"One man with courage is a Majority" Thomas Jefferson
Hi Peter & Friends,
This was just shared with me by email from my Friends over at at The Patriot Action Network and I wanted to share it with all of you.
A Pastor With GUTS!
Thought you might find this interesting. This prayer was given in Kansas at the opening session of their Senate. It seems that prayer still upsets some people.. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:
Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and to seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.....
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
Amen!
The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. However, in just 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India , Africa and Korea .
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,'and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.
My Friends, God is still All-Powerful and He is still in control. We need but ask, and He will save us from the Evil, Heathen, Liberal, Scourge that has risen to Power not only in our Beloved United States, but throughout much of today's World.
We must Pray to Him for Deliverance, and we must stand steadfast alongside Brave men like this Pastor and others like him, who will not bow to the Insanity of Political Correctness, but instead will hold high and carry forward the Righteous Banner of our Lord into Battle against these forces of Evil.
May God Bless You My Friends,
Phil
