A prayer of our times: by Minister Joe Wright

steadyaku47 comment: this was forwarded to me by Pat. It would do us good to read, listen and hear what Minister Joe Wright had to say:

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 anti-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!"

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