So...The gist of the article is less an endorsement for Cruz as it is more an advertisement for Blair’s “ministry”?
Meh...When Blair can structure his media presence to call-out and challenge Al Sharpton or Je$$ie Jack$on, the rest of America will sit back and watch...
...with popcorn.
Well I would be kind to Blair, as to all ministers. I am not going to put scare quotes around the word “ministry” for the sake of describing what he does if it has any element of gospel in it at all.
There may be a kind of group misunderstanding going on in modern American Christendom, as I see it. They think a general outward religiosity is all America needs. Get the morals back, don’t diss God too much, and we return to halcyon days.
And I say wait a minute. Keep the horse of faith in front of the cart of blessings. Even if you are treating God and morals like dirt, would you at least BELIEVE Him? When He says He loves you, is willing to forgive you all your wrongs, and desires to do great things through you?
It’s more a systemic issue and this could give rise to a lot of Cruz endorsements — he’s the obviously-Christian guy. Which might end up being right for reasons that we don’t even know about, but putting him and others up to a bible test for executing the role, Cruz might not actually be the best right now.
