God Bless America!

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 whole-heartedly become our desire so
that we again can be called: "One Nation Under God."

"If you don't stand for something, you will
fall for everything."
