Yes..you read correctly.
Juanita Jean 'splains:
The Woodlands,Texas, is just north of Houston and is one of the more conservative Bible-thumping areas of the state.
They just elected a new legislator by the name of Mark Keough who is the senior pastor of Woodlands Bible Church.
Keough, 61, said that ultimately winning the House District 15 seat is the most exciting time of his life.
He called it a divine appointment, and criticized local high-profile churches for being silent on important social and political issues.
We do believe that, as an extension of The Woodlands Bible Church, that this is almost as if it was a ministry as well, Keough said.
I approached it from that perspective. It sounds crazy, because you ask, where is the separation of church and state? You tell me.
Where is separation of church and state? Its not there."
