November 18, 2024

The Senior Pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Texas has challenged Christians who supported Donald Trump to be humble and prayerful after Trump’s election victory.

The Christian Post reports that Jack Graham, who is also president of the Southern Baptist Convention, said, “The posture for Christians should be on our knees, the posture should be prayer, and we should pray for unity in the country.”

Graham continued, “We know the country is deeply divided and half the country is disappointed in the result of the election, and yet now is our opportunity. If you supported the election of President Trump, as I do, it is our opportunity to now, with the president and our government, to govern well and to respond with grace.”

The 74 year old pastor also warned that this isn’t the time to “spike the ball” but rather a time to show grace and humility.

Graham pointed out that Christians are called upon to be both witnesses and ambassadors of faith and he called upon them to help heal the nation’s divisions.

The pastor also called for spiritual revival above political celebration, saying, “We need to pray for spiritual revival; we need to do what we’ve always been called to do, which is to proclaim the Gospel, to witness to our neighbors and the nations. We can make a difference by living out our faith and praying for spiritual revival and spiritual awakening in our country. That, in the end, is what I’m most interested in.”
