[Rhodes22-list] Kansas Politics

[Tootle]

 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
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. 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." 

 
    Guts to pass it on?
