- This happened. See:
- Eric Metaxas is deceived and is deceiving others.
- He has cut off relationship with those who have tried to talk to him.
- At what point does this make Franklin Graham and Cissie Graham Lynch cringe?
- Surely publishers notice.
Today President Trump was talking with Pennsylvania state senator Doug Mastriano who put him on the phone with Eric Metaxas. Yesterday Mastriano tested positive for covid while meeting with Trump.
@JohnFea1
Doug Mastriano and Eric Metaxas are using extreme, militant, blood-thirsty language. Mastriano wrote an inaccurate book about a war hero. Metaxas wrote an inaccurate book about a martyr. They are who Trump talked to today.

Bob Smietana of Religion News Service documents what is going on with Eric Metaxas.
Some like me are afraid of Metaxas's violent mental state.

But others see his commercials for his children's books and the My Pillow placard in the background and think this must be a con, a scam, a grift.
,
Regardless of whether to Eric Metaxas it is entertainment (a con, scam, grift) or deadly serious as he says and he is duped, his words are indeed dangerous. He is inspiring people to consider violent action.

Mike Pence, Mike Huckabee, James Dobson, Eric Metaxas, Al Mohler, Tony Perkins, Gary Bauer, Hugh Hewitt, and Jay Sekulow were or are radio talk radio hosts. Is there a corrosive effect on humility and reflection when you talk for an hour everyday and try to entertain an audience?
Dave Ramsey, John MacArthur, James MacDonald, Ravi Zacharias, K. P. Yohannan, Greg Laurie, Robert Jeffress, Jack Hibbs, and Skip Heitzig also have shows on Christian radio.
This is a Marshall McLuhan or Neil Postman question: "What if the media and technology we think we are utilizing (like a radio or a YouTube show or a podcast) to broadcast our message to others also changes *us*?"

@phillipmholmes @drantbradley @Fikkert - Kanye West accurately pointed out the three states with the highest proportion of black abortions (MS, GA, AL). Mississippi has the most black people per population so that is not surprising (GA is #3 and AL #6).
@phillipmholmes @drantbradley @Fikkert The maternal mortality stats are not excellent.
But we know black women die more than white (37.1 vs 14.7 deaths per 100,000 live births). nbcnews.com/health/womens-…
Black women in:

MS 51.9

GA 40.8

AL 37.1

@phillipmholmes @drantbradley @Fikkert To reduce the number of abortions, people would need to (a) abstain or (b) utilize contraceptives or (c) be supported sufficiently to have the baby.
a. I argue that hoping for abstention is not a sufficient public health strategy.

When a pastor asked me last night what he should preach this Sunday, I recommended Matthew 5:39 "turn the other cheek."
And Matthew and I are thinking alike I see:
My pastor friend was thinking about teaching his people how to vote in his Sunday sermon without being partisan.

But I have already voted and am thinking about what happens next! I also told him I am praying the Psalms to get through these stressful days (and weeks and months!)

Comments on Wayne Grudem's argument for Donald Trump.
christianpost.com/voices/a-respo…
A social conservative thinks that if LGBTQ behavior and abortions are made illegal or expensive, less people will engage in these behaviors and that will be good for those people and society. Image
However, it seems unlikely that popular opinion will not permit LGBTQ rights like same sex marriage to be rolled back.
