Okie GOP senator: It's clear that God wants 'godly men' to serve in government [View all]
During a recent appearance on the podcast On the Edge with Ken Harrison this week, Senator James Lankford (R-OK) talked about what he believes to be Gods role in government. This Monday, the Christian news outlet Charisma News shared some key insights from Lankfords interview.
According to Lankford, the nation would not be in the state that its in right now if the godly men of this nation would actually love their wife, love their children and would actually walk with God in the workplace.
Lankford said that while the U.S. is not a theocracy, God nevertheless has an interest in whats happening in politics.
Were a republic. But it is clear that God, as the Creator, is interested in whos actually serving in government as well and what their values and what their morals really are and what their priorities are, he said. So for folks that are hesitating and saying, Gosh, politics is such a dirty business. Its like journalism or Hollywood. Its such a dirty business. I dont know if I want to get into it. Ill say to them, What is better? No salt or salt being applied? If you have an interest in getting involved in that, I know its hard. I know its difficult. Go apply salt to it and see what happens.'
