Pastor Rafael Cruz Claims ‘God Is in Control’ Is Dangerous Excuse for Inaction, Says Christians Need to Be Politically Engaged

Pastor Rafael Cruz, the father of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of (R-TX), recently urged Christians to become more politically involved and claimed that the phrase “God is in control” is a “cop-out.” Cruz, who delivered a speech last Friday at the Christians Engaged Conference at Sojourn Church in Carrollton, Texas, contended that “the Church has failed America” by not being more outspoken.
