A Pastor with GUTS!

Thought you might enjoy this interesting prayer given in Kansas at the opening session of their Senate. It seems

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. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where 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.

With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'one nation under God.'

If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends.. 'If you don't stand for something, you will fall for everything.'

Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone on your e-mail list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by the world.

How many people in your address book will not receive this prayer......do you have the guts to pass it on?

Just shows that they are not taking our rights but it is we the people giving up our rights

We the people need to get off our lazy scared butts and put the fear of god into all who oppose what we stand for.

We are losing our nation out of fear. Compromise is what got us here and compromise is what is dragging this country

down the tube

What can one person do ? Get mad get mean and get active It's time to get evil,wicked,mean and nasty.

1+1+1+1+1+1+1 =

Washington DC ignores what we the people want they do what a few interest groups want and to hell with the rest of us

We need to put the fear back into our politicians.

It is time for all Americans to get off the couch dump the parties and rescue Uncle Sam.

No Surrender No Retreat and No Compromise
