https://www.patreon.com/worldviewconversation Tucker Carlson called out Tim Keller, David French, and Beth Moore last night on his show for failing to stand up against attacks on Christianity. The specific attack Carlson references involves Derek Reimer, a the pastor in Calgary who was just arrested for mischief and causing a disturbance after forcible removal from protesting a Drag Queen Story Hour event at Seton Library. Of course, Tucker is most certainly referring to more than this. Organizations like The Gospel Coalition, the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission for the SBC pursue compelling, even winsome approaches to being Christians in a world attacking Christianity. Yet they fail to pursue brave conviction or prophetic confrontation. Instead, they throw cold water on the flames of righteous indignation arising from the pews. In Canada, this posture saw its fullest fruition during the lockdowns as pastors were thrown in jail for holding worship services even with health precautions while institutional evangelical elites decided to side with the tyrannical regime. Pastor Paul Carter told Canadian Christians from the pages of the Gospel Coalition that they had endured no “hostility and ill-treatment because of [their] religious beliefs.” This is why some call such pastors regime evangelicals instead of pastors. We of course see this general trend toward siding with the regime against politically conservative believers constantly. Andrew Walker tells us from the pages of World Magazine that “2020 . . . was not stolen.” Joe Carter accused Christians of entertaining conspiracy theories if they believed the now vindicated lab-leak theory. Beth Moore said she had “never seen anything in these United States of America [she] found more astonishingly seductive and dangerous to the saints of God than Trumpism.” David French called the freedom to hold a “Drag Queen Story Hour . . . one of the blessings of liberty.” Russell Moore is constantly chiding evangelicals for their failure to support soft-immigration policies. The list goes on and on. But, the issues are becoming more serious. We are no longer talking about the false bravery it takes to denounce a Confederate symbol or make LGBTQ+ people feel welcome in a Sunday Service. We are reaching a pivotal social moment in which freedom to publicly be a rudimentary Christian is under attack. In Ireland, a teacher named Enoch Burke, who has been a guest on the Conversations That Matter podcast, was thrown into jail for failing to use preferred pronouns. Stories like these do not even make a ripple in major Christian publications committed to appeasing elite sentiments. If anything, it appears that the Enouch Burkes and Derek Reimers of the world are an embarrassment to regime evangelicals. Those who study history should be very concerned. Many Lutherans in Nazi Germany adopted a similar posture of appeasement. So did many Catholics in Central America. The best way to ensure survival is to prove one’s loyalty to the current fad by ingratiating oneself to power. Of course, this is the opposite of what Jesus and His disciples did. They defied the powers of their day and showed where their true allegiance lay. Today, we must pray for our persecuted brothers, receive whatever persecution comes our way as Christians, and fight as hard as possible to uphold truth and righteousness in the public square. That’s one of the things this podcast is concerned with. It is because of you and countless smaller blogs and podcasts that someone like Tucker Carlson even knows who the regime evangelical are. We are making a difference but we cannot stop. In the end, God wins, why should we fear man?
