    Sitting for National Anthem: Trend or Tragedy?

    Evangelical Pastors Advise Trump: Why Are Christians Divided?

    I'm extremely saddened by the negative comments toward pastors who have sought to advise Trump — Jack Graham, Jentezen Franklin, Harry Jackson, and many others who have helped me immensely — these are godly men.
