Subject by subject, I found the amount of error among Evangelicals varied in Magan Basham’s expose. In the case of the “Me too” sexual misbehavior and cover ups to make it worse, the Evangelical church showed its sinful humanity and honest measures of self-policing. On other issues, where it goes from bad to worse, there’s a recurring theme. The ministers of the Gospel are preaching beyond their expertise. They are out of their lane. They really don’t know what they are talking about.
The theologians’ take on climate change is uninformed by earth sciences, economics, and statistics. Likewise, their views on illegal aliens and CRT and DEI is absent degrees in political science, history, international relations, anthropology, and sociology. Their Covid-19 tyranny culpability was minus basic biology and medical science expertise. Appallingly, their softness, if not open support for abortion and LBGTQ, hides the blatant anti-Biblical aspects to play on emotions and claim a false separation of church and state – as well as a false fealty to elected officials.
The hue and cry about God’s role in appointing leaders and our role of obedience is out of whack. The Lord’s rare use of His explicit will and the more often case of implicit will doesn’t explain the outcome of American elections. In former times, the Sovereign reigned and the subjects obeyed. That ruling relationship changed in 1776 in the US and was codified in 1787 where the individual American is the sovereign of the state. Elected officials represent us or serve as executives with limited powers and authorities expressly delegated to them from us as written in our Constitutions. The “rulers” are our employees.
Consequently, the Sovereign sits in the pews. The Sovereign needs to chose wisely in selecting who to hire to wield the sword as Paul puts it. The same responsibility falls to the Believer, not the preacher, to decide what’s what on every issue.
In the case of Climate hysteria, Megan Basham connects us with the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation and Profesor Cal Beisner. Covid-19 has the Great Barrington Declaration.
There’s the Evangelicals for Biblical Immigration to counter the mega-bucks the Republicans in Congress keep spending to enrich the “NGOs” profiting from the illegal alien invasion with every continuing budget compromise.
The false arguments on abortion and race – DEI and CRT – are shredded by Voddie Baucham and Thomas Sowell. See Rosario Butterfield when it comes to LGBTQ.
There’s no megaphone media alternative to the current Christian media. Basham’s book is one strong voice which bears reporting and repeating.
Basham didn’t discuss one significant subject – Islam. There’s no Biblical ecumenical embrace for Islam. There’s every reason to love Muslims as individual human beings as God does and love them to Christ while opposing Islam itself as forcefully as every Christian defender from Charles Martel in 732 through the 800 year Reconquista to the last Muslim military offensive and defeat at the Gates of Vienna in 1688.
Judaism and Christianity are the twin helical of Western Civilization DNA and our American culture and Civilization. Islam is the antithesis and implacable enemy of Western Civilization. Evangelicals need to read the Koran, Hadith, and a lot of history to not sell out our birthright of freedom. Islam is 800 years behind the West. It is barbaric to the West. It’s savagery was seen on October 7th for even the politically-correct blind to see.
Religion in America is one of seven institutions which define America. We’ve been in an open Culture War since 1962. It started back with the ideas of the French Revolution in 1790. Our Protestant Evangelical Church is a prime target of the Human Secularist Totalitarians.
Read the theses Megan Basham nailed to the church door. Hold the people she named accountable for their words. Offer them Grace. Don’t continue to cotton to Cultural Marxist claptrap however nicely it’s presented as love your neighbor, compassion, empathy, or false grace.
Read and speak The Word. Spread the Gospel.
