In case you haven’t noticed, America’s religious elites believe you are stupid, and they are pulling out all the stops to tell you so in these last few days before the election.
Just listen to the rhetoric coming from those who call themselves Evangelicals for Harris. People such as David French of The New York Times, Russell Moore of Christianity Today and even lesser-known second stringers such as Howard Snyder, a former professor at Asbury Theological Seminary, don’t even try hiding their disdain for your intelligence.… Continue Reading

Donald Trump’s support from self-identified evangelical voters has sparked a debate among Christian leaders over what that term means, and a move to narrow the definition of this term or abandon it altogether.
The civil war within American Christianity that Trump’s candidacy has sparked is similar to the one going on inside the Republican Party, with a particularly large faction dead set against ever supporting Trump.
The split is between a subset of evangelicals best categorized as “creedal” believers — those who take their faith most seriously and who oppose Trump.… Continue Reading
