citizens.

Congratulatory letter to President George W. Bush from Dr. Bob Jones
III
November 3, 2004

President George W. Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President:

The media tells us that you have received the largest number of
popular votes of any president in America's history. Congratulations!

In your re-election, God has graciously granted America-though she
doesn't deserve it-a reprieve from the agenda of paganism. You have
been given a mandate. We the people expect your voice to be like the
clear and certain sound of a trumpet. Because you seek the Lord
daily, we who know the Lord will follow that kind of voice eagerly.

Don't equivocate. Put your agenda on the front burner and let it
boil. You owe the liberals nothing. They despise you because they
despise your Christ. Honor the Lord, and He will honor you.

Had your opponent won, I would have still given thanks, because the
Bible says I must (I Thessalonians 5:18). It would have been hard,
but because the Lord lifts up whom He will and pulls down whom He
will, I would have done it. It is easy to rejoice today, because
Christ has allowed you to be His servant in this nation for another
presidential term. Undoubtedly, you will have opportunity to appoint
many conservative judges and exercise forceful leadership with the
Congress in passing legislation that is defined by biblical norm
regarding the family, sexuality, sanctity of life, religious freedom,
freedom of speech, and limited government. You have four years-a
brief time only-to leave an imprint for righteousness upon this
nation that brings with it the blessings of Almighty God.

Christ said, "If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am,
there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my
father honour" (John 12:26).

The student body, faculty, and staff at Bob Jones University commit
ourselves to pray for you-that you would do right and honor the
Savior. Pull out all the stops and make a difference. If you have
weaklings around you who do not share your biblical values, shed
yourself of them. Conservative Americans would love to see one
president who doesn't care whether he is liked, but cares infinitely
that he does right.

Best wishes.

Sincerely your friend,

Bob Jones III
President

PS: A few moments ago I read this letter to the students in Chapel.
They applauded loudly their approval.

When I told them that Tom Daschle was no longer the minority leader
of the Senate, they cheered again.

On occasion, Christians have not agreed with things you said during
your first term. Nonetheless, we could not be more thankful that God
has given you four more years to serve Him in the White House, never
taking off your Christian faith and laying it aside as a man takes
off a jacket, but living, speaking, and making decisions as one who
knows the Bible to be eternally true.
