Full credit to The Dallas Morning News' Robert Wilonsky for finding this video first, but boy, it sure is something. First Baptist Church of Dallas Pastor Robert Jeffress, it turns out, was not content to give his blessing to the Donald Trump for president circus just once.
Monday afternoon, according to the Christian Broadcasting Network, Jeffress and a whole pile of televangelists — including Fort Worth's favorite anti-vaxxer, Kenneth Copeland — used and were used by Trump at the real-estate magnate's Trump Tower in Manhattan. A clearly smitten Jeffress told Fox News Tuesday that the pastors' meeting with Trump had everything.
"We talked about everything from Kim Davis and religious liberty to the shutdown of the government for Planned Parenthood, to Russia, Syria, ISIS," Jeffress said. "I tell ya, anybody that was in that meeting would've left there, first of all, impressed by his great charisma, by his grasp of the issues, but also the fact that he's in it to win it."

The left wing and anti- Christian Dallas Morning News is beside themselves.
God (and later Jesus) never called the most righteous in men's eyes. (The exception is John the Baptist, who was ordained at birth). More often He chose people like Moses (a murderer), Jonah (disobedient), David (adulterer), Solomon (polygamist), and Jesus chose Peter (a liar), James and John ,egotists as big as Trump), and later an executioner (Paul.)
The thing is, the willingness to be led is a totally private thing with the results observed after the fact.
Well said.
Agreed. Trumps picadillos and honesty about them uniquely qualify him to be trusted as a man of conviction.
Pastor Jeffress is fearless in his preaching.
But... but... Trump will never get the evangelical vote. I read it on the internet.
DMN, snarky paper waste. They must have choked on their vile wrath when having to print this article. Go DONALD!! With the Lord’s guidance, you can do it.
[As the two-hour meeting wrapped up, the pastors all laid hands on and prayed for Trump. Trump’s facial contortions during the prayer are the stuff of nightmares and magic.]
It appears THE DONALD was touched by the HOLY SPIRIT during that fateful meeting. Answered prayer.
Amen.
Dear Lord, send us a strong leader in the White House who doesn't hate the country and the American people. Amen.
Also wasn’t Solomon a very very rich man?
I don’t get the analogy. Those you mentioned first sinned and then were later repentant about their sins. Trump has never done anything wrong in his life to ask God forgiveness for.
That is good.
I just looked at my tv guide and see Trump is on the 700 club in a few mins.
Perhaps this story suggests that Trump has come to the realization that the task in front of him is larger than self, and that he won’t be able to go it alone. I do pray for the man and hope that he is actively seeking to cultivate a strong spiritual core that will give him the continued strength to continue the path he has chosen with this campaign.
Trump’s public pronouncements he has never asked for forgiveness for anything was not private. Those men you mentioned acknowledged they had fallen short and sought forgiveness. Trump has publicly pronounced he has not and will not. That needs to change - not for the sake of his candidacy, but for his own sake personally.
His shouting profanities at a campaign rally days after speaking to a “values voters” summit doesn’t lend confidence that this isn’t just a show, either.
Actually given his constant insults, playing the victim card, “he viciously attacked me!” etc. doesn’t give me the impression the man is comfortable in his own skin.
I’m not aware of any, “vicious attack,” by Trump that was not provoked. The man does hit back hard, no question.
