The article provides quotes from Mike Pompeo on Christian living. A man proud of his Christian heritage, Mike gives us some advice and shows us the way on how we can practice our religious beliefs in our daily life.
“For me, I’m a Christian Evangelical, and it is an important part of who I am.” – Mike Pompeo
“In every interaction that you have, whether you’re at church or at a Bible study, at your work or wherever you may find yourself, exercise your right to religious freedom…. Be open. Be clear about who you are.” – Mike Pompeo
“Your prayers – and I get wonderful notes from all across America of people who are praying for me in their circles and their groups and their Bible studies – your prayers help sustain me.” – Mike Pompeo
“Our ability to pray – anytime and anywhere – is a fundamental right… We MUST protect everyone’s right to prayer.” – Mike Pompeo
“O, God our Father, thou searcher of men’s hearts, help us to draw near to the sincerity and truth. May our religion be filled with gladness, and may our worship of thee be natural.” – Mike Pompeo, A Prayer Said in Public
“We should pray. That’s the first of all things. I feel prayers. I get notes from people who say they’re praying for me. I can feel it. My wife, my son, we all appreciate it.” – Mike Pompeo
“They are the things that make us. They lift us, inspire us, save us… and this is who we are. Together, let’s make sure our religious freedom and our right to pray are never canceled.” – Mike Pompeo
“The vital importance of religious freedom to the American way of life is why we should celebrate the Court’s recent affirmation [2023] of religious liberty as a fundamental freedom that must not be encroached upon, whether by an employer or our government.” – Mike Pompeo
“America is a nation defined by religious faith, freedom, and values. These are the foundations of America, and they are worth defending.” – Mike Pompeo
“To those serving in harm’s way, it is the certain knowledge of everlasting life after this existence that conveys undaunted courage to the weary and implacable resolve to the reticence of some.” – Mike Pompeo
“In my office, I keep a Bible open on my desk to remind me of God and his word, and the truth.” – Mike Pompeo
“As Secretary, I fought for religious liberty as a foremost human right.” – Mike Pompeo
“I think too about my responsibilities in light of the biblical call to be a good steward of whatever you have. 1 Corinthians 4 says that: ‘Those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.’ And God has entrusted this position [Secretary of State] to me for this time. And I feel every day the duty to honor that calling.” – Mike Pompeo
“Right now [2018-2020], four out of five people around the world don’t enjoy full religious freedom, and we’re fighting tooth and nail to change that.” – Mike Pompeo
“… it was my honor to host the first-ever religious freedom ministerial at the State Department.” – Mike Pompeo
“And now two years running, we at the State Department have hosted what we call the Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom – nations and religious leaders from all over the world coming together to protect this essential freedom. Would you believe our gathering last year was the largest human rights conference ever held at the State Department?” – Mike Pompeo
“… as a Secretary of State… the task that I have is informed by my understanding of my faith, my belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior… I think that makes a real difference, and so I want people to know. It’s why I talk about it from [time] to time. I want folks to know the perspective that I am bringing to the challenges in the job that I face, and it also requires me to try to hold myself to the standards that Christians hold themselves out for.” – Mike Pompeo
“22 years ago, I married the most incredible woman on earth. Gracious, humble, brilliant and faithful to her Maker. I am a blessed man to call you my wife, Susan.” – Mike Pompeo
“As a Kansan, I hold a deep reverence for the sanctity of life, the solidarity of family, and the solemnity of marriage. I will continue the fight to uphold these fundamental ideals each and every day.” – Mike Pompeo
“… it wasn’t so long ago that Susan and I were just like so many of you all. We were raising our son, we were trying to build up our community, we’re staying involved at our church. I was teaching Sunday school.” – Mike Pompeo
“I have been fighting for life my entire political career – and that will never change going forward. I believe, without a doubt, that life begins at conception and is sacred.” – Mike Pompeo
“I have a niece and a nephew who were born to mothers who didn’t want to keep those babies, but chose to do so and put them up for adoption. My sister adopted them. These are my nephew and my niece – lovely, now-young adults who are really important people because these mothers made this important choice.” – Mike Pompeo
“Now I hope we can all go out and make sure every woman gets a chance to do precisely this: make sure they carry their baby to term and we welcome these young people into the world, and we hope their families stay intact to care of them. But if they can’t, then we will come around and help them be successful in living good American lives.” – Mike Pompeo
“On Christmas, we remind ourselves of God’s living, abiding love for each one of us, and we honor that love by giving it freely to others.” – Mike Pompeo
“My walk with Christ has shaped my life and given it purpose far beyond anything worldly ever could have.” – Mike Pompeo
