This interesting prayer was given in Kansas, USA, at the opening session of their Senate. Itseems 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 ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it Pluralism.* We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism.* We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle.* 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 embezzled public funds and called it essential expenses.* We have institutionalised bribery and called it sweets of office.* 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!"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 callsresponding negatively.The church is now receiving international requests for copies ofthis prayer from India, Africa and Korea.With the LORD'S help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and WHOLEHEARTEDLY become our desire so that we again can becalled "ONE NATION UNDER GOD."
An atheist was walking through the woods.
'What majestic trees!
'What powerful rivers!
'What beautiful animals!
He said to himself.Suddenly, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.He turned to look . . . and saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.He ran as fast as he could along the path.
He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear was closing on him ....
He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer ....
and then ..... He tripped and fell.
Rolling over to pick himself up, he found the bear was right on top of him .....
reaching towards him with its left paw ...and raising the right paw to strike ...
At that instant, the Atheist cried out, 'Oh my God!'
Time Stopped ...The bear froze .....The forest was silent ....
A bright light shone upon the man, and a voice came out of the sky ...
"You deny my existence for all these years, you teach others I don't exist
and even credit creation to cosmic accidents ....
Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament?"
"Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light ....
"It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now ...
but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian?"
... a pause ..." very well," said the voice ...
The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed ...
And the bear dropped his right arm ...brought both paws together ....
bowed his head & spoke ...
"Lord, bless this food, which I am about to receive.
