Mike Johnson’s Blue Book reveals much about him prior to becoming Speaker.
Christianity Challenges National Tyranny: Mike Johnson Becomes Speaker of the House
Christianity is now breathing down the neck of national tyranny. It’s the Democrats and the Biden administration’s worst nightmare.
Republican Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana has taken up the gavel as the new speaker of the House in the 118th Congress.
I can only assume that thoughts of Jesus taking hold of the political reins are running wild.
No one can argue that the man who is now third in line for the presidency doesn’t pray, nor that he won’t broach his new position with faith as his guiding light. He’s been operating in all others that very same way, signified by his attachment to one little blue book.
Written by Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges and published by Thomas Nelson in 2008, “Lead Like Jesus” combines faith with real-world application. Its cover says it has “lessons for everyone from the greatest leadership role model of all time.”
Johnson keeps this book close and subscribes to it. Thus, where he lives, he will not be moved.
This means the bar was just raised on Capitol Hill. Johnson’s heightened position and power, coupled with his evangelical beliefs and educational acumen as a lawyer and constitutional legal expert, are everything the left didn’t want.

Unlike ousted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was scrutinized over his allegiances, no one can question Johnson’s. He has demonstrated he puts God first, including in his acceptance speech upon election as speaker.
“I don’t believe there are any coincidences in a matter like this,” Johnson said. “I believe that Scripture, the Bible, is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority. He raised up each of you. All of us.
“And I believe that God has ordained and allowed each one of us to be brought here for this specific moment and this time.”

It’s clear where Johnson’s priorities are. He will be trying to lead as Jesus would.
“Somehow, man, he is precisely the constitutionalist serving, child of God, deeply principled man that we need right now,” fellow Louisiana Republican Rep. Clay Higgins, who entered Congress alongside Johnson in 2017, said, according to The Washington Times.
Another Louisiana Republica, Majority Leader Steve Scalice, added, “Those of us who have known Mike Johnson for a long time, and I’ve known him maybe longer than most, have seen a commitment, a self-service commitment to things bigger than himself.”
The Democratic Party knows this too. That is the reason they are already villainizing the new speaker in an attempt to discredit him to the American public. He is a huge monkeywrench in Democrats’ plans to undermine this nation.
HuffPost reported that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has accused Johnson of being an “extreme right-wing ideologue” when it comes to abortion and Social Security.
Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland made similar criticisms to MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, adding that the new speaker “opposed democracy.”
In the process, he seemed to suggest that Johnson is perfectly packaged to drive our nation back to the right.
“There are people who are definitely more lunatic than he is, and he’s got very good manners, and he’s an able lawyer,” Raskin said.
Anyone who leads like Jesus leads with quiet strength and integrity. That is the reason Johnson ascended so surprisingly and meteorically to the speakership today.
He is now exactly where his beliefs and our current world circumstances primed him to be.
The new speaker’s views are defined by a little blue book and a prominent larger book that continues to reign even when it seems as though evil is prevailing.
The Democrats should be worried.

How does Mike Johnson’s rise to power as Speaker of the House reflect the growing influence of Christianity in politics?

Johnson’s rise to power is not just a political victory for Republicans, but a significant milestone for the Christian community. It reflects the growing influence of Christianity in the political landscape and sends a clear message to those who seek to impose national tyranny.
In recent years, there has been a notable shift in the political climate, with an increasing number of Christians engaging in the political process and running for office. The election of lawmakers like Mike Johnson demonstrates that Christians are no longer content with sitting on the sidelines but are actively working to shape the policies and direction of the nation.
Christianity, at its core, is a religion that values freedom, justice, and the inherent worth of every human being. It teaches its followers to stand up against injustice, defend the weak, and promote the common good. These values are incompatible with any form of tyranny or oppression.
Throughout history, Christians have played a pivotal role in challenging and overcoming tyranny. From the abolitionists who fought against slavery to the civil rights activists who fought for racial equality, Christians have been at the forefront of movements for justice and freedom.
Mike Johnson’s appointment as Speaker of the House is a continuation of this legacy. As a devout Christian, Johnson brings his faith into his leadership, seeking guidance and wisdom from God. This ensures that his decisions are grounded in principles that prioritize the well-being of the people and the principles upon which the nation was founded.
Johnson’s commitment to faith-based leadership is evident in his choice of reading material. “Lead Like Jesus,” the book he keeps close, emphasizes the importance of humility, integrity, and servant leadership. These principles align with the teachings of Jesus and provide a solid foundation for ethical and effective leadership.
As Speaker of the House, Johnson has the power to shape the legislative agenda and set the tone for the entire Congress. His commitment to Christian values and his track record of upholding those values make him a formidable force against any attempts to undermine freedom and justice.
However, it is important to note that Johnson’s appointment does not mean the battle against national tyranny is won. There are still many challenges to overcome, and the fight for freedom will require the collective efforts of Christians and all people of goodwill.
Nevertheless, Johnson’s appointment serves as a powerful reminder that Christianity has a vital role to play in safeguarding the principles that underpin democracy. It is a testament to the resilience of faith and the enduring relevance of its teachings in the face of political adversity.
Ultimately, the rise of Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House is a triumph for Christianity and a reminder to all that faith can be a driving force for positive change in society. As he takes the helm, Johnson brings with him a steadfast commitment to freedom, justice,
