The post was meant for you,as a continuation of the discussion about the fake news story about the pastoral prayer.
I did not see gub’s post until after mine was sent.
My remark about “solid Biblical grounds” was necessary because much of the blowback the pastor received was probably emotion-based.
The unhappy concregants can argue with the pastor, but they cannot argue with a clear dictum from Scripture.
Thank you.

.@PlattDavid, who led his congregation at @McLeanBible in praying over Pres. @realDonaldTrump on Sunday, is catching flak from members who said they were “hurt” by this. I can’t imagine anyone being hurt by their pastor praying for the President in obedience to God’s Word! 1/3
1 Tim. 2:1-3 instructs us that, “supplications, prayers, intercessions, & giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings & all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet & peaceable life in all godliness & reverence. For this is good & acceptable in the sight of God...” 2/3
Sadly, we live in a day when there is nothing that isn’t controversial—even prayer! 3/3
