U.S. Sen. James Lankford said Thursday he remains hopeful about the future of the United States in part because God continues sending Christians to serve in the nation’s capital. “That would tell me even if this is Sodom and Gomorrah, He hasn't given up on it. We shouldn't give up on it,” Lankford (R-Okla.) said during an appearance at Family Research Council’s Inaugural Pray Vote Stand Summit in Leesburg, Va. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, said he estimates there are “more men and women of committed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ serving in Congress” than “probably in modern time.” “If [God] were finished with America, He wouldn't be calling men and women of faith to Washington, D.C.,” Perkins said. “And He's doing that.”
. . . Washington, D.C., Lankford said, is a “mirror to the country more than the country wants to admit.” That is, the contentiousness in D.C. mirrors the contentiousness on the local level, he said. “If we want to see a change, I really am convinced that Washington doesn't change the country,” he said. “[Instead,] the country changes Washington. And the country is changed by churches and by believers actually living their faith. I really do believe in the power of the gospel.” |
