Today, fifty evangelical leaders from Wisconsin urged Harris, Walz, Trump, and Vance to “reflect biblical principles on immigration.” Evangelical relief agency World Relief was behind the letter to the candidates. The central argument is this: “The vast majority of American evangelicals are neither anti-immigrant nor advocates for open borders.” Read it here.
In addition to the Wisconsin evangelical leaders, the letter is also signed by representatives of World Relief, The National Association of Evangelicals, the Faith & Freedom Coalition, the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities, the National Latino Evangelical Coalition, the Brethren in Christ, and the Wesleyan Church.

Let’s check in on X:
Southern Baptist megachurch pastor Jack Graham on girls having to compete against biological men in sports. I don’t think I have heard Harris address this issue:

James Robison is praying that “faith and freedom can prevail in America and around the world”:
Greg Laurie explains why he prayed at a Trump rally. He makes it sound like he was only concerned about leading people to Jesus. I think he forgets that he was a prominent court evangelical during Trump’s presidential term. Watch the video of Laurie speaking before his prayer and you decide what he was up to and why he was there:
Tony Perkins is concerned that Christians are not civically engaged. (Translation: Vote for Trump):
“Everything is on the line”:
Eric Metaxas is not exaggerating:

MAGA evangelicals really take George Barna seriously. They are really freaking out about this:
Sometimes it seems all evangelical commentary on elections is a series of footnotes to Charles Finney: “God cannot sustain this free and blessed country, which we love and pray for, unless the Church will take right ground. Politics are a part of a religion in such a country as this, and Christians must do their duty to the country as a part of their duty to God. It seems sometimes as if the foundations of the nation are becoming rotten, and Christians seem to act as if they think God does not see what they do in politics. But I tell you He does see it, and He will bless or curse this nation, according to the course they take.”
