Find out about the congressman “whose presence should give Christians some peace about the road ahead.”
From WORLD. Last week, Americans were fascinated by the fight in Washington as Republicans battled over the election of a speaker of the House. Congressman Chip Roy of Texas, a conservative member of the House Freedom Caucus, led the fight. The Southern Baptist is a man of faith and conviction whose presence should give Christians some peace about the road ahead.

“I haven’t been promised anything. Literally, I have got nothing out of this deal for me personally. … But what we have extracted are promises from the speaker to make sure that we have ideological diversity and representation among these committees,” Roy told Jake Tapper on CNN. That level of personal disinterest favoring convictional and principled politics is what sets Roy apart in Washington. Even his detractors in the speaker’s fight acknowledged McCarthy’s team could trust him because for Roy the fight was about principles. …
Before his election to the House, Chip worked for Sen. John Cornyn of Texas as Cornyn’s staff director and senior counsel on the Judiciary Committee. …
In 2009, Chip left Cornyn’s office and headed to Texas to help Gov. Rick Perry. …
After Perry, Chip became Chief of Staff to Sen. Ted Cruz. …
Chip then moved from Cruz’s office to First Assistant Attorney General of Texas under Ken Paxton. …
In 2018, Chip got elected to Congress, representing a district between Austin and San Antonio. He went from behind the scenes to in front of cameras leading fights. He often publicly disagreed with the Trump Administration on government spending. He has been prophetic in his warning about precedents that the left might use later through governance by executive order. He has tirelessly fought for religious liberty.
The fight Americans saw last week was quintessentially Chip Roy. Others had various motives, but Chip made it about principles of governance. He wanted the speaker to agree to open legislation, that now novel concept that congressmen must draft laws, debate them, and consider amendments instead of having House leaders draft legislation not subject to challenge. He wanted reforms in the budget process. In return, he needed nothing for himself because he understands that the process, if fixed, benefits everyone.
Chip Roy is led by his faith. He’s willing to be in the lion’s den knowing he is right with God. He does not need anything from Washington, but America truly needs a man like him in this fight. …

For the first time in a long time we watched true conservatives fight and stand on principles!
It was an answer to prayers!!!
I decree and declare this leader is and will encourage more government leaders to stand up for constitutional and biblical principles connected to our founding father documents in DC. The swamp is on notice that the ekklesia in in full swing and intensifying in God given authority for righteousness and justice to invade the halls of DC. No King by Jesus.
I thank God for such a man of integrity. I am pleasantly surprised that he could win in a rather liberal part of Texas.
Praise the Lord for His mercy and blessing to American by placing people like Chip Roy in the government! May He continue using Chip as His vessel for sending more blessings to this country!

Dear Heavenly Father, Chip Roy is Your man. I believe he is influential because of his allegiance to You. I pray his influence is overwhelming and contagious. I pray his love and devotion to You will impact every member of The House of Representatives. Your Word says, anyone who believes in Jesus Christ will never be put to shame. It is in His perfect Name that I ask for Your mantle of authority to cover this man, that You continue to arm him for the battles ahead. Thank You for Chip Roy. Thank You for the love You show us despite our rebelliousness. Thank You for Jesus Christ who died for us while we were still sinners. Amen
Amen!
