Alexandria, VA (AP) — President Barack Obama and his family attended Easter service at the Alfred Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia, whose history dates back almost 200 years to when Thomas Jefferson was in the White House. Obama along with wife Michelle and daughters Sasha and Malia were welcomed to the historic church by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley, who noted that like the first lady, he is a native of Chicago’s South Side. “How fitting that on the day we celebrate the rising of our Lord and savior, we also welcome our sitting president,” Wesley said, as the congregation rose to their feet in applause. “This is not selfie time,” Wesley said jokingly. “Let the brother worship in the house of God.” Churchgoers traditionally walk around to shake hands and give hugs during the greetings and announcements portion of service, but the pastor encouraged the crowd to stay in their seats and greet only their closest neighbors, as the sanctuary was tightly secured with Secret Service agents. The choir— including women in purple dresses and men sporting purple ties— sang a stirring rendition of the hymn “He Lives,” prompting most of the church, filled to capacity, to clap, sing and sway to the thumping organ keys while ushers collected the offering. The lively pastor based his sermon around a scripture from 1 Corinthians 15 on the life and resurrection of Christ. “Where do you stand in the resurrection of Christ,” he asked. “You either believe it or reject it.”

It’s the anti-non sequitur.
> Obama goes to Church even though he’s a hypocrite.
Got to keep up the Taqiyyan lyin’ act for The Project’s sake and make an appearance at a Christian church to keep up the facade as he sells out our country and its future to foreign invaders. Even demons and the devil know scripture....
But, they have had lots of muslim celebrations.
Bingo. “Obama family worships at historic Baptist church in Virginia.” Nonsnese. All form, no substance, a beautiful, empty, and vacuous portrayal for the feckless one, the fool on the hill.
Is APOSTOSY spelled with an S or a C?
Or, better yet, what’s that Arabic word for “allowable lying” to the infidels?!?
Sorry. I’m no grammarian.
Amen even Satan believe in Jesus but not the way we Christians believe.
I think that D'Hors was far greater.
That's why people are always accusing me of putting D'Hors before Descartes.
{;^)
Jefferson was in the White House almost 200 years ago?
That is some revisionist history.
Why not a mosque?
A straightforward presentation of the gospel
I Corinthians 15
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
Hope it would plant a seed in the King and his family. No?
[[Sickening. Every day is a new insult to all things reasonable, sane or sacred with these people.]]
I have been saying this for 6 long years now- EVERY Stinking day something either just as outrageous, or MORE outrageous than the day before is done by this administration or by those that support him. Hardly a day goes by where something outrageous doesn’t happen- it is just staggering that something outrageous could happen for 2196 days, but it practically has under this administration- sure, there has been a week or better sometimes where nothing really happens, but htose are few and far between!
True.
it would have been perfect IF the guest speaker for the service was Netanyahu
[[Is APOSTOSY spelled with an S or a C?]]
You’re way off, it begins with an O
You went a lonnnnng way to get there ... But you got your facepalm! Congrats!
Can I vomit now?
Well, you weren’t the intended target, but it still counts.
I like to inflict at least two or three FPs per day when possible.
Sometimes I have to resort to telling myself jokes I haven’t heard yet.
Kudos to the pastor for staying on topic and the main focus. Not allowing the focus to shift to someone other than the Lord They weren’t there to celebrate Obama who seems tends to think that Christians are hoodwinked by this masquerade.
Was there any evidence of lightning strikes?
And, maybe the obamas, for the first time in their lives, heard the true message of the gospel. They sat under Jeremiah Wright’s anti-Christ teachings for 20 years, so I doubt they actually heard the gospel there. One can dream, can’t one?
