Woe to those who call evil good

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 confess:
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 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 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.
Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent to direct us to the
center of your will.
I ask it in the Name of Your Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
The response was immediate.
A number of legislators walked out during
the prayer in protest. In six 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 "The Rest of the Story"
on the radio 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.
