“Meanwhile, this is a prediction: In coming weeks and months, the Evangelical Intelligentsia will lament with great sorrow and at great volume, that Donald Trump has surrounded himself with evangelicals who have sub-standard doctrine. They will, with the weeping and gnashing of teeth, see that he has surrounded himself with the likes of Paula White or Mark Driscoll. That’s their fault. They own that. Evangelicals who opposed Trump need to sit in time-out. In the corner. With their nose in it.”
(Protestia) Woke evangelicals, who have opposed Donald Trump every step of the journey, are busying trying to offer advice to the new regime. Don’t let them.
Beginning in 2013, with the coronation of Russell Moore at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the Evangelical Intelligentsia presented itself as the helpful companions of the Obama Administration and only reluctant co-belligerents (at best) with the rest of us.
Richard Land, despite his faults, made clear during his tenure at the ERLC (1998-2013) that the Southern Baptist Convention was an ally of the political right. Moore, a lifelong Democrat, had a different approach, and immediately set about to convince impressionable seminarians that our best bet was remove ourselves from partisanship. Why? Something-something gospel-centered something something.
CRN has compiled a list of false teachers and several other professing Christians we’ve warned you about over the years. The list also contains those we must keep an eye on plus movements, organizations and “frauds, phonies and money-grubbing religious quacks” to mark and avoid as per Romans 16:17-18 such as Russell Moore, Paula White & Mark Driscoll.
