The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.”(Proverbs 28:1)
Thursday night, August 29th, in Arlington, I had the privilege of hosting a dinner for and meeting with 20 conservative Christian Patriots, 16 of whom defeated and will be replacing RINOs in the upcoming Texas legislative session. These Patriots are stronger than horseradish in their commitment to advancing a Biblical Worldview in civil government. They are truly heroes and heroines of our faith in Christ.
I was truly humbled to be in their presence.
These individuals, who will be replacing RINOs, are Don McLaughlin, Wes Virdell, Shelley Luther, David Lowe, Caroline Fairly, Brent Money, Janis Holt, Mitch Little, Alan Schoolcraft, Keresa Richardson, Trey Wharton, Katrina Pierson, Helen Kerwin, Matt Morgan, Sheriff A.J. Louderback, and Andy Hopper. Stalwart conservative Republican incumbents leaders were also in attendance: Tony Tinderholt, Steve Toth, Brian Harrison, and Nate Schatzline.
Most of House Speaker Dade Phelan’s leadership were decimated in the Republican Primary by these lion-hearted individuals.
The Biblical faith of our Founding Fathers was the basis upon which the American Revolution was fought and the principles upon which the Constitution was written.
John Jay was the President of the Continental Congress, author of the Federalist Papers, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court from 1789 to 1795. He wrote, “The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and regulate your life by its precepts.” This sentiment was shared by the signers of the Declaration of Independence and of the U.S. Constitution. These Republican leaders with whom I met tonight share these values.
On February 29, 1892, the Supreme Court of the United States declared, in Holy Trinity v. United States, that the historical record of America overwhelmingly demonstrated that the United States “…is a Christian nation.”
This is our nation’s history. Unfortunately, over the last 100 years, godless secularists have infiltrated educational institutions, the seats of government, the bureaucracies, and even many religious denominations. The history of our nation’s Biblical moorings has been eliminated from the history books.
It appears that those who promote atheistic perversion and communism are advancing with little or no opposition. They are seeking to destroy the Biblical basis and morality upon which our nation was founded. The killing of the unborn, the sexualization of children in schools by the LGBTQIA, the transgender movement, men in women’s bathrooms, showers, locker rooms and athletics, drag queens reading to children in public schools and libraries, the promotion of Satanic themes in movies and on TV, the mass invasion of millions of illegal immigrants, terrorists, criminals, and child sex traffickers are being promoted or allowed by those in power.
If ever there was a time for Christians to be bold and courageous and act, now is the time. These Republican candidates, with whom I met and hosted for dinner, are committed to restoring Texas and our nation to its Christian heritage.
“When the righteous rule, the people rejoice. But when the wicked rule, the people groan.” (Proverbs 29:2)
