Evangelical figures who previously supported Donald Trump are backing off now that he’s announced his third bid for the presidency.
“Donald Trump can’t save America,” Mike Evans told The Washington Post. “He can’t even save himself.”
Evans was part of a group of evangelicals who met with Trump at the White House, and at one point gave him an award.
Now, he says he’s done with Trump.
“He used us to win the White House. We had to close our mouths and eyes when he said things that horrified us,” Evans told the newspaper. “I cannot do that anymore.”
Robert Jeffress, one of Trump’s evangelical advisers during the 2016 campaign and a longtime supporter, said he’s not ready to endorse him again.
“The Republican Party is headed toward a civil war that I have no desire or need to be part of,” Jeffress told Newsweek, adding that he would “happily” support Trump again if he wins the nomination.
That’s not a given, considering Trump’s plunging poll numbers among Republican voters. Jeffress also seemed to subtweet Trump on the day of his 2024 announcement by urging people to buy Mike Pence’s book:

Jeffress added on Twitter that he still considers Trump “a great friend and our greatest president since Reagan.”
Another onetime faith adviser to Trump, James Robison of Life Outreach International, said in a speech this week that Trump’s ego is getting in the way of the agenda.
“If Mr. Trump can’t stop his little petty issues, how does he expect people to stop major issues?” Robison said, according to The Washington Post.
He said he told Trump: “Sir, you act like a little elementary schoolchild and you shoot yourself in the foot every morning you get up and open your mouth! The more you keep your mouth closed, the more successful you’re gonna be!”
Robison did not say if he was planning to support Trump in 2024.
Another evangelical figure who previously endorsed Trump was even more blunt, with Washington Times columnist Everett Piper writing that Trump cost the GOP big in the midterms and could hurt them even more in two years.
“The take-home of this past week is simple: Donald Trump has to go,” Piper wrote. “If he‘s our nominee in 2024, we will get destroyed.”

Think I am going to have to wearily title this short paper for my Darwinism course “No Prospect of an End,” because oh boy does writing about how Kirwan’s scathing critique of Hutton’s geological theories wasn’t so different from modern day objections to teaching evolutionary biology really drive home that we are at 200+ years of this nonsense and counting and the ride is not about to stop any time soon

What Will It Take to Reach Others? (1 Corinthians 9:19-23)
We have to be around other people in order to reach them. 
Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized—whoever. I didn’t take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in Christ—but I entered their world and tried to experience things from…

The knowledge of salvation in forgiveness
The knowledge of salvation in forgiveness
When we recognize we are in a forgiven state, we can then operate within that condition in a manner that honors the Creator of the universe. When John the baptizer was born six months ahead of Yeshua, his father, Zechariah, was provided a prophetic utterance by the holy Spirit regarding the work of his newborn son. Luke 1:76-77 – “And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for…

Adviser to Presidents: Graham served as a spiritual adviser to several U.S. presidents, offering them counsel and prayer. He was particularly close to Presidents Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Richard Nixon. His influence extended beyond religious matters to political and social issues.
Founder of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA): In 1950, Graham founded the BGEA, an organization dedicated to spreading the Christian message through various means, including crusades, television, radio, and publications. The BGEA continues to operate today, promoting evangelism and discipleship worldwide.

Quick Thought – Friday, January 26, 2024: Faith Without Action
Read James 2:14-26 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. James 2:17 Reflect Billy Bob was the picture of a perfect Christian. He attended church every week – sometimes even twice a week. He carried a Bible with him everywhere he went and even had three copies in different places in his house, plus a Bible app on his cell phone. He prayed before meals and often prayed in his…

We are the body of Christ. In the body there are many parts, each with a place, and a purpose. While we may hold the feet in high esteem right now, because they are the ones who want to “GO.” However, without shins and knees to back them up, they are going nowhere slowly. Even if you manage to put together a complete set of legs, what are you supposed to do once you get to where you’re GOing with no arms? My point being, many churches are quick to accept and validate those who fit into their mission statement. Yet treat others as inconsequential. Yet even the foot may feel superfluous if they have no ankle to connect to. Uniformly in the body may be comfortable, but inefficient. There are indeed consequences to it. (1st Corinthians 12)

Practical Theology:
Another 'Christian' meme inspires me to write.
I… I can’t. Alright, here goes. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; And his truth endureth to all generations. Psalm 100 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing…

"What is 'Outreach'"?
The difference between outreach and evangelism is essentially this—outreach will almost universally get you pats on the back while evangelism will eventually get you persecuted.  Outreach does not replace evangelism but it can be powerfully productive as a handmaid to evangelism OR an excuse for not doing evangelism. It can be the cowards way of assuaging his guilt and insulating himself from…
