#evangelical — Public Fediverse posts

just so y’all understand that the #SSPX is basically a #fascist cult, without Lefebvre there would have, most likely, never been a Jean-Marie Le Pen or a National Front in #France

the SSPX was #MAGA #evangelical #christofascist before it was cool. you've never heard of them because they hate evangelicals, christofascists or otherwise.

Rather than boosting cohesion through a more universal spiritual uplift, they say, the new approach violates the #Constitution & undermines the bonds of mutual #respect between #troops that are essential, especially in #wartime.

Every month at the #Pentagon, #Hegseth hosts #evangelical worship services that #legal experts say are unprecedented.

#HayleyWilliams said the #South would not rise again.

The South will not rise again
Til it’s paid for every sin
Strange fruit, hard bargain
Till the roots, Southern Gotham

Those values are rising pretty hard atm.

Just an Australian looking in from the outside. And waiting until the insanity lands on her shores.

#Ceasefire talks in #Gaza are stalling over the extent of #Israel forces' withdrawal from the #Palestinian enclave….

In Gaza, medics said 17 people trying to get #food #aid were killed Saturday when Israeli troops opened fire, the latest #MassShooting around a #US backed *aid* distribution system that the #UN says has resulted in 800 people killed in 6 weeks.

Moore was a spox for Liberty University, the #Christian institution founded in Lynchburg, VA, in 1971 by the Rev. #JerryFalwell, for a dozen years before moving into the media industry & starting his own faith-based PR firm.

He represented early #evangelical supporters of #Trump, including #JerryFalwellJr., who succeeded his father at Liberty University, & #PaulaWhite, who now leads the White House “faith office”.

Why should those who are #Reformed & #evangelical insist on the importance of #liturgical #worship ?

Because:
1) Worship is always presented as liturgical in the #Bible
2) Liturgical worship is the historic/universal form of the Church’s worship.
3) Liturgical worship is #sacramental - it presents the Gospel not only via the word, but also through the #sacraments ordained by God - and as such it is more faithfully biblical.
4) ALL the magisterial reformers worshipped liturgically.
5) Biblically shaped liturgy is missionally oriented - it shapes the worshipper for/towards #mission .
6) Liturgy is formative of “sticky” #faith : a) because it engages a person’s whole being, it tends to reinforce faith wholistically (not merely intellectually), b) because it is is sacramental the person TANGIBLY encounters God’s #grace , c) because historic liturgy is robustly biblical it soaks the person in Scripture, and d) because it is patterned/repetitive it becomes engrained.

Ten years later, #ErinHawley, 44, is now at the center of one of the country’s most heated cultural battles about #BodilyAutonomy, #GenderRoles & #abortion. On Tues, for the first time since the overturning of #RoeVWade, #SCOTUS considered a case involving #nationwide limits on #abortion #access. And Ms. Hawley was the woman standing before the justices, arguing to sharply curtail access to the #AbortionPill.

The woman arguing against #mifepristone, the #AbortionPill, before #SCOTUS is #ErinHawley, the wife of Sen #JoshHawley & a #law prof.

Ms. Hawley, is a lawyer for a #conservative #Christian #legal group, & identifies as an #evangelical, a wife & a mother. [#TradWife]

“Letha Dawson Scanzoni, an #evangelical author who argued, gently but persuasively, that the Bible considered women equal to men, inspiring a wave of #Christian #feminism and, perhaps inevitably, a backlash against it, died on Jan. 9 in Charlotte, N.C. She was 88.” [NYT 2/224] Her work was of enormous help to me in the 1970’s and 1980’s in my conversations with evangelical students at #WellesleyCollege when I served there as College Chaplain. –HPS

#TheRapture is one of those serendipitous finds that used to make #CableTV so satisfying for me.

The best thing (along with #FullBodyMassage) that I've seen #MimiRogers in, and also my introduction to #DavidDuchovny.

The post-80's #evangelical theme is, sadly, still timely. I don't know if the rest will hold up.

I do know that ending has stuck with me more than 30 years and is why #TheCriterionChannel has it in 90's #horror.
