IN the NEWS - Senator-elect & Biblical Worldview

The wicked borrows but does not pay back,
Psalm 37:21
"Oklahoma Senator-elect James Lankford is vowing to use his biblical worldview to address problems like the national debt.
Lankford said the book of Nehemiah stresses the importance of retiring debt and rebuilding infrastructure.
The 46-year-old also told Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, he'll work to protect the religious rights of all Americans, at work and in every part of life.
Lankford, who is a long-time Baptist minister, said Americans who are concerned about the nation's problems should pray as much as they complain." ChristianNewsNetwork
Commentary:
I kinda see his point.....not really a bad idea, BUT we should be careful here. I don't have a problem if he lets his Biblical worldview influence his politics....sure is a lot better than having an atheist view run things...--BUT--...he should be careful not to bring the Bible directly into the political debate.
