He’s gonna win Iowa. Ping.
The media checked the collection plate? But yet in 8 years can’t find out anything about Obama hmmm
I love the bit about the two crisp 50 dollar bills. He has a bit of Sinatra about him, that man. Together, you know, they paid the Central Park Jogger’s bills.
Any sermon on humility would make everyone of us take a deep gulp cuz there is no “standard humility” scale.
The New York Times talking about Humility, priceless.
Anybody recall any Articles about Obama attending Church and Humility being discussed? Didn’t think so...
Of course it (the Book of Proverbs speaking on humility, written before Christ's birth) was "aimed specifically at" you, Donald.
It was also aimed at all of us!
A good man once said to me, "take the cotton out of your ears and stuff it in your mouth! You might actually learn something you didn't already know!"
How much has Obama given to church since he took office?
How many more articles of Trump’s mythical “conservatism” is needed to dupe the voters that the wind sock had actually been transformed from a lifetime of LIEberalism? He’s running out of time.
There’s a good chance the “humility” speech was aimed at the media, attending the service only to try and dig up dirt on Trump.
The service, which Trump's campaign invited several reporters to observe, included hymns, readings and a performance by the children's choir. Cream-colored stained glass in the window cast a golden glow.
At one point, Trump shared a prayer book with Debra Whitaker, an Iowa supporter seated to his right. She put her hand gently around Trump's waist as the congregation sang Hymn 409, "God is Here!" Trump could be seen by some mouthing along.
At one point, as church-goers offered each other wishes of peace, Trump received warm greetings from those around him.
When it was time to offer tithes, Trump was seen digging into his pants' pocket. Two folded $50 bills were later spotted in a collection plate that was passed down his pew.
One reading during the service, about the importance of humility, included a reference that caught Trump's ear.
"Can you imagine eye telling hand, 'Get lost, I don't need you' or hearing the head telling the foot, 'You're fired, your job has been phased out?'" the reader said. "You're fired!" was Trump's signature catchphrase when he hosted "The Apprentice" television show.
"I heard that," Trump later said, when asked about the reference. "I wondered if that was for me. They didn't even know I was coming, so I doubt it. But it's an appropriate phrase."
In her sermon, the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Pamela Saturnia, also made several references with resonance for the 2016 race.
"Jesus is teaching us today that he has come for those who are outside of the church," she said, preaching a message of healing and acceptance for "those who are the most unloved, the most discriminated against, the most forgotten in our community and in our world."
Among those she cited were "the Syrian refugees" and "the Mexican migrants." Trump has advocated barring all Syrian refugees from entering the country because of potential security risks and deporting all of the estimated 11 million people living in the United States illegally. He's said he wants to create a safe zone for refugees instead.
So many Christian pastors are weaklings and wankers.
Very liberal PCUSA church. Wish he would go with the OPC or PCA for conservative Presbyterianism.
bump
Ridiculous-on-many-levels ping.
I can't find it now but, I'm pretty sure Kaufmann lobbed some harsh words at Cruz a week or two ago for his (conservative) plan to eliminate the ethanol mandate.
