Christianity Today, the Billy Graham founded magazine has taken a bold step...
The evangelical magazine, which most Trump supporters read is calling for the President to be removed from office, stating that he did indeed try to use his power to manipulate a foreign power into interfering with the 2020 election...calling Trump morally lost and confused.
"The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president's political opponents. That is not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral."
The reason many are not shocked about this is that this president has dumbed down the idea of morality in his administration. He has hired and fired a number of people who are now convicted criminals. He himself has admitted to immoral actions in business and his relationship with women, about which he remains proud. His Twitter feed alone-with its habitual string of mischaracterizations, lies, and slanders-is a near perfect example of a human being who is morally lost and confused.
None of the president's positives can balance the moral and political danger we face under a leader of such grossly immoral character.
Trump's evangelical supporters have pointed to his Supreme Court nominees, his defense of religious liberty, and his stewardship of the economy, among other things, as achievements that justify their support of the president. We believe the impeachment hearings have made it absolutely clear, in a way the Mueller investigation did not, that President Trump has abused his authority for personal gain and betrayed his constitutional oath. The impeachment hearings have illuminated the president's moral deficiencies for all to see. This damages the institution of the presidency, damages the reputation of our country, and damages both the spirit and the future of our people. None of the president's positives can balance the moral and political danger we face under a leader of such grossly immoral character.
Graham was known as "Pastor to the Presidents," during his life he met and prayed with numerous Presidents, who needed guidance, especially during difficult times.
President Barack Obama once met with Graham and his son Franklin at his Montreat, North Carolina, home.
