President Trump is the only recent President who could hold a candle to President Reagan. Comparing the two is not a bad thing... and I doubt that Pastor Jeffress meant any disrespect. The two were men from different times. At the time President Reagan got a divorce it was considered at least as shameful as what people consider men who have had affairs these days.
Really surprised at all the folks here supporting ardent #NEVERTRUMPER Michael Reagan....He made it very clear he would not vote for Trump...Prior to the election he even did a CNN segment on why his father would not have voted for Trump...he is as bad as George Will:

I agree with you that times have changed. I don’t think Jeffress meant any disrespect. When Reagan ran I remember commentary from the evangelical right regarding his divorce—in some faiths, it was considered very taboo...Maybe still is in some.
I like this first comment from the linked article:
Michael Reagan is a never Trumper who cashes in on his father’s name by being a “conservative” but in reality his politics are much closer to his siblings. He is probably about as conservative as Corker, Alexander, Haslam and Boyd. Which is to say he is a ruling class, status quo, cheap labor Republican. The fact that Matheny accepts an endorsement from a rabid anti-Trumper should be a red flag

Some things change but God’s Word never changes…… Matthew 19:9. Great presidents and common folk alike, we all have to stand in front of God and give an account of ourselves.
Great post.
