Kudos to Idaho state Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll for not participating in the Hindu prayer, and for standing strong in her Christian faith by refusing to apologize for boycotting the Hindu prayer. She spoke the truth concerning the Hindu religion as worshiping false gods, and to have joined in that prayer would have betrayed her faith in Jesus Christ. No apology is needed! Jesus said “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” Jesus also said, “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.” Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll is surely blessed!
