![“I believe that he [Jesus] is Lord of the government, and the church, and business and education, and, hopefully, one day, Lord of the press. I see him involved in everything. And that's why I don't want to stay just in the church, as such. I want the church to move into the world.” quote by Pat Robertson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2cc/pat-robertson-1972_believe_i-believe-that-he-jesus-is-lord-of-the-g_141065.jpg)
