May 9, 2023:
👉MSNBC host Joe Scarborough predicted on Tuesday that the “bill will come due” for Evangelical churches who support Donald Trump and Christian Nationalism. “The bill will come due for a church that embraces Christian nationalism, and embraces a guy who says it may be a good thing that stars can rape women in 2023,” Scarborough said |
Rev. Al Sharpton also weighed in that, unlike in the past, when religious leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. urged John F. Kennedy to support the civil rights movement, no one in the evangelical camp is calling for Trump to “do the right thing”: “The people that ought to be putting the Donald Trumps in check, are checking off the box to vote for Donald Trump,” he said. “Where is their moral barometer?” 5.9.23 |

Feb 22, 2023: Religion News Service: How big Christian nationalism has come courting in North Idaho
A Spokane, Washington-based pastor long associated with the Redoubt is Matt Shea, a former Washington state legislator who has advocated for a “Holy Army.” Shea was expelled from his state’s GOP caucus in 2019 after an investigation concluded he had engaged in domestic terrorism in connection with the 2016 armed takeover of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. He was on hand last June protesting a Pride in the Park celebration organized by LGBTQ rights advocates (including Abbott) in Coeur D’Alene, when police arrested 31 members of Patriot Front — a white supremacist group — in the back of a U-Haul truck, alleging they were planning to riot.
Shea insisted the militia members were actually members of the leftist group antifa, but there was no evidence to support that claim. In fact, at least two of those arrested had connections to Shea’s own church.

Feb 6, 2015: Baptist Press: Obama draws pushback on ISIS, Crusades, slavery
Nina Shea, director of the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom, told Baptist Press that the president's comments "seem to say that he is more worried about possible feelings of Islamophobia from American Christians than the grotesquely brutal religious cleansing against their brethren that is actually taking place by jihadists in various countries." Shea is a former member of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.

Jan 10, 2023: Baptist News Global: The New Apostolic Reformation drove the January 6 riots, so why was it overlooked by the House Select Committee?
But some who were there spoke openly about it. Tim Sheets, the brother of Dutch, told his congregation, “We had a two hour time to pray at the White House and make some decrees that God had given to us. A strategy was given to us from people in the know around there that I cannot really talk about.”

Feb 25, 2023: Oregon Public Broadcasting: The Christian case for fighting climate change is being tested in Eastern Oregon
It’s a conversation pastor Wes Sheley was willing to participate in, if not exactly make his top priority Sheley has preached all around the country for the past 26 years and is now the associate pastor at Pendleton First Assembly of God. He said his congregation has a diverse set of political beliefs and ways of worshiping, but explicit discussions about the environment aren’t common. “I wouldn’t say that we have a lot of conversations about the environment, but we do talk about creation and how God created everything,” he said. |
Science and religion are often depicted as opposing forces in the debate over climate change, but Fargo isn’t afraid to make an explicitly Christian argument for environmentalism that he believes can capture hearts and minds. In conservative Eastern Oregon, which has been battered by wildfires, floods and decades of drought, he’s counting on his message being especially relevant. And researchers are watching Oregon, and rural America at-large, to see if these types of arguments will break through in communities where these issues can sometimes carry political baggage. 2.25.23 |

Mar 31, 2023: Baptist News Global: Evangelical leaders beg DeSantis and Florida Legislature not to make them criminals for transporting immigrants to church
That dilemma would be significant for Christians who take seriously the commandment to love their neighbors as themselves, said Gary Shultz Jr., senior pastor at First Baptist Church in Tallahassee.
“We are called to meet not only spiritual needs, but also physical needs such as food, clothing, health care, financial assistance and transportation. If this bill were enacted as currently drafted, it would place Florida’s Christians and churches in an untenable decision, having to decide between obeying biblical commands or facing criminal penalties for showing biblical compassion.”

Pat Sieler
The purpose of the book of Nahum is to show that in spite of God’s goodness and compassion, He will not leave the guilty unpunished. He is both an avenging God and a merciful God; He is slow to anger, but when He decides to execute judgment, His “wrath is poured out like fire” (Nahum 1:6). God is good, “a refuge in times of trouble” (Nahum 1:7), but for those who do not trust in Him, they will come to a troubled end and nothing they do will succeed (Nahum 1:9). For the city that has been the source of violence and pride, violence will be visited back upon it (Nahum 2). Although Nineveh is strong, God is stronger.
