Probably an internet myth, but............

Post by LionPride »

As many internet myth's as there are out there, I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is one too. However, it still makes a whole of sense (unless of course your ideas lean to the left).

This Pastor has 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!"

I like a minister with passion and a backbone. Not some Oral Roberts type that says, "I saw a 900 ft. tall Jesus the other day, and boy was he MAD!

I just liked it when Oral Roberts University used to ask their potential students for a photograph before they accepted them into the college.
