By now you’ve probably heard of Megan Basham’s book Shepherds for Sale, or read at least one of articles about it (here or here). We know for a fact that Democrat billionaires like George Soros and Pierre Omidyar are funding evangelical “influencers” to confuse and divide the church. (Just look at how divided the Church has become over gay marriage and in vitro fertilization!) These far-left foundations know that biblically solid Christians will vote Republican to protect both the unborn and children being indoctrinated in public schools by perverse ideology — but not if they can confuse and divide the Body of Christ first.
We believe it’s important to draw attention to these 30-pieces-of-silver transactions and the people selling the Body of Christ to the highest bidder, and so does the American Association of Evangelicals. (This is the alternative to the National Association of Evangelicals, which started going woke long before wokeness became a trend.) The group has written a letter warning pastors and citizens to resist the manipulation from the likes of Russell Moore, Michael Wear, and David French. The AAE has been watching carefully as a crucial segment of the American church sat under siege with pastors who have conformed to the world.
The New America Foundation (NAF), a think tank funded by George Soros, calls its social-change model “Rent-an-Evangelical,” which you can check out for yourself on AAE’s website; you can also sign the letter there and share it with your friends and family.
In the video, you can hear Rev. Jim Wallis of Sojourners deny taking funds from Soros; however, Soros’s own Open Society Foundation grants were discovered and made public. Wallis later replied that he simply forgot about receiving the grant money.
Read the Letter
The AAE’s letter is masterful. In speaking of these infiltrators, the group writes,
Such actors harm people and nations. They seek to redefine Christianity by cherry-picking Bible words. “Love your neighbor” is crudely used to promote abortion. The Left’s “love” is not God’s love. “Social justice” is not true justice. Their “rainbow” is not God’s rainbow. Their “sanctuary city” is not real sanctuary. “Welcome the stranger” is not the full biblical teaching on immigration, which is [the AAE’s alternative policy] “Wise Welcome.” Citizens have rights to speak up for personal convictions, as this letter shows, but dark money should be exposed by truth and sunlight.
This dangerous infiltration is also happening through a curriculum known as the “The After Party,” designed to target evangelicals in “battleground states.” The Stream previously shared how to dismantle this nonsense here.
Pastors are unaware that its leaders often malign conservative candidates and voters. Its funding? Far-Left Rockefeller and One America Movement, a pass-through for big money from Tides, Hewlett, Walton and Pritzker foundations that fund Planned Parenthood, transgenderism, LGBTQ+ for rural America and more.
The AAE asks:
What child and family would Jesus destroy? What nation would He deceive? It has our attention when once-trusted voices now align with a political party that advocates infanticide (9-month abortion), Marxism with Islam, censorship, antisemitism, and open borders with crime and death.
What have the last three years under the Biden-Harris administration given us that Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz seem to want to continue?
- Democrats push open borders, welcoming criminals, and letting noncitizens vote.
- A radical stance on abortion, harm to women, the decline of marriage and plummeting birth rates.
- Overwhelming national debt with an unsustainable rise in social spending.
- Threats to the rule of law and judicial system.
- Hundreds of billions of tax dollars sent to foreign nations without accountability.
- Pornography, sexual instruction in K-12 classrooms, and the physical mutilation of children.
- Governmental agencies weaponized against citizens who are perceived as political opponents.
- Billions of taxpayer dollars sent to Iran despite its stated goals to wipe both Israel and America off the map. The Biden-Harris administration also fund the terrorist groups Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.
- Escalating wars, a weakened military, less support for Israel, and growing antisemitism on our own shores.
Do Something!
As the AAE eloquently states,
The Gospel of Jesus and His followers are the core strength of any nation. To corrupt the Church is to stop the heart and mind of a nation. Opponents know that our weakness is their greater power. We know that many faith groups began well. We now help Christian institutions return to mission. We know that the Kingdom of God is bigger than politics, and corruption must end on every side.
Please read this letter, sign the petition, share it with friends, and pray for our nation to be protected from enemy who is seeking to steal, kill, and destroy us all.
