Rick Perry told worshipers at the First Wesleyan Church here Sunday morning that they should disregard “the politically correct police” who say the separation of church and state means faith has no place in public life.
“As a matter of fact, you are Biblically charged to take your values into the public arena,” the Texas governor told 90 worshipers.
“You will be criticized, but do not be intimidated,” he added. “Somebody’s values are going to decide the issues of the day, whatever they may be. Whatever policies are being discussed … somebody’s values are going to be installed, if you will, and the question is going to be ‘whose values?’ Is it going to be those of us of faith? Or is it going to be somebody else’s values?”
.....He didn’t specifically mention his presidential campaign in the 12-minute speech, and he didn’t go nearly as far in the sanctuary as he does in an ad currently airing on Iowa television – which warns of a “war on religion.”
Perry instead spoke at length about Isaiah 6:8, the New Testament chapter in which the prophet Isaiah volunteers to serve God. He said that he read the book in his hotel room Saturday night.
“Here am I,” Perry said, relaying the story and raising his hand as he spoke. “Send me.”
He received a standing ovation. He didn’t speak from the pulpit but stood at ground level in the sanctuary, speaking without notes from a wireless microphone.
Perry also retold the story of his own faith journey, specifically coming to find Jesus at age 27. He called himself “a flawed man” and a sinner who has sought forgiveness.
“As you go forth and as you live your life, take that basket off and let that light shine,” Perry said. “And tell the world, and let them see not only in how you live your life but (also) how you speak that Jesus Christ is King.”
The pastor announced to the crowd after Perry’s finished speaking that there is a sign outside the church. “We’re not afraid to say Merry Christmas around here,” it says.
“stood at ground level..., speaking without notes from a wireless microphone...
“Received a standing ovation”
That can’t be.
He is incapable of public speaking.
Can’t put three cogent words together much less two sentences.
LOL
“While Newt is throwing bombs on subpoena, impeach and arrest judges who disagree with his imperialism, it is refreshing to hear a more humble leader and candidate make a positive pitch this weekend before Christmas.”
So you basically admitted you have no idea what you are talking about?
I guess someone lied!
???????
I guess there’s a reason the 13th largest economy in the world keeps Rick Perry at the helm.
About those internal polls you spilled...
I don’t know you.
Never even heard of you.
That’s my story to the internal poll police, and I’m sticking to it.
LOL
Too late now!
Hopefully some new numbers will come out to distract everyone.
For now you’ll have to deal with the fallout.
Hmmmmmmmmmm......
Thank you.
Riveting truth.
I have it running.
AMEN! and then say another prayer.
You’re welcome, CW. Yes, two men speaking the truth, straight from the heart.

My prayers go up for him every day because I think he is what the country really needs right now.
Amen and amen.
Hi, CW! How’s Perry’s ground organization in Iowa?
Very excellent
Reading the posts are so refreshing.
Voters talking about a true Conservative that will Govern with the PEOPLE and the U.S in his heart.
Mark Steyn on Fox just said that Perry’s Texas shows the kind of experience and results we need at the helm of the USA...he said: we are NOT electing a debator, we are electing a chief executive!
Without endorsing Perry....he seemed to express a preference for him.
AMEN!
Really!?
Well! WELL! Well!
