Heidi Cruz said Wednesday that her husband, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), was showing America "the face of the God that we serve" through his faith-based Republican presidential campaign.
Itâs possible to see it happen, when one's desires become united enough with the desires of the Lord.
But the moment we take a feather in our cap for it, it falls flat.
Oh my, to me that is the stuff that true saints are made of ... I have seen it with some of the older ladies in my church... they are just so not there ... I mean when you look at or watch them they are just like watching Christ in the way they act, talk, the patience and wisdom they have. There is no ego, no human identity, everything inside has just been transformed.
Even more, we need Christ.

A Place 4 Chat And Prayer - Yahoo Groups Sep 6, 2007 - show others "the face of God"?
Nov 15, 2010 - This Christmas season, how can you show others the face of God ?
Nov 4, 2013 - We all loved him and loved how God worked in and through him to show others the face of God.
Apr 22, 2014 - Under God's bright skies, beside His blue sea, surrounded by people who endeavor to show others the face of God, with songs of praise
Or maybe, just maybe, instead of relying on an anti conservative site, you may want to consider that its possible its term some Christians use.
Amen. Just a bit spooky.
Nov 19, 2012 - To show others the face of God? To say to the Lord: âBehold, I come to do your will?â
Trump reflects Dominion Theory in his speeches. He is the Greatest Christian. He’ll make Dems bow down to him. Mexico will bow down to him. Amazing.
I would heartily agree with that.
A president won’t save us, that’s for sure.
These people make it obvious that they care about you, and they aren’t only ladies but gentlemen.
I hope some day I might look that way. This is to live in harmony with both God and men.
In the meantime I have only my clumsy-bum attempts to proffer. But I know that if I make efforts, the Lord will honor that.
And so did Cruz’s father, which makes the competition interesting.
However, to be fair, Trump only wants America to be great, not to make others to be less. Mexico is with respect to wrongdoing that it is currently engaged in, not in all respects. Trump is, to the criticism of some, attempting to forge liaisons with Democrat leaders.

Uh, not to put too fine a point on it, but this was done in a Christian circle amongst other Christians seeking ways to truly show the face of God to others, even with songs of praise, in order to serve God. A far cry from Heidi Cruz declaring that her husband's campaign and her family can show America the face of God. The difference is between seeking to grow and share, and someone making a political point to further a campaign of a candidate well known for his false piety.
While we are on this side, we are too impure to see the face of God. His radiance would fry us.

It is time for American Christians to wake up and actually practice that which Christ preached, to love ones enemies, to do good to those who hate us and to pray for those who persecute us, especially where it concerns our persecuted Palestinian brethren. It is the Judeo ‘chosenness’ ideology that has birthed this American ‘imperialism’ that is destroying our nation from within.

We have a tricky word here: “can” as in “can show America the face of God” (or as she put it, opportunity).
My actual prayer is that from her lips to God’s ears... they’d actually succeed in spite of the false starts. God will forgive a billion sins but not excuse one.
Egotism will hurt anybody. How it is expressed in different religious contexts isn’t so important as to recognize it as a spiritual menace.

So basically you are questioning how others practice their Christianity? How they feel that thru the actions they take they can show others the face of God. My, how Christian of you.
One yells Pussy and “F—K” on stage and is thrice married...but lets pick on Cruz’s wife for how she feels about her family. Nice.
As for enumerating Trump's sins, how's that glass house holding up for you?
You have things precisely backwards.
God requires much from those He gives much to. Sounds unfair when we have a worldly man going versus a man who has professed faith... but God is jealous of that faith. The world can take mud baths if it wants. This shouldn’t be a Christian thing.
Tastes great, less filling. It’s both.
Or if not the fear of God, at least some spiritual common sense.
I knew this VERY early in my life. Without seeing grace, I could not hope to show any grace. It was as ludicrous an exercise as when the Egyptian slave masters ordered the Hebrews to make bricks without the straw that held them together.
