Cruz is making the Body of Christmas serve his ends, not Jesus’s ends.
I really don’t see that as “making” them do anything.
Cruz is asking his volunteers of faith to talk to others of faith. Many people in the US believe in God. Less believe in Christ as their savior, but I bet a majority of the people on the phone with whom he was speaking are his brothers and sisters in Christ and it is about time they can get out and campaign for someone who has a similar viewpoint of the Founding Fathers. Read some of their writings at the National Archives online and weep. I did. I also got a crush on General George Washington. I can’t wait to meet him.
Cruz isn’t making, he’s asking? Their is nothing wrong in Cruz asking the body of Christ for it’s blessing and help. My family and my church are always asking Christ for his blessing to continue on us, that is what christians are to do.
