Christian Living
Most of my readers know the lack of prayer in public and private sectors is one of my truly hot, sizzling hot, buttons. When I was sent the prayer that Rev.Joe Wright, a pastor with GUTS, opened the Kansas Senate with I knew I had to pass it on to my readers
It is said some of the legislators walked out in the middle of the prayer. I would suggest strongly their consciences wouldn’t allow them to listen. The truth shall set you free! But the legislators couldn’t think of Free. They are likely more interested in votes than leading a Christian life. What if some of their constituents are Christian? How many votes would they actually lose when election time comes?
Here is Pastor Wright’s prayer in its entirety.
"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 ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare
We have turned over control of our lives to government and called it entitlement.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
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 replaced the “3 Rs” in our government schools with social engineering and called it diversity.

I really don’t care if anybody finds my philosophy boring or against their ‘religion’ because I was born into a Christian home, joined my church when I was 18, was saved when I was 21 and, as I have stated in previous articles, ‘I think this country is going to hell in a hand basket’ and if the Christians don’t take a united stand then the 17% who tell 83% of us what to do, will win again.
I’m not afraid to give my email [email protected] for rebuttal or comment, but the delete key on my computer is just a click of my index finger away for those who think I am wrong.
