This Pastor has guts!!

Its very interesting

This is a 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-hon ored 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 possible, please pass this prayer on to  your friends. "If you don't Stand for something, you  will fall for everything."

Think about this: If you  forward this prayer to everyone on your e-mail List, in  less than 30 days it would be heard by The world. How many  People in your address book will not receive this  prayer.... do you have the Guts to pass it  on?
