“Any candidate who claims his religion has no influence on his decisions is either a dishonest politician or a shallow follower of his faith.”

“Every time we go into the voting booth, we are choosing the moral and spiritual direction of our nation. That is a privilege and responsibility that should not be abdicated.”

“There is nothing unbiblical about building a wall and protecting citizens.”

“I'm not here trying to convince anybody to vote for Donald Trump. I think every Christian needs to make up his own mind about this issue.”

“To Barack Obama, if you believe in traditional marriage, you are a homophobe. If you believe men shouldn't go into women's bathrooms and showers, you are a bigot. If you believe the unborn have a right to life, you must hate women.”

“I don't get bothered by the media. There is nothing in the media that makes me lose any sleep at night.”

“I think Barack Obama thinks that Muslims are the ones being persecuted, and he has to change that. The fact is he is contributing to Christians being persecuted, not only around the world, but in America as well.”

“I do believe, sooner rather than later, churches will face the loss of their tax-exempt status if they do not engage in same-sex ceremonies.”

“Jesus was not this wimpy little guy who walked around munching sunflower seeds and saying nice things to people. The real Jesus of the Bible said, 'Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's.' That is: Obey the government.”

“Homosexuality is a violation of God's standard.”

“The fact that what we believe about marriage - that it should be between a man and a woman - and that we're pro-life, somehow that becomes radical? Why is that? It's because our culture has changed. But the truth is, culture may change, people change, but the Word of God never changes, and that's what we rest our belief system on.”

“I think Mormons are good, moral people, but they're not part of Christianity.”

“I see apostasy in many ways occurring in Evangelical churches that really aren't teaching the truth of God's word. I do believe that some churches have become entertainment centers and a teaching a type of prosperity Gospel rather than teaching God's word.”
