Because some held Christian flags and crosses at the Trump rally in Washington D C on January and because a melee at the U S Capitol ensued the conclusion now pushed by the mainstream media and politicians and religious leaders on the left is that Christian Nationalists are homegrown terrorists threatening our democracy But what exactly is Christian Nationalism It's being used as a catch-all pejorative a word expressing contempt for those who breached the Capitol but by extension any and all Christians including evangelicals who want biblical values integrated into civil life and polity The reasoning goes You're a [... more]

A Brookings Institution column this year concluded this way Though President Trump is a candidate whose personal behavior has often been at odds with the values espoused by many evangelicals any potential path he has to remain in the White House after January must pass between the pews of white evangelical churches In turn Democratic Party leaders have opportunities to interrupt that passage by paying attention to evangelicals especially unaffiliated evangelicals persuadable to add their votes to the Democratic coalition In short Evangelical Christians are the key voting demographic in a national election which explains why there is so much [... more]

It's my conviction that much of the rhetoric about this latest issue social justice poses a more imminent and dangerous threat to the clarity and centrality of the gospel than any other recent controversy evangelicals have engaged in That's quite a statement from pastor John MacArthur about the hottest topic in the church and mainstream society social justice Sadly a great division in the Evangelical church has formed over the issue of social justice One side sees the pursuit of social justice i e working to rectify perceived social inequalities related to ethnicity gender privilege sexuality economics and immigration status [... more]
