Trump-Supporting Pastor Breaks Ranks, Calls Biden President-Elect
Evangelical Christian leader Robert Jeffress calls Bidens victory a bitter pill to swallow, but, unlike Trump and other Republicans, he isnt calling it a fraud.
An evangelical Christian leader who has been one of Donald Trumps biggest supporters is breaking ranks with the president over who won the election.
In an op-ed for Fox News, Robert Jeffress said it appears that former Vice President Joe Biden will become the 46th president of the United States on Jan. 20, unless President Trump succeeds in legal challenges to the counting of votes in several states.
He calls Bidens victory a bitter pill to swallow for millions of Christians across our nation. But, unlike Trump and other Republicans, he isnt calling the election a fraud.
Jeffress admits its always easier to submit and to pray for someone when he was our preferred candidate, but added that Christians should welcome the chance to show [we] are not hypocrites.
He wrote:
When Joe Biden becomes president, we should commend him for the things he does right. We should condemn the things he does wrong. And above all, we must pray fervently for our president.
If President Biden succeeds, we all succeed. May God bless Joe Biden, and may God bless the United States of America.

@robertjeffress
Dont believe some false media reports that I have broken with our great President @realDonaldTrump. I support him completely. We do NOT have a president-elect until electoral college votes December 14. I will discuss on @LouDobbs Tonight" Friday.

Wonder how long before Fox disappears his OP ED?
Those were his exact words. - Joe Biden is president elect - right there in the title
Pastor Robert Jeffress: Biden is president-elect how should Christians respond?
Later on in the article:
Human governments and rulers change at Gods direction and design. Our faith and our salvation lie not in any human ruler, but in the ruler of rulers, the King of kings. We have to remember that even though the occupant of the White House is changing, the One who occupies the throne of Heaven hasnt changed.
The fact that God has established authorities means that by obeying the government, we obey God.
