Is Ted Cruz That Man?

I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing Ted Cruz in person on August 9th in Pelham Alabama. I liked what I heard and I believe him. I have shared on this Blog that I am not a republican and certainly not a democrat. I have not voted for either since the 2000 general election. I find the voting for the lesser of two evils and the best person that has the best chance of winning to be an unbiblical principle. Therefore, the person I believed that most lined up with biblical and constitutional principles in the last 3 general elections was not a democrat or republican. I could not bring myself to vote for John McCain and Mitt Romney, both RINOs in my opinion anyway and not true conservatives.

But this time, I don't think I have to go outside of the Grand Ole Party. I believe Ted Cruz to be the presidential candidate that lines up in almost every way constitutionally and more importantly biblically. Ted is a professing Christian. He believes in biblically and constitutional (I'm still amazed at why more Christians don't think those two should go together). Ted is fully pro life, pro eliminating the national deficit and reducing the national debt, pro small government, pro second amendment, pro no amnesty for illegal immigrants, and pro securing our borders. He recognizes and says that he will counter every executive order made by our current President (which should be all of them, because they are all unconstitutional and illegal when applied to non federal workers, even though Obama is not the first President to do it). And what I also think is important is that Ted Cruz can unite Christian voters, Constitutional voters, Conservative voters, and-and Third Party voters.

Look, getting someone like Cruz in won't solve all of our country's problems. We need another Great Awakening in our country. We need to see hearts changed by the power of the Holy Spirit through the Gospel of God's Word. We need to see repentance of nationally condoned and accepted sins of murder in the mother's womb, sex outside the bond of marriage between one man and one woman until death do they part, same sex marriage, and more. Our trust ought not to rest in "the right candidate" but rather the One True God Who created and redeemed His people to worship and enjoy Him forever. But God has ordained our type government in the United States, and we should vote according the biblical standards. Ted could be a sham for all I know, but right now and the best that I can tell, he is the "Real McCoy" that I think Christians should rally behind in the Primaries for starters. But that's the problem isn't it, even born again Christians for the most part getting behind the same candidate. I'm amazed at the criteria of many Christians for their consideration of President. And how a born again Christian can support a Jeb or Donald, let alone a Democrat is, well, I'm at a loss of words for this comment. As with sin, it's just the corruption in us all that still remains until the first resurrection. Or resurrection 1a for my pre-trib friends :-).

Not my will, but God's will be done!
