POLITICAL SUBVERSION MOVING CHRISTIANS INTO DEMOCRAT PARTY FOLD
[Thirty
Pieces of Silver] Midterm elections demonstrate that the classic battle
lines are being redrawn among Evangelical voters. Ongoing and concerted
efforts through American conservative Christian seminaries, churches
and secular mainstream media are intensifying to reshape the foundations
and convictions which drive the Evangelical vote. Leadership continues
to come from trusted ministers like Tim Keller of The Gospel Coalition
and The Southern Baptist / ERLC’s Russell Moore. Formerly the efforts
were to detract from conservatives but now the push is to openly abandon
pro-life/pro-family Republicans and endorse Democrat candidates.
KEY EVANGELICALS COLLUDE WITH MAINSTREAM MEDIA
Tim Keller’s recent opinion piece in the New York Times provides
a look at some of the rhetoric being engaged in. Keller asks, “What
role should Christians play in politics?” and asserts that “more people
than ever are asking this question.” He goes onto say, “While believers
can register under a party affiliation and can be active in politics
(thanks for the permission Dr. Keller) they should not identify the
Christian church or faith with a political party as the only Christian
one.” Keller then quotes British ethicist James Mumford who
warns against “package -deal ethics “ that come with party affiliation.
Keller omits that Mumford works at The Centre for Social Justice in
London and stateside with Keller’s friends at The Institute for Advanced
Studies in Culture. Mumford’s work touts Critical Theory and the
Marxist Frankfurt School inspiration from which Keller and Mumford (as
well as the IASC) draw their rhetoric of false social justice while
attacking individualism, conservative “Culture Wars” and capitalism.
ARE BETO VOTERS AMONG TEXAS EVANGELICALS REFLECTIVE OF A TREND?
Another New York Times piece
by Faith and Values Correspondent Elizabeth Dias featured recent
interviews with five Texas Evangelical moms troubled by Christians’ past
voting loyalties. Dias says, “All are longtime Republican voters,
solely because they oppose abortion rights. Only one of them broke ranks
to vote for Hillary in 2016. But this November, they have all decided
to vote for Mr. O’Rourke.” While written as a random sampling of
evangelical Texas Women reflecting a “trend,“ the NYT piece proves less
than honest.
Radio host Janet Mefferd researched and found that at least three
of the “Beto Moms” are tied to Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas
where pastor Matt Chandler preaches for social justice / against white
privilege and is a leader in both Keller’s TGC and Moore’s ERLC. Also
revealed by Mefferd’s research is that these women play activist roles
in refugee resettlement “ministries”- one even received $20,000 in one
year from Village Church.
The progressive Christian left has been awash in George
Soros funding as revealed years ago by American Association of
Evangelicals – “Rent an Evangelical.”
Today
we see the same funding agenda spilling over and trickling down through
the Conservative Christian community through ministries like World
Relief, Evangelical Immigration Table (of which Moore is a member) as
well as denominational mission objectives. Is this funding inspiring
these Evangelicals’ progressive politics? Dias points to the obvious
hopeful payoff. “To democrats nationwide who have largely written off
white evangelical voters, it also sends a signal -not just for midterms
but also for the 2020 presidential campaign …”
THE GOSPEL COALITION HIRES OBAMA FAITH SPOKESMAN
Former
Obama administration Faith Based and reelection campaign Faith Outreach
Coordinator Michael Wear is now working with Keller’s TGC. Wear’s book
sports endorsements from Keller and Evangelical leaders Russell Moore,
Andy Stanley, Ann Voskamp and fellow Obama spiritual advisor Joel
Hunter. Wear is also writing for TGC on topics like “Holding the Christian Ethic Together.”
ERLC MIDTERM ROUNDTABLE
The young lobbyist of Russell Moore for ERLCs DC offices recently hosted Nashville ERLC employee Brent Leatherwood for a midterm roundtable discussion.
Leatherwood was hired by Moore after Tennessee GOP officials tired of
his team’s subversive work which almost bankrupted the TN Republican
Party. In the Roundtable video the ERLC crew discuss the likelihood of
the Democrat Party retaking the House in 2018.They then focus on the
Senate seats up for grabs by Democrats. The ERLC team recommends voter
resources like CNN where Moore frequently appears alongside prime time
anchors including CNN Marxist /Obama pal Vann Jones. ERLC also
recommends NBC, and The Cook Political Report by Charles Cook -a
favorite of left leaning outlets ABC/ NBC/ NY Times /Washington Post.
CONCLUSION
The
face of conservative Christian political engagement is changing rapidly
by covert and overt forces from within. The steady creep of diluted
doctrine and progressive social justice has weakened a generation of
Christians’ resolve and conviction. Liberal mainstream media now have
partners deep within the Evangelical leadership moving the church to
embrace leftist policy and political candidates. The loss of the
evangelical base, once complete, will prove catastrophic to the
Conservative movement in America as well as to personal and religious
freedom. A rapid and sustained movement must be organized to counter
this subversive revolution against Christian Conservatism.
