When Pastor Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate over fifteen years ago, everyone was expecting the usual politically correct generalities. But, what they heard instead was a stirring prayer, passionately calling our country to repentance and righteousness.
The response was immediate and a number of legislators walked out during the prayer. In six short weeks, the Central Christian Church (USA) had logged more than 5,000 phone calls, with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. Commentator Paul Harvey aired the prayer on the radio and received a large response.
Pastor Joe’s prayer is reprinted here as an encouragement and challenge for each of us to stand for the truth of the Gospel whenever the Lord gives us the opportunity because it is even more needed.
The Prayer:
“Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and seek Your direction and guidance. We know your Word says, ‘Woe on those who call evil good,’ but that’s exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values.
We confess that:
We 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 neglected the needy and called it self-preservation.
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 political savvy.
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, O God, and know our hearts today; 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 the 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.” – Pastor Joe Wright

A lot of people have brought up the fact that they won’t vote for Trump if he’s the eventual nominee. I just want to put something in perspective.
Justice Scalia’s seat is vacant. Ginsberg is 82 years old, Kennedy is 79, Breyer is 77, and Thomas is 67. Data shows that the average age of a Supreme Court retirement or death occurs after 75.
These are 5 vacancies that will likely come up over the next 4-8 years. The next President will have the power to potentially create a 7-2 Supreme Court skewed in their ideology.
Think about that… 7-2. If the next President appoints 5 young justices, it will guarantee control of the Supreme Court for an entire generation. And 7-2 decisions will hold up much more over time than 5-4 decisions which are seemed to be lacking in mandate.
Hillary has made it clear she will use the Supreme Court to go after the 2nd Amendment. She has literally said that the Supreme Court was wrong in its Heller decision stating that the Court should overturn and remove the individual right to keep and bear arms. Period.
Everyone saying that they won’t vote for one candidate or the other if they are the GOP nominee, please realize this. If Hillary Clinton wins and gets to make these appointments, you likely will never see another Conservative victory at the Supreme Court level for the rest of your life.
KILLARY MUST BE KEPT OUT OF OUR WHITE HOUSE!

Authorities in places like New York, Washington, Chicago and Los Angeles took special precautions like increased K9 sweeps of subways and additional police patrols. This was especially true around airports, subway stops and train stations, with scenes like those in the U.S. capital — where police pulled out and checked travelers at random — not uncommon.
Of course, these are all measures being taken to thwart efforts that may already be in the works by terrorists that have been allowed to infiltrate, and this must be stopped. As Col. West wrote earlier [22 March 2016] this morning:
Folks we can no longer be enslaved to political correctness and enable this vile enemy to infiltrate and terrorize us. We are not guilty. We have allowed the Islamists to have safe zones within our nations.
Via Vocativ:
“With the permission of God, the lions came to take revenge for the killing of Muslims in Syria and Iraq,” one supporter of the terror group posted on Twitter.Another declared: “#Brussels, if you continue your war against the religion of Allah then this is our response.” Another shared a graphic image that allegedly showed a man who was wounded, and declared: “Allahu Akbar, #Belgium_is_on_fire_from_explosives.”
A prominent user on an ISIS forum called on Islamic State supporters to change their Twitter profile pictures to images showing feet stomping on the flag of Belgium. The user also called on ISIS loyalists to use a hashtag declaring Mosul’s revenge against Brussels, “the capital of infidels.”
ISIS members are bragging that they have hit the heart of the western world. Useful idiots like Hillary and Obama are quick to spout the PC ideological garbage. The PC line only encourages further and stronger attacks but those imbibing the PC Koolaid have no clue how they are endangering all of civilization.
They, militant Islamists, are already assuring us that they plan on stepping up the attacks, tweeting out “What will be coming is worse.”

I’m a theologian.
Now I don’t know what thoughts just came into your head when you read that. What I know is that I tend to have a slightly erroneous picture formulate in my own head. (But i’m getting better)
Many of us Christians tend to think of theology as an abstract academic discipline with little bearing on day-to-day Christian life and activity. Therefore one of the first things we ought to do is to understand what theology is. Theos (God) logos (word); it means a word about God.
There is Christian theology, Muslim theology and atheist theology as well as a few others. …Atheist theology? …Oh yes, some atheists absolutely obsess on the God whom they vehemently deny exists and then they go to great effort, expending lots of energy and time, to try to get rid of the God they claim to not believe in…is that weird or what?
It is no wonder, then, that God calls them what He does.
Muslim theology is based on the Koran while Christian theology is talking and thinking about God in a distinct way based upon the Holy Bible which, even the Koran acknowledges, is the uncorrupted holy book of God. Sadly, for the followers of Mohammad, most of them don’t seem to be aware of that fact. That is understandable because of all the confusing contradictions contained in each of the various versions of the Koran.
Every Christian, by definition, knows God, thinks about God, and makes statements about God. Therefore every Christian is a theologian; some are better at it than others but every child of God is supposed to be a good theologian and that is accomplished by studying and knowing what is actually in the Holy Bible and what is not. Some, if they are asked to open their Bible to something like 2nd Hezekiah 3:16 will search and search while others will quietly smile. It is an indicator of the level of theological understanding, not the best indicator, but it is one.
I am an above average theologian but every Christian should be at least at my current level. I did not get to my current level of theological comprehension without lots of study and help from fellow Christians; however I am far from where I really should be.
If every Christian were a better theologian the world would be a far better place than it currently is.
…to be continued…

Stamp out individual thought? That sounds like every socialist dictator that ever wanted to take over the world. By the way, that always turns out bad, Tommy.
I don’t know who Thomas is or whether he is the actual author or someone who is angry with him posted that and attached his name. This showed up on Facebook and elsewhere. I went to his page where I found nothing of this nature. Thomas is definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer as evidenced by his page. However whoever wrote the piece attributed to Thomas is a racist bigot but that is something the democrats have long been known for.
Last I knew it is Americans who have constitutional rights, not a particular color. Without the 2nd you don’t have any of the other constitutional rights, anyway. The racist propaganda, especially that which comes from BHO and his fellow narcissistic propagandists, seeks to divide Americans and stifle rational thought.
Thomas, or whoever wrote the statement attributed to him, is part of the growing evidence that we are in a post-thinking era. In part, we can blame PC and the “intelligentsia.” We live in an age where we find scientists trying to create artificial intelligence while most of our educational institutions are creating artificial stupidity.
T. S. Ellott: “Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don’t mean to do harm-but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.”
The narcissistic personality disorder, race-baiting, divider-in-chief is symptomatic of the problem. We seem to have gotten so intimidated by political correctness that even our major media outlets, yes I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, dare not call people who illegally immigrate to this country “illegal immigrants: or even responsibly report on the fact that they are a financial drain on our system. Then there is the problem of fundamentalist Muslims, perhaps we should call them Mohammedans because that is who they are imitating, who, when they commit acts of terror, we are told not to call terrorists. Heaven forbid, that we should mention the unholy sacrament of the left …abortion… so I won’t.
Thomas, or whoever you are, the answer is – God.
It is time to stand up for the cause of The Christ and do our part in bringing about a brand new Great Awakening like the one that took place in the 1740s. We are way overdue for one and if we don’t have one it is going to get really, really bad. Therefore, 2nd Chronicles 7:14
