Paxton Prays for Tea Party’s Blessing at Grapevine Church
GRAPEVINE -- Some would have us believe that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is the author of his own troubles, which at the moment include, but are not limited to, three felony indictments alleging that Paxton committed securities fraud and failed to register as an investment advisor with the state. But those who would speak against Paxton bear false witness, as the congregation at Grapevine’s First Baptist Church learned Sunday morning.
For here is a righteous man! He who has ears, let him hear: in the time of Abbott and in the land of the Metroplex, there lived a man whose name was Ken. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. He had four children and a home in McKinney and some lucrative interests in state contractors. He was the greatest among all the statesmen of the North.
First Baptist is the home church for a number of prominent North Texas tea party activists, and Paxton’s appearance was advertised as a Northeast Tarrant Tea Party event. Paxton and Page never spoke directly about them, but our AG’s legal unpleasantries were a clear subtext of the talk, witnessed by a crowd of several hundred faithful.
During a 20-minute conversation on the church’s unadorned stage, Paxton and First Baptist’s senior pastor, Doug Page, placed the attorney general neatly within the history of Christian martyrs persecuted for speaking biblical truths. They warned of a dark future for America if virtuous men like Paxton are allowed to fall.
