The non-profit organization Faith in Public Life (FPL) launched an advertising campaign that questioned Donald Trump's moral capability to lead as the president of the U.S. One of the advertisements featured best-selling Christian author Max Lucado denouncing the Republican presidential nominee.

Four short videos have been released by FPL on popular social media sites such as Facebook, Youtube and Pandora. According to Christian Post, FPL will also run the advertisements on news websites targeting key battleground states such as North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, Georgia and Florida.

In the video titled "Lucado," the author is heard criticizing Trump for insulting women while calling himself a Christian.

"I would not have said anything about Mr. Trump if he didn't call himself a Christian," he said. "Here's a man who holds up a Bible one day and calls a lady 'bimbo' the next," Lucado added.

The author was referring to one of Trump's social media posts in which he retweeted a supporter who referred to Fox News host Megyn Kelly as a "bimbo." The advertisement also played a clip from the candidate's interview with CNN where he remarked, "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever," referring to Kelly.

Lucado went on to denounce Trump for having "the audacity to make fun of a lady's menstrual cycle."

Another FPL video showed a clip from another CNN interview where Trump asked whether he should repent and ask forgiveness if he has not committed any mistakes. The third advertisement questioned the candidate's ability to be a role model for children.

Near the end of the three advertisements, a narrator asks the question, "Is this the kind of leadership Christians want for America?"

The narrator concluded the first three videos saying, "Let's tell Donald Trump to be more respectful."

The fourth advertisement alleged that Trump praised the dictator Saddam Hussein and Vladimir Putin.

"He praises Saddam Hussein, who gassed his own people including women and children. He praises Vladimir Putin, who's killed his political opponents," the narrator declared.

At the end of the video the narrator said, "Let's tell Donald Trump to stop praising the dictators."

Earlier this month, FPL president Rev. Jennifer Butler led over 700 Christian women in signing a joint statement condemning Trump for his lewd comments against women.
