John Fea   |  November 2, 2023

Bob Bowman and John Broger of Far East Broadcasting Company

What is happening in Evangelical land?

Many Latino evangelicals have spoken with dead people.

English evangelicals who have a “high view of scripture” and support same-sex relationships.

A Palestinian Christian and a Messiah College graduate calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Shane continues his peace witness:

Because some people, including President Biden, question the numbers of women and children that have been massacred in Gaza… here’s a list. Our friends in Palestine both NGOs and the Ministry of Health have started documenting every one.

Keep in mind all of Israel is the size… pic.twitter.com/HpZLZZyLmi

The world stood with Israel after the merciless slaughter and terror of October 7.

But now we are watching Israel mercilessly slaughter 200 children a day in Gaza. Israel is killing a child every 7 minutes.

Grief should never be a cry for war.
Revenge is poisonous.…

Should evangelicals pray with Roman Catholics. Of course they should. But Leonardo De Chirico, an evangelical theologian in Rome, has another view.

American evangelicals are giving a lot of money to ministries that provide aid to Israel.

Russell Moore had a good visit to Covenant College:

I am blown-away impressed by the students at faculty here at @CovenantCollege. The students are smart and engaged, chapel packed with warm singing and worship.

I can see why alums are so proud to have gone here. pic.twitter.com/pT6evuC0iI

Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, a Southern Baptist school, just acquired the world’s largest collection of materials related to Charles Spurgeon.

Blast from the past:

The Association of Certified Biblical Counselors has removed John MacArthur’s Grace Community Church from its list of approved counseling organizations.

Albert Mohler and Tony Perkins on “standing with” Mike Johnson:

Americans who pray, vote, and stand for biblical truth are what we advocate for, and that is what @SpeakerJohnson represents—Christians who live out their faith in the public arena.

As @albertmohler advises, “It is our responsibility to stand with him.” pic.twitter.com/9VSZ6m1v66

— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) October 31, 2023

Here is more Perkins on Mike Johnson (below). Just for the record, there are a lot of “Bible-believing Christians” who have a Christian “worldview” who disagree with Mike Johnson’s interpretation of the Bible and his application of the Bible to political affairs. It’s not that simple, Mike and Tony:

What spooks Jen Psaki about @Speakerjohnson?
“The Bible doesn’t just inform his worldview, it is his worldview.” pic.twitter.com/CziQDaCZjX

— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) October 31, 2023

The hostility toward @SpeakerJohnson for expressing his biblical beliefs is very telling about where the Left and today’s Democratic Party stand on religious freedom. They are against it!

John Cooper of the Christian band Skillet is not happy about people showing-up to the Dove Awards in drag.

Trump evangelical court journalist David Brody is no fan of the isolationist wing of the GOP.

Should evangelicals “deconstruct” their faith?

Franklin Graham on whether he will support Donald Trump in 2024. No use clicking on this link because he dodges just about every question.

Most Americans are creationists. In other words, they believe that God created the world without evolution.

Jim Garlow has it all figured out:

Charlie Kirk blames this on immigration. He will be at a megachurch near you on Sunday.

Mass illegal migration = erosion of social cohesion and trust.

A miracle in Chehalis, Washington.

A conservative evangelical dispensationalist calls for a day of prayer in Israel based on 2 Chronicles 7:14.

Kelly Johnson, the wife of the Speaker of the House, has removed her counseling website. Find out why here. Former Trump election fraud lawyer Jenna Ellis, who just pleaded guilty to interfering with the 2020 presidential election, is not happy about it:

“We believe and the Bible teaches that any form of sexual immorality, such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, pornography or any attempt to change one’s sex, or disagreement with one’s biological sex, is sinful and offensive to God.”… https://t.co/0sfF4vO9Gf

Franklin on the Hamas-Israel war at home and abroad:

The Brooklyn Bridge had to be closed Saturday because of hundreds of anti-Israel protesters. In Dagestan, hate-filled anti-Israel protesters stormed the airport where a flight from Tel Aviv was landing and they thought Jewish evacuees were on board. We are seeing escalating…

— Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) October 31, 2023

Have these people missed the fact that Hamas attacked Israel? Are they overlooking that Hamas brutally murdered 1400 Jewish men, women, and children and took over 230 hostages? We are still hearing details of the barbaric atrocities they inflicted on their victims. They are open…

— Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) October 31, 2023

While Israel defends itself and is on a mission to rid the world of Hamas, there are innocent civilians in Gaza. Israel has given warnings and taken many precautions. They have allowed food and relief supplies to go into Gaza for the civilians trapped there, but they are fighting…
