It’s not often you walk into a fraternity house and find CBN’s The 700 Club on the television, but for one congressman, that’s exactly what he found playing one day when he heard a message that changed his life.
Congressman Barry Moore grew up in a church community. Like many teenagers, he strayed away from his faith until God got his attention in a place he least expected.
“I was actually in a fraternity house in Auburn, Alabama, of all places, and Pat Robertson was on the TV,” Moore told CBN News.
During that time, Moore wasn’t close to the Lord. Yet he found himself drawn to the message that was shared.
“There was just something he said that day on The 700 Club, that I was just watching the TV and I found myself prone before the Lord with tears in a fraternity house and that began that process of kind of redirecting my path.”
But God’s timing was perfect. About a week later, Moore met his future wife, Heather…
Barry told CBN News that politics wasn’t always a part of the plan.
“It was the last thing on earth I wanted to do. I actually told the party ‘no’ when they asked me to run for the state legislature in 2006,” he said.
Two years later, Barry had a change of heart.
“In 2008, I think it was President Obama said, ‘We are no longer a Christian nation,’ and I told Heather, we must engage. We cannot sit on the sidelines any longer.”
Then in 2010, Barry got elected to the state legislature…
In Congress, Barry and Heather continue to go where God leads them.
“Man, we do not have the answers for the future of our country,” Barry explained. “The Republicans nor the Democrats, no matter how smart we are, how brilliant we are, how good a public speaker we are. To save this nation, we must turn back to Him.”
Congressman Moore says one thing he’s learned is that even though he can’t make as big of a difference as he’d like, he’s trusting God in the process and seeking His wisdom for how to lead our country forward.
