Wisconsin, Cory Booker, spiritual warfare, refugees, and more.
What is happening in the world of evangelicals and politics:
On Corey Booker’s 25 hour speech:
Sen. Cory Booker spoke for more than 24 hours. That’s my new standard for a long sermon! 🤣🤣

I just think this is a far more convincing, sacrificial and ennobling way to convey to the American people you have real conviction and this is more than “politics” to you than dropping some f-bombs. https://t.co/e60Pb141Zp

People want to know that Democrats really, really believe things, and are willing to articulate what they believe. That is one reason that what @CoryBooker is doing right now is worthwhile.

“It’s interesting.”

On Trump’s tariffs:
What is wrong w/Mike Pence? FREE TRADE has limits. If China is using slave labor, shall we trade with them? When we open our markets to other nations we are MORALLY obligated to expect them to behave MORALLY for the privilege of trading with us. https://t.co/CTzeoI1WqT

On free speech:
On the Wisconsin Supreme Court election:
It’s really pathetic that judges have grown so used to overstepping their bounds that we all know that one state-level election can change the make up of Congress. That’s a massive problem and we must start to deal with it. https://t.co/MIKEmVVqoO

Of course it was rigged, Lance:
On immigration and refugees:
Walter Kim of @NAEvangelicals: Immigrants are “coming from parts of the world where the church is actually thriving” & “contributing to the vibrancy of the church in America”
Mass deportation would amount to a government-fostered “church decline strategy” https://t.co/guKR1bg0mW

My hearts breaks for this family
If our government actually has evidence of the crimes it’s alleging, it should have prosecuted this husband & father
Instead, it violated the law by deporting him to El Salvador despite a judge’s prohibition

Our government tells Haitians who entered the US lawfully to return by April 24, “self-deporting,” or face arrest
Meanwhile, our government also bars US commercial flights into Haiti’s main airport because it’s too dangerous https://t.co/7NGJC4LIzf

“They filled suitcases, spread out their possessions at a garage sale, and listed their car on Facebook. The pastor packed only ten books . . . The rest, including his beloved, 3,000-page copy of Herman Bavinck’s Reformed Dogmatics, he left behind.” https://t.co/0TrQ8mijdj

Yes, progressive liberals were and are trying to destroy the United States.
And while progressive evangelicals have claimed that open borders is “loving your neighbor, the real result is hating your neighbor.@ERLC https://t.co/56SaoSWY5S

Other stuff:
Christianity Today recently hired an editor to cover Black churches. Megan doesn’t like it:
Unless this is an April’s Fool’s joke, (and if so, touché!) @CTmagazine has now hired an editor exclusively to cover black churches and black Christians. Do they plan to hire editors to specialize in any other ethnicities?
