Rev Thomas Littleton 11-2-2019
The Gospel Coalition is collaborating with the Obama Foundation’s “Ambassador to America’s Believers Michael Wear and the radical – SOCIAL JUSTICE racial “& CAMPAIGN”. The first two stories revealing this bizarre collaboration are linked below. This movement gets even more bizarre as we enter the 2020 election cycle .
The leaders of the Southern Baptist ,along with entities like Desiring God ( Passion Conferences ) and The Gospel Coalition have long used “Christian Hip Hop ” to platform young minorities billed as modern day prophets to the church and attract young white and minority audiences for their urban church planting strategies . Never mind these SBC/ TGC leaders look like the nerdy white boys trying to appear “with it” -“hip”- because in reality Hip Hop culture does not fit with their tightly managed “reformed theologian scholars” image. Still there is a payoff for the “nerdy urds” of SBC/ TGC/ PCA leaders.
Having corralled the urban interest and placed the soundtrack of “Christian Hip Hop ” to the TGC brand of reformed theology and folded in a HEAVY DOSE of social justice false gospel – these change agent leaders from two major conservative Christian denominations (the SBC and PCA and others ) are attempting to migrate the young whites , African American and Hispanic minorities right into the “Obama Foundations Ambassador to America’s Believers ” Michael Wear and the “&CAMPAIGN” movement. The effort is so seamless it goes almost unnoticed .
TGC OLD WHITE BOY LEADERSHIP OPERATE LIKE SLAVE TRADERS SAILING THEIR JUSTICE GOSPEL SHIP.
Like the slave traders of old, TGC white evangelical leaders have loaded the cargo hold of their neo-reformed justice gospel ship with the souls of a generation and launched for foreign shores to sell them off and sell out their FAITH . Destination ? Securing their target cargo into the Democratic plantations where minorities have long been used and pandered to for votes for decades by people who care nothing about their real “urban plight ” or the lives or FAITH of those its slave trade ships have trafficked .
Some of these key TGC leaders have no doubt learned their skills from the Democratic strategist . Some of the TGC are simply nothing more than Democratic Party/ Obama representatives . While others in TGC may simply be just practitioners of the world’s oldest profession …and will bed down with anyone for a few dollars.

A HISTORY IN TGC’s ROLE IN “CHRISTIAN HIP HOP”
The Gospel Coalition and John Piper have been major promoters of the Christian Hip Hop scene .
SBC’s NAMB (North American Missions Board) RAPZILLA AND REACH RECORDS have been at the cutting edge of this neo reformed + Christian Hip Hop movement as Desiring God and TGC have featured the artist in their events , conferences , and publications for well over a decade .
SBC’S NORTH AMERICAN MISSION BOARD IS A SIGNIFICANT PARTNER
NAMB leader D A Horton is a leader in the &CAMPAIGN. Multiple other & CAMPAIGN leaders are in the NAMB urban church planting leadership as well as TGC.
https://andcampaign.org/leadership
Horton has a long history in the Christian Hip Hop world working with Reach Records and was once the head of Atlanta based Reach Records non profit “Reach Life Ministries” . RLM is now shut down it’s remains converted into use with an urban school .
Reach Records deactivates ReachLife, shifts support to local school
D A Horton is a NAMB Send Network Church planter in Longbeach CA and a long time NAMB/ SEND leader . He is also an ERLC contributor for Russell Moore. ( more on Moore later )

“D.A. Horton serves as Pastor of Reach Fellowship a church plant in North Long Beach, CA & as Chief Evangelist for the Urban Youth Workers Institute (UYWI). Prior to his current roles, he served as an urban church planter/pastor in Kansas City, Missouri, a National Coordinator of Urban Student Ministries at the North American Mission Board (NAMB) and the Executive Director at ReachLife Ministries, the non-profit ministry of Reach Records.”
“REBRANDING THE SBC” A PROUD HORTON AND NAMB
D A Horton boasted in a 2016 interview about rebranding of the SBC by (TGC )leaders like Russell Moore- David Platt . Urban Church Planting and Hip Hop culture have played a significant part of the “REBRANDING ” which Horton is so proud of in the SBC.
“Why I engage the SBC”
“To this day I’m often asked, “D.A. why are you still involved with the SBC?” My answer is simple; I walk them through the progress I’ve witnessed regarding my five convictions.”
- “Ministry leadership at; the ERLC, NAMB and IMB – Dr. Russell Moore, Kevin Ezell and David Platt have been game changers regarding the rebranding process of the SBC in the eyes of ethnic minorities. Not only have initiatives been created to recruit, train and send qualified minorities on the field for service, key leadership positions with influence and decision making capacities have been extended to competent and qualified emerging minority leaders.”

NOTE THE THIRD WAY POLITICS AND ANTI TRUMP FOCUS
About
“No one saw the 2016 presidential election coming. No one predicted the effect the election would have on the country—and the Church. To some extent, our tribalism has been exposed and perhaps deepened. Unity has become more fragile.
In all likelihood, the Church will face the same stark choices and the same potential for misunderstanding, disunity and tribal politics. This time, however, we have an opportunity to approach politics and the election differently… like Christians… like the pilgrims and aliens we are in the world.
The goal of Just Gospel 2020 is NOT to engage in partisan debate or endorse any party’s platform. Nor is our goal to bind the consciences of attendees to a particular policy prescription the Bible does not require. We will not recommend or even comment on any candidate.
The Just Gospel 2020 conference goal is to help Christians think biblically and deeply about being Christians and taking our Christian identity and perspective into our political lives. We hope to aid each other in our discipleship. We are “strangers and exiles on the earth” who “desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one” (Heb. 11:13, 16). We hope to model how Christians who differ in secondary and political matters can nevertheless do so charitably and in a way that preserves both unity and freedom of conscience. We hope to make a difference—for the Church and the country.
We need and want healing conversations that serve the Church We need pilgrim politics that bear witness to Christ and Kingdom to which we are headed. Join us!”

BUT THE DO SEE THE 2020 ELECTION AND UNTHINKABLE RE-ELECTION OF PRESIDENT TRUMP WHO TGC /ERLC AND THEIR LEADERSHIP HAVE FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL.

CONCLUSION
THE ACTUAL GOAL OF THIS ENTIRE HIP HOP /TGC URBAN MOVEMENT POLITICAL .IT IS DESIGNED TO MOVE THE SBC /PCA AND CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS TO THE LEFT – WELL PAST CENTER.
THE COLLABORATION WITH “&CAMPAIGN ” SHOWS NOT A MIDDLE OF THE ROAD POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT BUT FULL ON RUSH INTO THE OBAMA POLITICS OF THE PROGRESSIVE FAR LEFT VIA LEADERSHIP FROM MICHAEL WEAR IN THE TGC AND & CAMPAIGN .
How long will Christians accept any of the TGC’s work or people at face value ? How long will they continue to SUCCESSFULLY USE minorities and minority culture and even “Christian Hip Hop ” to appeal to and corral young hearts and minds to enable their own vision?
If you are in the WOKE- then you need to awaken . You are being used by plantation owners of a slightly different sort -yet all to the same self serving ends for those who wish to traffic you -your life- your dreams and your faith .Eternity is hanging in the balances while tgc leaders court nickels and noses in a political sell out.
Proverbs 23:
6 Do not eat the bread of a[b] miser,
Nor desire his delicacies;
7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
“Eat and drink!” he says to you,
But his heart is not with you.
8 The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up,
And waste your pleasant words.

TGC’s “URBAN PASTORS UNITE” WITH “& CAMPAIGN” FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE and OBAMA FAITH AMBASSADOR .
MICHAEL WEAR PROVIDES EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TO THE ” & (AND) CAMPAIGN ” WHICH INTENDS TO “DISRUPT AMERICAN ELECTIONS WITH STRONG BIBLICAL (social justice ) WITNESS” !
BY Rev Thomas Littleton 1/-31-2019
As already shown in previous writings The Gospel Coalition has been in collaboration with the Obama administration’s Michael Wear. Those ties have now been strengthened going into the 202o election through several political alliances promoting social Justice and Moral Order -i e, Racial Equity – Religious Liberty in context with LGBTQ Rights- Socialized Healthcare – and Open Borders Immigration . Of course the 5 goals are placed in far more likable terminology to evangelicals .
(Part 1 of this story here )
LEADERSHIP OF THE ” & Campaign”
https://andcampaign.org/leadership
MICHAEL
WEAR
(FROM & CAMPAIGN WEBSITE )
“Michael Wear serves as Chief Strategist and member of the executive leadership team for The AND Campaign. ”
“As one of President Obama’s “ambassadors to America’s believers” (Buzzfeed), Michael directed faith outreach for President Obama’s historic 2012 re-election campaign. Michael was also one of the youngest White House staffers in modern American history: he served in the White House faith-based initiative during President Obama’s first term, where he led evangelical outreach and helped manage The White House’s engagement on religious and values issues, including adoption and anti-human trafficking efforts.”
“He founded Public Square Strategies LLC, a consulting firm that helps religious organizations, political organizations, businesses and others effectively navigate the rapidly changing American religious and political landscape.”
“Michael is the author of Reclaiming Hope: Lessons Learned in the Obama White House About the Future of Faith in America. He also writes for The Atlantic, Christianity Today, USA Today, Relevant Magazine and other publications on faith, politics and culture. He holds an honorary position at the University of Birmingham’s Cadbury Center for the Public Understanding of Religion. He is also a Senior Fellow at The Trinity Forum. Michael and his wife, Melissa, are both proud natives of Buffalo, New York. They now reside in Washington, D.C.”

FOUNDERS
THE LAWYER | THE PASTOR | THE ARTIST
“Amidst the multitude of issues impacting the Church, the arts and the political landscape, God led a Pastor, an Artist, and a Lawyer to gather a coalition of biblical Christians to engage in their context. In doing so, the AND Campaign has united with faith leaders and influencers around the country that reflect biblical values and God’s heart for social justice.”

IS & CAMPAIGN THE POLITICS OF THE GOSPEL COALITION? APPEARS TO BE SO.
(FROM THE & CAMPAIGN WEBSITE )
2020 PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION STATEMENT
PREAMBLE
“The upcoming presidential election marks a significant decision point for our nation. This moral moment requires principled conviction from politicians, but even more so from the American people. Christians have a particular obligation to provide this moral leadership. No candidate will be perfect, but Christians can hold both parties accountable to a vision for the common good that is not fully represented in either party platform. “
“While a misappropriation of the separation between Church and State has sometimes been used to suggest people of faith are the only people who can’t consider their values when participating in politics, we know that both our faith and the demands of citizenship require that we bring our full selves to the project of self-governance. “
“Our Christian faith’s call to recognize the image of God in every person and to love our neighbor as ourselves compels us to speak into the public square to promote social justice and moral order. We have a spiritual responsibility as followers of Jesus to seek common ground and the common good. We are obligated to protect the vulnerable and defend human dignity even of those with whom we disagree. “
“At its best, the church should be a beacon of light to our nation, illuminating the systemic and institutional injustices that must be removed for our Union to thrive, while also modeling the possibility of a more just way. It should also be a moral anchor that refuses to sacrifice virtue and righteousness at the altar of political expediency. We have seen this in our past: When the mechanisms of government failed to disassemble slavery and later Jim Crow, church-led movements shocked and recalibrated the conscience of a derelict nation. Conversely, when the church has failed to act or has imposed its own injustices, the nation and the promise of democracy suffered dearly.”
“We assert the following convictions to the candidates seeking the presidential nominations of their political party, so that they know what we believe to be some of the primary issues facing our country and that they might respond to these concerns. And we state these convictions to our fellow Christians—indeed, all Americans—so that they might inform the way we advocate and vote in the upcoming election. “
THE HEALTH OF OUR DEMOCRACY
“By disregarding standards of decency and good faith, the current administration has significantly lowered our nation’s discourse and endangered the political process. This president’s callousness—especially toward non-white Americans and vulnerable citizens—his fomenting of chaos as Commander-in-Chief, and his cavalier attitude toward rule of law and basic norms of civility all undermine social cohesion, civic trust, and our very democracy. “
RACE AND VOTER RIGHTS
“America was built by enslaved people and immigrant workers who brought the country closer to its founding ideals through their sacrifices and protests. And yet racial discrimination has pervaded American public policy and the law since our nation’s inception, and its effects continue today. People of color still haven’t fully recovered from the War on Drugs and a myriad of other government sanctioned efforts that devastated communities and weakened families. We must address racial disparities in education, poverty-levels, healthcare, environmental quality, and the criminal justice system head on. Central to that effort must be the vigilant protection of voting rights. Voting should be fair, accessible, and convenient for all eligible American citizens, and enfranchisement should extend to former felons who have paid their debt to society. “
THE POOR AND PRO-FAMILY ECONOMIC POLICIES
“America can’t disregard poor people in policymaking. We need creative anti-poverty policies that work in tandem with, not in opposition to, other institutions, including the family and the church. We believe in the dignity of work, and that workers should receive a livable wage. Education should be accessible and equitable for all children. Paid family leave and enhanced child tax credits are both family-oriented policies that relieve the burden on hard working parents and create opportunities for them to invest more time and resources into their children and loved ones. In order for families—and indeed, the nation—to thrive, women must be free from discrimination, harassment and abuse. “
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND LGBTQ RIGHTS
“All attempts to remove more traditional religious beliefs from the public square should be opposed. We, like many other Americans, affirm the historic Christian sexual ethic, and we also believe that religious freedom and LGBTQ civil rights are not necessarily in irreconcilable conflict. Faith-based charities, hospitals and colleges should not have to choose between surrendering their convictions and closing their doors. At the same time, LGBTQ people should not lose jobs and housing because of how they identify. We must pursue ways to disagree and live together without bullying or compromising our conscience. Towards that end, we encourage all 2020 candidates to support the Fairness for All Act, which will grant basic civil rights for LGBTQ people while also protecting religious freedom for all faiths. “
IMMIGRATION
“The Trump administration has failed to treat undocumented immigrants with dignity and care, especially at the U.S.-Mexico border. In light of God’s special concern for the immigrant and the sojourner, we are deeply dissatisfied with the federal government’s continued negligence when it comes to passing comprehensive immigration reform. The current administration’s willingness to use draconian, manipulative measures to stoke fear in immigrant communities and pit family members against one another is reprehensible. Our government must seek to be both just and compassionate regarding immigration policy, especially in protecting Dreamers and upholding longstanding laws regarding refugees fleeing violence, lawlessness and oppression. “
HEALTHCARE AND ABORTION
“We believe in building a society that respects human dignity at all stages of life, including the unborn. This includes accessible and affordable health care for everyone. Americans should not go bankrupt because they get sick or die because their medication is exorbitantly expensive. This includes policies that support maternal health and address our nation’s high rate of maternal mortality, especially among Black and Native American women. It includes vigilant prosecution of pregnancy discrimination in education and the workplace. It is essential that the sanctity of human life at every stage, in particular in the womb, is defended vigorously. Abortion is a tragedy, not a social good, that should be vehemently discouraged rather than promoted. “
CONCLUSION
“Our nation desperately needs Christians to live out their faith in this political sphere for the good of all Americans, and the 2020 presidential candidates need to hear, respond to, and respect our voice and earn our vote. Through advocacy and protest, we are committed to supporting candidates, no matter their political affiliation, when they promote civility and human dignity, and we will actively oppose politicians, policies, and parties when they undermine these values.”

Tim Keller and D A Carson you have created a political MONSTER with an Insatiable Appetite . What IT is devouring is the Gospel for the hearts and minds of a generation and its endless appeasement and inclusion will not bode well for the church or the Gospel in American culture for the future . This is mainly because it is not derived from the Word of God but from the very declining culture it seeks to improve- include- appease.
Your deeds are being recorded in the Chronicles of HEAVEN and will not go overlook at the Judgement Seat. TGC IS A COALITION OF SOMETHING BUT THIS IS NOT THE GOSPEL.

TGC EMPLOYS OBAMA “AMBASSADOR TO AMERICA’S BELIEVERS” FOR 2020
MICHEAL WEAR AND HIS FORMER BOSS ARE TARGETING EVANGELICALS CONCERNED OVER WOKE BY ACTING CONCERNED OVER WOKE WHILE WOKE AS WOKE CAN BE.
Rev Thomas Littleton 10-30-2019
How politically gullible are many evangelical Christians today? Recent efforts to manipulate the conservative and the WOKE base appear to be glaringly obvious so we might at least assume that the most dedicated progressive political operatives think we are virtually clueless.

RECENT STORY FROM BUSINESS INSIDER
HEADLINE
FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA USES HIS FOUNDATIONS MEETING AS A MEDIA MOMENT TO THE WOKE GENERATION
“Obama laid into young people being ‘politically woke’ and ‘as judgmental as possible’ in a speech about call-out culture”
“Former President Barack Obama derided “call-out culture” in a speech at the Obama Foundation summit on Tuesday, saying achieving real change was more complex than being “as judgmental as possible.”
“This idea of purity and you’re never compromised and you’re always politically woke and all that stuff — you should get over that quickly,” Obama told a crowd in Chicago.”
“He added: “I do get a sense sometimes now among certain young people, and this is accelerated by social media, that the way of me making change is to be as judgmental as possible about other people and that’s enough.”
“Like if I tweet or hashtag about how you didn’t do something right, or used the wrong verb, then I can sit back and feel pretty good about myself because: ‘Man, did you see how woke I was? I called you out.'”
“The world is messy,” the 44th US president said. “There are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws. People who you are fighting may love their kids and, you know, share certain things with you.”
“That is not activism,” he concluded. “That is not bringing about change. If all you’re doing is casting stones, you are probably not going to get that far.”
A WARNING ON WOKE MARKETING
FOX NEWS COVERED THE STORY
https://www.foxnews.com/media/tomi-lahren-barack-obama-woke-liberals
“There’s something wrong in the Democratic Party when former president Barack Obama is “looking like the voice of reason” to Republicans, Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren said Wednesday.”
“Appearing on “Fox & Friends” with hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade, Lahren said that “that’s when you know the Democratic Party has gotten this bad.”

WOKE EVANGELICALS AND TGC
Woke Is . . .
APRIL 16, 2018 | Thabiti Anyabwile
“Yesterday a dear brother asked me, “What do you think about woke church?” Seems these days all my blogging is answering questions of one sort or another. And this seems like a good question to answer publicly, since there’s so much talk about being “woke” or “wokeness” from both advocates and opponents.”
“I’m not sure this adds much to the discussion, but it’s the gist of my answer yesterday.”
Woke: A Lineage
“First, being “woke” isn’t at all new. I know Carl Ellis has been trying to help people understand that in some of his public talks. But it seems a lot of younger people think they’re experiencing something new. Solomon taught a long, long time ago, “there’s nothing new under the sun.”
MICHAEL WEAR LECTURE
Wears snappy screen quote is a bit ironic since HE has found his HOME both in the Obama camp AND in The Gospel Coalition .

This is what it looks like when the most progressive President in US history speaks as the voice of concern to ill informed conservative evangelicals over #WOKE . Lesson Obama’s long time faith outreach guy @MichaelRWear now works for @TGC
In Fact the Obama comments were not directed at young WOKE evangelicals but were on the stage of his Foundation’s event and the WOKE young evangelicals are avid consumers of left wing news outlets. It goes without saying Obama is playing to the self identified ” Woke ” and to those concerned about it in the conservative and evangelical community. Fox News took the bait.

TGC KERN FAMILY FOUNDATION AND MICHAEL WEAR
Greg Forster of Kern Family Foundation and Oikonomia Network which funds and coordinates on campus “Social Justice” and “Faith and Work” programs in TGC affiliated seminaries in the Southern Baptist and conservative Presbyterian circles is offering Hope for evangelicals while promoting Wears work to TGC audience .

GREG FORSTER IN 2017 – “WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS… (NOT LOVE SWEET LOVE BUT)….MORE DEMOCRATS LIKE MICHAEL WEAR “
“If you asked me what the American republic needs most right now, at least at the human level, I would say: “more Democrats like Michael Wear.” And if you asked me what the American church needs most right now, on the human level, I would say: “more Democrats like Michael Wear.” Wear’s Reclaiming Hope: Lessons Learned in the Obama White House About the Future of Faith in America is more than just another good political memoir; it’s a window into how Christianity can find its way back toward a faithful and responsible participation in American public life.”
Hope in a Polarized Age
“Wear is an evangelical Christian whose faith led him to seek justice and mercy in the world, and he sees that fulfilled through his work as a progressive Democrat. But he also longs to overcome polarization and find ways to work with conservative Republicans—including a candid assessment of our persistent disagreements—in order to move forward together toward the justice and mercy we all seek.”
“Wear identifies three tangible ways our Christian hope points the way to political hope:
- commitment—active involvement in pursuing the authentic good of our communities rather than withdrawing into selfish isolation;
- justice—a firm conviction, expressed in action, that doing right is better than doing well; and
- humility—overcoming the domineering passions of the culture wars and seeking to be of real use to others rather than to be in charge of others.”
Deeper Understanding
“Part of the agenda of Reclaiming Hope is to establish that, in spite of the dysfunctions of the culture war, politics is good; it’s a primary mode of doing justice and mercy in God’s world. ”
FORSTER AND TGC IN PRAISE OF WEAR IN PRAISE OF OBAMA
“This book helped answer a question I and many others have long wrestled with: Why do people love Barack Obama? The admiration of Obama is hard to understand for those of us who have been on the receiving end of his untruths and broken promises, of IRS investigations designed to shut us down illegally, and many other abuses of power. We could see through the “hope and change,” “yes we can” nonsense; why didn’t they?”
“Wear shows that Obama did exceptionally well one of the most important jobs we rely on our political leaders to do: use words to express publicly our national commitment to justice and mercy. One reason America is going south in a handbasket is because very, very few of our political leaders are able to do this well. For those who paid more attention to him than people like me did, Obama did this job masterfully.”
“Unlike most political memoirists, Wear is often delightfully self-aware about his own foibles and those of his colleagues. (At one point he and other volunteers on a long car trip pass the time by singing together; after they sing a somewhat risqué song, one remarks: “This is exactly how Republicans imagine a Democratic faith outreach operation.”)”
“Wear’s defenses of Obama’s decisions are sometimes surprisingly persuasive. I didn’t expect to be convinced that it was good Christian prudence for the Obamas not to become members of a local church in Washington. I’m just about as militant a churchman as you’ll find, but I was persuaded by Wear’s case that a modern president brings through the door with him problems and complications sufficient to severely hamper the worship and community of any congregation he enters.”
Moral Consensus
“Nonetheless, Wear is what the nation needs more of, because the nation can have no moral consensus—no shared basis for doing justice and mercy together—if religion is only welcome in one political party. And he’s what the church needs more of, because the church can’t effectively bear witness for justice and mercy—which it must do in order to preach a gospel of justice and mercy!—if all the faithful Christians are in one political party. My judgment that conservatism (to the small extent it’s still a meaningful word) is preferable to progressivism is far less important than the undeniable fact that what the nation and the church need most is a moral consensus that transcends polarization.”
What the nation and the church need most is a moral consensus that transcends polarization.
“Conservatives and progressives are both defined by their strong sense of alienation from the advanced modern life they see around them; both view modern life as morally empty. Progressives like Wear tend to believe our moral emptiness consists of insufficient concern for the well-being of those in greatest need. Conservatives tend to believe the moral emptiness of modern life consists of an excessive focus on people’s material circumstances as the measurement of their well-being, to the exclusion of personal virtue and authentic spiritual community.”
