    Got this on email it has interesting points




    This Pastor has guts

    It seems prayer still upsets some
    people. Please read....

    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
    powerand called it politics.


    We have coveted our
    neighbour's Possessions and called it ambition.


    We have polluted the air
    With profanity and Pornography and called it
    Freedom of speech and expression.


    We have ridiculed the time


    Honoured 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

    Wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be
    called "one

    Nation under God."

    What a lot of our legislators forget is our country was founded on solid christian beliefs and morals. And our forefathers all believed in and trusted God in there decision making to help better our great country.We need to go back to these beliefs and practices if we want our great country to ever be respected as a moral and just world power. AMEN!!!!!!!
