"Praying for the President"
By James Merritt
I Timothy 2:1-4

- You are Commander in Chief of the greatest military force in the world.
- You preside over the world's strongest economic entity whose budget exceeds $1.5 trillion.

- One hundred thousand of America's children are in prison, four out of ten live in broken homes, seven to fourteen million of these children will become alcoholics, 85 out of every 1,000 have received or will receive psychiatric help.

- Pornography is now a $6 billion business. Herpes and Aids have now infected 20.5 million people.4
- The debt is over $4 trillion and it is growing at the rate of $1 billion a day.
- You have an educational system where condoms are in, Bibles are out; guns are in, God is out; sex is in, virginity is out.
- To add insult to injury, 58% ...
