Evangelicals for Mitt is rapidly becoming one of my favorite blogs. The writing is interesting and well-done, and the bloggers are unrepentant about their support for Mormon Mitt Romney.
This post quotes Ezra to show that the Lord works even though “unbelievers” such as Cyrus so there is no reason not to support Mitt even though he is not a traditional Christian.
Now before we get some nastygrams from Mormons against the evangelicals, the blog points out that Mitt expresses his love for Jesus and points out that evangelicals also have doctrinal differences with Catholics as well as Mormons. Although I think evangelicals who say Mormons are not Christians are simply ignorant (how many times do I have to tell them that Jesus Christ is my personal savior before they believe it?), I do think the evangelicals at “Evangelicals for Mitt” are well-intentioned. Their primary purpose is to bring evangelicals behind a Mormon candidate, and that is a very, very good thing.
Isaiah points out, by the way, that Cyrus was an instrument used by the Lord to bring Judah back to Israel, and I agree with the broader theme of the post, which is that the Lord uses many vehicles, including non-believers, to bring change to the Earth.
