(...previous page) interests on Rick Perry. Rick Perry has mentioned his Christian faith liberally in the media but in general terms, but Rick Perry has yet to share his Christian testimony in response to questions for Christian candidates as requested and reminded. Rick Perry appears firmly opposed to abortion and homosexual marriage but lacks a robust economic policy, foreign policy experience and presidential intellect. That actually would be fine if he demonstrated an unabashed reliance on God, who can bless him with wisdom as he blessed Solomon, another novice national leader who was in over his head. Solomon was blessed after demonstrating his reliance on God by sacrificing a thousand burnt offerings. Rick Perry can start to demonstrate his reliance on God by publicly apologizing to Robert Jeffress (reason), retracting his defense of Mormonism and calling it what it is: a Christ-blaspheming cult. At 'The Response' held at Houston's Reliant Stadium on August 6, 2011, Rick Perry famously prayed: "Lord, you are the source of every good thing. You're our only hope... Father our heart breaks for America... As a nation, we have forgotten who made us, protects us, blesses us, and for that we cry out for your forgiveness... You call us to repent, Lord, and this day is our response. We give it all to you." And at Liberty University on September 14, 2011, Rick Perry exhorted the students to: "Live in faith. Do not fear the judgment of others or the uncertainty of the future. Don't muzzle your voice because you are young. Paul wrote to Timothy and said, 'Do not be ashamed of your youth.' You have the right like every American to speak your mind." Rick Perry can walk his talk by testifying about his Lord and Savior. His present presidential candidacy rating of D+ takes into consideration the risk of a failed Rick Perry presidency blemishing the name of the Lord on whom he claims reliance.
