Throwback Thursday: Epic Video - Watch Ted Cruz's Dad Biblically Slam Obama, Lois Lerner & Eric Holder

By Elizabeth Nelson

Since we're about to go into elections, to take back our Senate, may I remind you of a riveting speech that Rafael Cruz, the man that raised Senator Ted Cruz under God's Holy Word, delivered straight out of Exodus 18:21-22. Ironically the very same passage my pastor spoke from Wednesday night, that tells us how to vote and shows us the qualification that we should be looking for in our candidates.  He focused the four requirements, two of which were that the candidate fears God and that they be a man of truth. Can you imagine where we'd be with that man in office today?

"The Bible talks a lot about politics" 

“He [God] gives four qualifications: able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness,” 

“Haven’t we had enough of men and women of lies in government?”

"Why do we keep sending the village idiots?

"this and will tell you a lie to cover up its previous lie"

“Whether it’s Lois Lerner, or it’s Rahm Imanuel, or it’s our illustrious attorney general, or it’s our president, they go from lie to lie to lie to lie.”

"It's bout time we have men and women of truth in public office"

"Aren't you tired of candidates that will tell you all kinds of things in their campaign and when they get into office they will do the exact opposite? It's about time we stop looking at their rhetoric and start looking at their record most of these candidates have a record"

“Jesus said, ‘Ye shall know them by their fruit,’” 

“Stop listening to [a candidate's] rhetoric; look at their record. It won’t do you any good to listen to a politician that tells you, ‘Oh yes, I’m pro-life,’ and they've voted for abortion seventeen times.” 

"Don't listen to what they say listen to what they do."

"Covetousness -  these politicians covet power, that's why they've been in office so long." 

“If you fear God, you obey God’s precepts.” 

“For example, you defend the sanctity of life. But beyond the moral code, that means you live a life of integrity, honesty, hard work, individual responsibility, the rule of law, and yes, free enterprise and limited government. The Bible has a lot to say about all those.”

“Equivalent of federal government, state government, county government [and] local government.” He commented that as the people were only to take the most important cases to Moses, the lower-level government was to handle the majority of matters.

“That is Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution; that’s the Ninth Amendment and the Tenth Amendment,” “The essence of federalism in two verses of Scripture.”

Everything we need in the Bible, including the Constitution - our Founding Fathers had it right. It started with Moses and the Ten Commandments and ended with One Nation Under God.
