Cruz's father Important Message for Christians

[Pressing-On]

GOP front-runner's dad has urgent message for Christians

"Jesus said, ‘You're the light of the world,'" Cruz said during a recent Pastors and Pews event in northern Virginia. "Let me tell you what many Christians do. They come to church with their little flashlights, pointing the light on one another. Boy, are we great at criticizing one another, at gossiping about one another.

"But light is worthless unless you point it at darkness. That's out there in the marketplace. We're going to have to stop just playing church inside the four walls and take the church out there."

"If the righteous are not running for office, if the righteous are not even voting, what is left?" Cruz asked. "The wicked electing the wicked, and it becomes our fault."

ya, or your glory. If you just ignore them, they will be running to get back in your face, anyway. If voting could change anything, they would not let you do it. The same cabal that killed JFK is more firmly in control than ever.

I am thinking of the recent election of Matt Bevin as Governor of Kentucky. They said he wouldn't win, but the people voted him in.

Cruz's father's point is that if we don't vote and if we don't get involved, we will continue having these left leaning people in office.

I don't know why Christian churches would advocate not getting involved in politics. Especially not even to vote. Our country was founded on Judeo-Christian values and we should work to maintain that.

Pray and vote. Also, if someone feels God leading them into running for any type of political office, do it. Just ask God for guidance and make sure you are sure God is calling you for the task. It's like anything else we do in our relationship with God.

You speak for the 83% of Americans who identify as Christian, i'm sure.

"Be separate from the world."

If you want to have a foot in both worlds, i guess.

We live in a time where Scriptural principles are expounded on FB, and Christians advocate fence sitting
