After fumbling with both his debate performance and his interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, the president received the backing of Church of God in Christ (COGIC) Bishop J. Louis Felton.
ABC News shared the story of how Felton and his Philadelphia church encouraged the president.
“We want you to know, President Biden, that Bishop Morris is 91 years old, on his way to 92,” Felton said. “And so, Mr. President, since you are only an octogenarian sitting next to a nonagenarian, don’t let anybody talk about your age. You’re a young whippersnapper.”
Getting up to speak at the Mount Airy church of God in Christ, Biden discussed faith, using Romans 8:28 in his message.
“I’ve always felt the power of your faith, in good times and in tough times. The fact is, the Scripture says, ‘All things work together for good. To those who love God, are called according to His purpose,’” Biden said. “Our purpose is to serve others. That’s our purpose. To know everyone to be entitled to be treated with dignity and respect. To know faith without works is dead.”

Biden continued his message by telling the congregation to be doers of God’s Word.
“In this nation that means keeping our eyes on the North Star. The very idea of America, that we’re all created equal in the image of God,” Biden said.
Biden’s visit at the COGIC Church comes just after he told George Stephanopoulos that he would only get out of the president race if God Himself told him to.
“If the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get out of the race,’ I’d get out of the race. The Lord Almighty’s not coming down,” Biden told Stephanopoulos.
As calls for Biden to exit the presidential race continue to grow, we will have to keep an eye on whether or not he will stick to his word about staying in the race or if the Democrats will have to find a different candidate.
