If you're upset that your Pastor prayed for someone that is not a good reflection on you. Even if you think the guy is the worst person on the earth the bible clearly says what to do in this situation.


If you're a christian you should be praying for your President (and civil servants) no matter who it is.

If you consider yourself a Christian and have to have it explained to you why a pastor prayed for anyone you might not be the good Christian you think you are. 

Isn't the idea to pray for the sinner? 

Isn't it his job as their pastor to explain why his actions were those of a good christian and to help his congregation grow in their relationship with god by understanding that? As someone who is not religious and would likely be frustrated if I was in a position where my pastor did that, reading his words gave me a far greater understanding of how a christian would view that situation and I have respect for how the pastor handled being told during his service that POTUS would be there in minutes and wanted him to pray for him.
