BIBLICAL CONSERVATIVES IN THE PCA WATCH AS TIME KELLER EXPOSES MORE TIES TO FAR LEFT.
Rev Thomas Littleton 4/20/2020
The & Campaign is a very progressive political group working to move the remaining conservative churches like the Southern Baptist and the PCA leftward . Leadership comes from two political operatives, one a Democratic Party Strategist and the other the Obama Foundation “Ambassador the America’s Believers. & Campaign is push for a progressive reform agenda wrapped in Gospel garb as it touts “Biblical Values & Social Justice”.
The platform for & Campaign calls for softening the churches position from pro life to “discouraging abortion ” and is helping Paul Singer’s organization American Unity Fund push the Mormon / Singer constructed “Fairness for All” LGBTQ compromise over a “redefined ” Religious Liberty. Their movement is also calling for racial justice driven housing and prison reforms and pro Islamic proliferation advocacy for immigration reform. Most other progressive political strategies are included as well in the bleeding heart context and rhetoric of justice and equity…aka Social Justice GOSPEL.
The focus of & Campaign is decidedly URBAN and additional leadership is provided by Urban pastors from Tim Keller’s TGC- The Gospel Coalition. Many of these urban pastors lead congregations planted by one of TGC’s church planting organizations and even the Southern Baptist (SBC) North American Missions Board (NAMB). The SBC SEND Network (church planting arm for NAMB) President actually launched & Campaign in 2017 in his “Blueprint Church ” in Atlanta .His brother is a co-founder of & Campaign.

THE PAUL SINGER TIES WITH & CAMPAIGN
In late 2019 the Fairness For All movement surfaced and the forces behind it began to surface. The movement is called “Alliance for Lasting Liberty ” and & Campaign is the evangelical outreach partner for the effort with the LDS of Salt Lake City…the Mormons. The overarching influence, political clout, and funding comes from Paul Singer’s American Unity Fund. Singer’s influence and funding in 2012 ended opposition to gay marriage in the GOP with backing from Mitt Romney and the Mormon political machinery. Fairness for All was originally called the “Utah Compromise ” as it was piloted through the Utah state legislature by Mormon interest and Singer backing. NOW it is a national movement and has legislation in play in DC.
Singer ALSO FUNDS the Equality Act which is the threat to Religious Liberty the Fairness for All legislation is said to address.
Tim Keller’s TGC urban pastors are key leaders in the & Campaign’s evangelical outreach for support.

COVID-19 SPAWNS CHURCH RELIEF BY &CAMPAIGN
“HELPING CHURCHES CHALLENGE”
&CAMPAIGN OPENS A FUNDING STREAM
“Churches-Helping-Churches Challenge: The Body of Christ steps up in crisis. Join us as we give much needed aid to small at-risk churches. ChurchRelief.org #CHCChallenge“
“According to Barna Group, tens of thousands of pastors are unsure if their church will survive the coronavirus pandemic and a quarter of American churches have reduced staff hours, reduced compensation or laid off employees.”
CASTING THE JUSTICE VISION BY &CAMPAIGN
“The need is most acute in low-income, urban areas which are hit worse by the crisis for two reasons:
“Low-income urban areas are being hurt worse by how the disease spreads.”
“These communities were affected more by the loss of hourly and physical jobs which cannot be done remotely. These churches are the most at-risk.”
“We want all churches to flourish! The focus on the direct aid is churches that serve low-income communities in urban areas that have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 crisis.”
CHURCH RELIEF IS ALSO PUSHING CARES ACT FOR CHURCHES- ENCOURAGING DEADLY GOVERNMENT FUNDING FROM SBA.

NOTE: & CAMPAIGN ADMITS THERE ARE PROBLEMS OF INTERPRETATION FOR CHURCHES TAKING CARES ACT FUNDS
https://www.churchrelief.org/cares-act
“The potential benefits for churches in the CARES Act can be significant. However–due to a lack of certainty in how federal agencies and the courts will interpret the law, expected delays in churches and their employees receiving the funds made available by the law, and potential difficulties smaller churches might have in navigating the application process for these programs–we anticipate that short-term, immediate relief will still be needed.”
“Based on our reading of the legislation, and an overview of available resources (some of which are linked to at the bottom of this document), churches can benefit from the following provisions in the law.”
(We will continue to update this document as more information about implementation of the CARES Act becomes available.)

HOLY LAND PILGRIMAGES AND “EDUCATION”
“Who is behind Passages? The Museum of the Bible (Steve Green of Hobby Lobby) and The Philos Project/Paul Singer have partnered to create Passages. Paul Singer is a Jewish billionaire hedge fund manager and founder of Elliott Management. He funds many nonprofit organizations.”
“Why do Covenant Journey and Passages sound similar? Cary Summers, the then-president of the Museum of the Bible, and Steve Green, the president of Hobby Lobby and chairman of the Museum of the Bible, wanted a partnership with a Jewish philanthropist to develop support for the Museum of the Bible. They met with Paul Singer in New York to discuss the Museum of the Bible, but he was not interested. However, when Cary Summers and Steve Green proposed a joint funding partnership of Covenant Journey, Singer became interested. Except for the Museum of the Bible and Steve Green, Paul Singer did not want other major funders involved. His representatives also wanted governing board control of Covenant Journey and control of the program’s content. When Covenant Journey refused to accept funding from Paul Singer in exchange for control of the organization, Steve Green and Cary Summers then created Passages in 2016 as a joint funding partnership with Paul Singer and used the language and concepts already developed and written by and for Covenant Journey.”

“Paul Singer, a Vulture Capitalist and political activist, known for his massive wealth which he uses to combat liberty movements with numerous social justice campaigns, has gotten the attention this week of dedicated Christian activists who are fighting corruption in the Baptist Church.”
CONCLUSION
Tim Keller and associates are planting churches. Redeemer City To City is Keller’s main focus after leaving his pastorate in New York. It is focused on “Global Cities” and planting churches it deems worthy being of it’s own kind and sharing it’s DNA with the mother church of Keller. Lausanne and Global Goals ideology are part of that DNA. So are Social Justice and so are other left wing/ Cultural Marxist ideologies from the Frankfurt School.
If Keller and these associates were in the liberal PCUSA it would not matter very much . Or if Keller’s TGC were influencing liberal Methodist or Episcopal denominations – it would be no big deal. BUT they are NOT FOCUSED on influencing the converted. They are focused on transforming the Biblical conservatives and planting “this kind of churches” i.e. TGC /&Campaign style urban churches (using the term loosely) and transforming the mission and the politics of the church as a whole in the process.
BILLIONAIRES IN THE SHADOWS.
So the questions are simple:
What other billionaires are lurking in the shadows of TIM KELLER’S WORLD?
And HOW COMFORTABLE should Christians be with not only Keller and Lausanne’s Global Goals ties but with the BILLIONAIRE Paul Singer funded organization involved in a funding scheme for CHURCHES?
Singer – who partners with the Mormons to GUT THE SOUL of the Republican Party – influence the Bible Museum and Israel/Biblical history and pilgrimage – swing the Urban Pastors of & Campaign into the justice fold and now organize a steady stream of wealth redistribution and financial aide into the new paradigm churches Keller and his affiliates are planting … SOUND LIKE A TRUSTWORTHY OPERATION TO YOU?
“YOUR MONEY PERISH WITH YOU” IF YOU THINK THE TRUE CHURCH CAN BE BOUGHT.
LOOKS LIKE YOU MIGHT HAVE KELLER IN YOUR PACKET ALREADY.
ACTS 8:
18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, 19 saying, “Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money! 21 You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not right in the sight of God. 22 Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.”
24 Then Simon answered and said, “Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me.”
