However, attempting to secure secular power by muddling forth religious missives is not Christ-like.
God works equally through sinners and the saved. Being saved does not a good President make - we had Jimmy Carter.
To be enmeshed in religion and to be Biblically sound, Cruz should ask everyone at his town halls to commit to Christ - because if he wants to follow a calling he should save souls, not run for public office.
You don’t believe God has any other vocation for a person other than to call people to Christ? Of course, we call people to Christ, but does that mean we don’t collect garbage, provide nursing care, or other physical labor?
There is a call for politicians who understand Satan, and it is NEVER inappropriate to tell somebody to put on their spiritual armor. NEVER. But especially if you know that the hordes of Hell would like to get rid of them, their testimony, and their effective stand for truth, life, and justice.
I’ll be gone for a couple days. Hopefully it will give folks plenty of time to explain to me why that one area of life - “politics” - is outside the need for spiritual armor.
Excellent post! Even the Lord Jesus prayed, “Not my will, but Thine be done.”
I pray God keeps Trump safe. I have never asked God to cause Trump to win the election. I wouldn’t presume. I petition God to do whatever He is willing to do on behalf of this country, particularly to deliver us from the evil of the last seven years. I then leave the rest in God’s hands. He is the only one who knows the end from the beginning.
