I took the last week off to write. (More on that later). What happened in the world of evangelicals and politics while I was gone? Let’s check in:
Jenna Ellis offers another “lesson” in the politics of human dignity:
Jenna, the “servant of Jesus Christ” (as her X bio says) loves to revel in the pain of others:
Eric is going after Francis Collins:
Eric is not the only one who is not happy with Francis:
Another Metaxas target: Gavin Newsom:
And let’s not forget Ben & Jerry:
There is an old episode of Veggie Tales called “The Rumor Weed.” I don’t think Jenna saw it:
Jack Hibbs has a “plan” on immigration. As he frames his plan he suggests that some Calvary Chapel pastors are not “born-again” or are “going to heaven.” His thesis: “Love your neighbor” has nothing to do with illegal aliens. This one gets really wild:

Some Christian Right leaders met with Bibi. In this pic I see Tony Perkins, Ralph Reed, and Lance Wallnau:

Albert Mohler on Christian nationalism: ” I refuse to run from the field when the left cries âChristian nationalist.â I do not embrace the term, but I wonât surrender at the threat of it. Press on.” More here:
Mohler’s is a modern day Federalist. His vision of “ordered liberty” is Hamiltonian. He writes as if a Jeffersonian tradition never existed in the United States:
When you have massive social media followings, reasoned historical arguments aren’t necessary. You just announce it:
Jew hate and pugilism?:
Evangelicals cheering:
The government’s job:
Former Southern Baptist president Jack Graham retweeted this:
And other views on government aid:
Tony asks for prayer:
Trump’s White House Faith Office is run by Jenny Korn:
And this:
A diehard evangelical Trumper. I wondered if he talked to the president about this?:
James Robison quotes Thomas Paine:
Franklin Graham was on the phone with Zelenskyy:
And this:
Russell Moore also has thoughts on Ukraine:
Devotions for patriots:
Shane is offering another way to think about evangelical politics:
Christianity Today as well:
And this:
