He has provided churches with phone scripts and a automated phone calling service so pastors can encourage their members to turn out Thursday night. "God's word directs us in Exodus 18:21 to choose for rulers 'just men who will rule in the fear of God,'" reads one sample script. "We do that here by attending our precinct caucuses and bringing our faith and values with...
