Jerry Falwell wrote this for the Washington Post explaining his decision to endorse Donald Trump. Overall he's saying that he would prefer a strong business leader over somebody who is moral and a strict follower of Christ. He even brings up Jimmy Carter at the end (which I quoted below) but does not mention the great lengths Ronald Reagan went to in order to help Christians who were being demonized at the time.

Key quotes from the article:

"I admit my view of the world is colored by my legal and business experiences at Liberty. I respect the opinions of those who believe that it is now more important to elect a career politician who shares their constitutional views or someone who shares their faith instead of a business professional, but I cannot agree."

"As I said, Jimmy Carter is a great Sunday School teacher but the divorced and remarried Hollywood actor Ronald Reagan saved this nation when it was in nearly the same condition as it is today.

Jesus said 'Judge not, lest ye be judged.' Let’s stop trying to choose the political leaders who we believe are the most godly because, in reality, only God knows people’s hearts. You and I don’t, and we are all sinners."

I posted an article written by Dr. Everett Piper, President of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, in which he explains why he will not be inviting Trump to speak in his college's chapel, as Jerry Falwell, Jr. did.

Off the subject, but you may also enjoy reading the following article:

This is Not a Day Care. It’s a University!, in which Dr. Piper addresses political correctness to his students.
