In an exclusive interview with The Brody File in Austin, Texas Governor Greg Abbott says America will continue to deteriorate unless pastors get involved in the cultural issues of the day. “The people who attend these congregations or pastor these congregations do not turn out and vote and we are dealing with the consequences by the failure of Christians to go vote.”
Abbott spoke with The Brody File in Austin Monday afternoon after speaking to hundreds of pastors at the American Renewal Project event in Texas. Abbott has been very outspoken about his faith in the public square and made an impassioned plea for pastors to do the same.
ARP is holding these influential meetings in select cities around the country in an attempt to get pastors to reengage with the cultural issues of the day. The hope is that pastors will energize and encourage their flocks to actually vote their biblical values.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott: “The country deteriorates and that’s what we’ve seen over the past decade. Religious liberty from the Bible is in the issues that Christians believe in have become hostile in the mainstream politics and there is one key reason for it and that’s because the people who attend these congregations or pastor these congregations do not turn out and vote and we are dealing with the consequences by the failure of Christians to go vote.”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott: “The most important thing anyone can ever do is to stand on their principles, stand on their values and that should be the guiding force in your life but second, it should be that the politically correct thing to do is to stand for the values that Christ preaches and if we do that those are the values and principles upon which this nation was founded upon and what needs to be replicated and it’s because we’ve been getting away from those values and principles that the United States of America has begun to erode.”
