Franklin Graham was a bit disappointing on Hannity with his resolve to stay above the fray, but continue to pray. Would have had a notch more respect for him if he just plain said, I’ll of course vote for Trump. (Our church is like that, pastor never takes a side)
With everything so clearly at stake, I wish Franklin Graham at least would state he will be voting for Mr. Trump. I wonder how his very-much-alive father feels!!
Pastor Jeffress told Lou Dobbs last night that he had a parishioner tell him that she did not like Trump’s tone and language. He added that he tried to impress upon her what would be lost under HRC.
I hope that Mr. Trump’s meeting today with 900 or so religious leaders serves to unify the Christian Right behind Trump. They should keep in mind that Trump has already been their champion in vowing to remove the oppressive LBJ Amendment which prohibited churches from endorsing or opposing candidates!!
The problem with pastors ‘taking a side,’ so to speak, is more than just tax purposes, but it can get in the way of delivering the Gospel message, which is the overriding job of a pastor, period, fullstop.
In my case, I try to teach my flock what’s sin and what’s not, and try to make clear that rendering unto Ceasar includes voting. Dunno if it’s working or not, but...
