Lead Us Not Into Temptation

 But deliver us from evil; or just, you know, arrogance:

Appearing on Real America's Voice today, Burchett said that he and the other 8 Republican representatives led by Matt Gaetz who ousted Kevin McCarthy from the Speaker's Chair became the "Hated 8" to their colleagues, but they were carrying out a mission from God. 

Burchett said he typically sits next to Gaetz and the others in the second to last row of the House chamber, which he calls "Sinner's Row." But he said that God was "using 8 reprobates" to ultimately work to install His servant Mike Johnson to the Speakership.

I’m an ordained minister who was actually called by churches, which we all presumed was acting on a call from God; and we were all a lot more humble about it than this.

Honestly, laypeople are always the most baptized of heathens, and even Protestant laypeople are more Catholic than the Pope.

I’ve seen more than a few “calls by God” go magnificently astray, always due to those who think they divine the “true nature” of the call better than the rest of us. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Some people just think those hands are theirs, and never notice.

And the rest of us clean up the mess they make.

If you can't see the hand of God in this, then you're just not looking."

As I say, they usually can’t; because they can’t identify God’s hand unless they see their own.
