Bravo, Sen. Cruz!
“We ought to obey God, rather than man.” Acts 5:29. Despots in every age and every nation think that they are in control. Their shelf life is limited. God is eternal.
“Do not be afraid of those who can kill the body but are not able to kill the soul.
Rather fear God, who can destroy both body and soul in hell.” Matthew 10:28.
From Proverbs Chapeter One:
“My son, if sinful men entice you,
do not give in to them.
11 If they say, “Come along with us;
let’s lie in wait for innocent blood,
let’s ambush some harmless soul;
12 let’s swallow them alive, like the grave,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
13 we will get all sorts of valuable things
and fill our houses with plunder;
14 cast lots with us;
we will all share the loot”—
15 my son, do not go along with them,
do not set foot on their paths;
16 for their feet rush into evil,
they are swift to shed blood.”
