Please pardon me for this personal swipe at the President.
Arch-hypocrite President Trump is now giving an address on Billy Graham at the great evangelist's state funeral. Yes, Billy Graham did attend a Billy Graham attended a Billy Graham crusade while he was young. He praised Billy Graham for getting large crowds to see him at such venues as the old Yankee Stadium. He said more about Billy Graham being an American than about any influence upon the President's faith.
Donald Trump is simply a nominal Christian, the sort who magically becomes a Christian when the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus are around but seems to love the sermon but go back to his money-grubbing, grandiose ego trips, and crass hedonism. It is not the fault of Billy Graham.
I think that most of us would concur that the best thing that he could do for himself and America, in view of the culture that he is part of, would be to commit his life to Jesus as Billy Graham called nominal Christians like him to do and so conduct his life. Not one depravity of this President is "Christian".
