I agree with what he preached in his prayer, but I always thought the opening prayer was to invite the Lord to help with the meeting, not a time for a long sermon.

He was showboating and most likley did more harm than good. The democrats now have an excuse to remove religion, in the form of prsyer, from the government meeting.

He was showboating . . .

That's all Democrats ever do. And he was showboating to make sure people noticed that not every black preacher has been bought off by the forces of sodomy and infanticide.

"...invite the Lord to help with the meeting..."

"But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!"

...and...

"The Lord says: "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught."

Yes, if he was “showboating” somewhat by actually saying something meaningful and heartfelt, then the hysteria ABOUT his feelings BY the demoncratic party members is even more telling.
