I found this article recently and after reading it I though that this would be something good to put on my homepage. I think the Pastor's pray makes some very important points about what we are becoming as a society and how that differs from what the LORD would have us do. It also points out very well how we try to cover things up with the silly names so many of us call political correctness.

PASTOR TELLS GOD ON LEGISLATURE
Quoted from:
Paul Harvey News
Citizen Vol.18 No.8 p.2
Feb 21,1996

Man, oh man! They won't invite Pastor Joe to the Kansas State Legistature again!
They invited Pastor Joe Wright of Wichita's Central Christian Church to deliver the invocation -and he told God on them!
Now, God knows what they've been up to!
No sooner had their guest chaplain concluded his prayer than three Democrats on the state legislature were on their feet at microphoned protesting, "He can't talk like that about us!" Rep. Delbert Gross considered the invocation gross, calling it, "divisive, sanctimonious" and "overbearing."
Rep. David Haley called it "blasphemous and ignorant."
Rep. Sabrina Standifer echoed the indignation.
What in the world did Pastor Joe say in Topeka that incited the righteous wrath of three Democrats from Hays and Kansas City?
I've secure the entire text on the invocation so you can evaluate it yourself:
"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and to seek Your direction and guidance.
"We know Your word says, 'Wo unto thoes who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equalibrium and inverted our values.
"We confess that we have rediculed the absolute truth of Your word in the name of moral pluralism.
"We have worshipped other gods and called it 'multiculturism.'
"We have endorsed perversion and called it 'alternative lifestyle.'
"We have exploited the poor and called it a 'lottery.'
"We have neglected the needy and called it 'self-preservation.'
"We have rewarded laziness and called it 'welfare.'
"In the name of 'choice,' we have killed our unborn.
"in the name of 'right to life,' we have killed abortionists.
"We have neglected to discipline our children and called it 'building esteem.'
"We have abused power and called it 'political savvy.'
"We've coveted our neighbors' possesions and called it 'taxes.'
"We've polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it 'freedom of expression.'
"We've ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it 'enlightenment.'
"Search us, oh God and know our hearts today. Try us, and show us any wickedness in us. Cleanse us from every sin, and set us free.
"Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent here by the people of Kansas and who have been ordained by You to govern this great state.
"Grant them Your wisdom to rule, and may their decisions direct us to the center of Your will.
"I ask it in the name of your son, the living savior, Jesus Christ, Amen."
