In an interview with The Brody File in Iowa, Ted Cruz implores conservative Christian voters to take back America by exercising their right to vote. “There are 90 million evangelical Christians in the United States, it’s about 30 percent of our population,” Cruz says. “In the last election 54 million evangelical Christians stayed home. If Christians will simply show up and vote our values, we’ll turn this country around.” Cruz continues: “We can turn our country around but only if the body of Christ rises up.” As for pastors, he has a word for them too and it comes through his father Rafael Cruz who is a pastor himself. “The message my father conveys to pastors is that we have too many pastors hiding behind the pulpit who are afraid to preach the word of God, who are afraid to say to Christians, we have a scriptural obligation to be salt in the light, we have a scriptural obligation to be watchmen on the wall, and every one of us has a responsibility to be engaged in our public life, voting our values.”
Cruz has to be one of the most elegant speakers on the issue that has come along in quite some time. He seems to have the right mix of biblical values, oratory skills and fighting passion to ignite a movement. But Christians have to do their part.

ReplyDeleteAfter the middle East wipes out Israel and nukes it , the U.S. is next , 666 on your head.
ReplyDeleteVery negative comments.. We the people have more power than you realize! Don't vote and we lose the country! When the powers that be see the push back from the voters things will change! It will take a lot of us but it can be done.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cruz - stand up and speak out and VOTE - do not just sit back and hope things change, you have to get out and VOTE, that is your right, do not give it up.
ReplyDelete7:44 AM - I believe you are wrong. Go hide back underneath YOUR rock!
ReplyDeleteAs a Christian, Ted Cruz is the only candidate that I am considering. I won't even waste my time voting for a man that is not a true Christian (like our president now). Google search video of Ted Cruz defending Israel against a group of heckling Muslims at a prayer breakfast. He spoke boldly and plainly to them and didn't back down. It was awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis nation was created because citizens wanted to stop government control over their religious choices so please let’s keep religion out of government.
