Senator-Elect to Bring Biblical Views to Capitol Hill

Oklahoma Senator-elect James Lankford is vowing to use his biblical worldview to address problems like the national debt.

Lankford said the book of Nehemiah stresses the importance of retiring debt and rebuilding infrastructure.

The 46-year-old also told Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, he'll work to protect the religious rights of all Americans, at work and in every part of life.

Lankford, who is a long-time Baptist minister, said Americans who are concerned about the nation's problems should pray as much as they complain.
