| There were people who left the COG when the singers from Lee sang at Obama’s inauguration. So, yeah...people get really stupid about this stuff. |

| Seriously - people left? |

| Are you kidding me? People left their church over the Lee Singers singing at the Obama inauguration? Oh my goodness - what's wrong with some people. I wasn't a fan but POTUS stands for "President of the United States" not "Pastor of the United States." No matter who is in there our first job is to pray for them. I just don't get some people. I'm proud of our General - he wants to do a great job - he really cares. If he visits Swaggart the "right" objects - If he visits the White House the "left" object. It remains true - the easiest and less resistant way is simply to do nothing. If you do anything, you are opening up for criticism (warranted sometimes and unwarranted). Again - I'm proud of a man who does what he feels is right and just lets the chips fall where they may! |

Tim Hill is a great man. Just because you attend a meeting, it doesn’t mean you are a supporter. He knows that he is the Overseer for people that are Democrats, Republicans and Independents, not to mention others outside the USA.
As for the Obama inauguration, I was told by more than one pastor that they lost members because of it. I figure it was best they left. Lee wasn’t there to support Obama. They were invited to sing by Sen Lamar Alexander long before we knew who would win the presidency. |

Why on earth would they leave over this? They already know that their church and their political party are at great odds over most issues, this wouldn't be anything new to them. Are they going to say something like "Well I know they condemn homosexual practice, gay marriage, baby-killin', drug use, humanistic anti-God public-funded education, and everything else my party stands for, but I can't believe he would go to an "evangelical meeting"!, I quit!"  |

It is a dinner, shucks I'd go no matter which president invited me. I would ask my wife which fork to use though! 
Bro Hill probably didn't have to ax anyone! (which fork to use?)

I cannot imagine declining an invitation to a White House dinner, regardless of who is the President.
Appearing with someone doesn't mean you agree with them.

1 in a large group of over 200 christian leaders. It wasn’t like he was invited to be on the cabinet. I respect trump by the way and thankfully he is reaching out to evangelical denominations.

| Trump is using evangelicals for his advantage. It helped him get elected. I wish just one of them would have the sense to help him out with the whole “I don’t need to repent because I’ve always been a good person†thing. |

That's not what he said. At least get the quote accurate.

"I try not make mistakes where I have to ask forgiveness," Trump answered.
When further asked about repentance again by Cooper, Trump said "I think repenting is terrific."
"Why do I have to repent or ask for forgiveness, if I am not making mistakes?" asked Trump. "I work hard, I'm an honorable person."
In talking about his Iowa appearance, Trump said, "We were having fun when I said I drink the wine, I eat the cracker, the whole room was laughing." |

Late last year, Trump told Republican pollster and focus-group guru Frank Luntz that when the real-estate mogul has done something wrong, he tries to correct his error without getting God involved.
"I am not sure I have," Trump said when asked if he'd ever asked God for forgiveness. "I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don't think so," he said. "I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't." |

| Trump’s faith is in himself. To some extent he gets that from Norman Vincent Peale. The rest he probably gets from his ginormous ego. |

How do you know they haven't? Trump is gonna do what Trump wants to do.

It is an assumption that he has not since he hasn’t made a public proclamation denouncing his previous statement of not needing to repent. Maybe he has! |
