April 10, 2024

Speaking of Jeffress, he thinks “biblical Christians” will know that it is their duty to vote for a candidate who tried to undermine the 2020 election and is charged with more than 80 felonies.

Mike Pompeo endorses Trump and Mike Huckabee is thrilled:

Excellent and timely endorsement by @mikepompeo who lays out FACTS about @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/BaQP3U9nZu

— Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) April 10, 2024

John Piper has some thoughts about caffeinated drinks.

Justin Giboney on manhood:

We can’t allow the next generation to believe selfishness and a lack of sexual discipline are inevitable parts of being a man.

Let’s tell them about our mistakes and why sacrificing for the ones you love is better than making them suffer while we pursue sexual conquest.

— Justin Giboney (@JustinEGiboney) April 9, 2024

The director of Liberty University’s Standing for Freedom Center is not happy with Trump on abortion and Jenna Ellis is pleased:

Albert Mohler on “Donald Trump’s abortion fumble“

John Hagee on the Israel-Hamas War:

October 7th, 2023 was the deadliest day in Jewish history since the Holocaust after Palestinian terrorists from Hamas launched an invasion in southern Israel. Today, Israel is doing all it can to protect and defend its people, and we will vigorously stand with the Jewish state.… pic.twitter.com/iRJ1PRQ5qp

— Pastor John Hagee (@PastorJohnHagee) April 8, 2024

David Brody backs Trump on abortion:

President Trump’s comments on abortion are consistent with what the pro-life community had been saying for decades before Roe was overturned. Remember, let’s be honest: BEFORE Roe went away, the entire pro-life community continuously talked about how a reversal of Roe would… pic.twitter.com/L9FVdxc3Su

Should your pastor wear a $2000 sweater?

Owen has some thoughts on the “lesser of two evils”:

Choose the lesser of two evils without blinking, Christian.

— Owen Strachan (@ostrachan) April 10, 2024

And a response to Owen:

“Of two evils, choose neither.” -C.H. Spurgeon

— Fyreous (@fyreous) April 10, 2024

More Owen:

You are not voting for the Pastor of America in 2024, Christian.

You are voting for the best possible candidate, and you should do so without guilt or hesitation.

— Owen Strachan (@ostrachan) April 10, 2024

A theobro on being pro-life in the post-Roe era:

"The overturning of Roe v. Wade has called the bluff of Republicans who claimed to be pro-life but never expected to have to prove it." — @madeleinekearns https://t.co/UaTNKaYHZv

— Andrew T. Walker (@andrewtwalk) April 10, 2024

Not all conservative evangelicals are happy with Trump right now:

This is EVIL!

There’s no other way to take this except to conclude that Trump believes murdering some babies is “within reason.“

PURE EVIL! https://t.co/IHicDSmXyw

Russell Moore in Vermont. Does anyone know him there?:

I’m in the village square of a little town in Vermont, packed with people. A very Parks and Rec reasonable-ists waiting for the End of the World vibe here. #Eclipse #Eclipse2024

I ask again: Is Mr. T an evangelical?:

Personally and Truthfully I really love spending quality time reading and studying my Holy Bible. There is so much I just don’t know, but I am willing to learn. As a matter of fact, I want to learn more! #Wednesdaythought

Franklin Graham on abortion and Whoopi Goldberg:

This week on @TheView, Whoopi Goldberg said that abortion wasn’t included in the Ten Commandments. She is wrong. Abortion is taking a life—it’s murder—and the Ten Commandments say, “Thou shalt not kill.” It couldn’t be any more clear Whoopi. https://t.co/6uodwKMiAn

    I’m reminded of what Charles Blow wrote about Mike Johnson:

    “He is from a part of the country where your nemesis will smile at you and promise to pray for you, where people will quickly submit that they “love the sinner but hate the sin,” where one hand can hold a Bible while the other holds a shackle. He is from a place where people use religion to brand their hatred as love so that they act on it cheerfully and without guilt.”
