Evangelical roundup for May 23, 2024

John Fea   |  May 23, 2024

What is happening in Evangelical land?

Are evangelical churches growing?

Evangelical leaders gather in Poland.

Jim Wallis on Christian nationalism:

"A lot of people think that the answer to bad religion is no religion, I disagree. I think the answer is…better faith." Theologian @jimwallis argues against White Christian Nationalism in his book, "The False White Gospel." Watch #AfterWords, Sunday 5/19 at 8pm ET on @cspan 2 pic.twitter.com/btcHtzNUTq

The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) adds “character” to its standards for non-profits.

World Vision is working to end hunger:

Ocean Grove changes its position on Sunday beach closings.

Blast from the past:

An evangelical author says that Pope Francis is promoting an “atheistic, humanistic, non-biblical view” of humankind. Al Mohler says basically the same thing.

Trump court journalist David Brody doesn’t like it either:

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. This is EXACTLY the OPPOSITE of what the Bible says. The human heart, in its natural connection, is actually evil. Jeremiah 17:9: “ The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?.” https://t.co/wRQfDndRgw

Johnnie Moore, the court evangelicals’ PR guy during the Trump administration, is a Zionist.

Robert Jeffress believes America has a role in the “end times”:

Is a revival coming to Michigan. Does God bring revival to individual states? If a state has a revival will it mean that Trump wins it in 2024? This guy answers yes to all these questions:

Imagine a revival sweeping across Michigan, igniting the winds of awakening in this great state. With 70% of Michiganders identifying as Christians, if they vote their godly values, 5.8 million strong, they can shift Michigan for the glory of God. pic.twitter.com/iqIFXiNoND

Lance believes the “populist civic awakening began when believers prayed in Trump to disrupt the status quo.” If you don’t believe him, you’ve “got devils”:

MAGA cultist Lance Wallnau says future historians will date the beginning of the Third Great Awakening to when Christians prayed Trump into office in 2016: "The only people that don't agree with me are religious people and people that got devils." pic.twitter.com/J5ik3vjPx3

Evangelicals behaving badly

The former interim provost at Southwestern Baptist Theological seminary is indicted on a charge of obstructing justice in a sexual misconduct case.

Tony Perkins is not a fan of a two-state solution:

Norway, Ireland, and Spain said they will recognize a Palestinian state, which is setting the stage for a so-called “two-state solution” which would turn the so-called West Bank and Gaza into a Palestinian State. The end goal is clear: the destruction of Israel. We must stop… pic.twitter.com/ipuc1nv3qh

The Liberty University Standing for Freedom Center discovers that the Founding Fathers did not like democracy. They seem to see this as a positive thing.

Jack Hibbs: First Amendment scholar:

Eric Metaxas is endorsing Mike Flynn’s new film:

Franklin Graham’s daughter seems concerned about Mormon influencers:

Mormon influencers are on the rise and they have many of the same values as Christians. But do you know the difference between Mormonism and Christianity? @jwarnerwallace joins the #FearlessPodcast to discuss Mormonism and seeking #truth.https://t.co/x8hL51hJ4Y

    Speaking of ‘Great Awakenings,’ maybe we should remember that the First was lead by enslavers. I don’t think that I was told about George Whitefield and his slaves for orphans scheme in Methodist Sunday School.
