Merry Christmas
Twas the month before Christmas*
*When
all through our land,*
*Not a
Christian was praying*
*Nor
taking a stand.*
*See
the PC Police had taken away,*
*The
reason for Christmas - no one could say.*
*The
children were told by their schools not to sing,*
*About
Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*
*It
might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would
say*
*
December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.*
*Yet
the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and
credit*
*Pushing
folks down to the floor just to get it!*
*CDs
from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*
*Something
was changing, something quite odd! *
*Retailers
promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*
*In
hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*
*As
Targets were hanging their trees upside down*
* At
Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be
found.*
*At
K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*
*You
won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your
ears.*
*Inclusive,
sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*
*Are
words that were used to intimidate me.*
*Now
Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*
*On
Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !*
*At
the top of the Senate, there arose such a
clatter*
*To
eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*
*And
we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*
*
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*
*The
true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and
discarded*
*The
reason for the season, stopped before it
started.*
*So as
you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream
Tree'*
*Sipping
your Starbucks, listen to me.*
*Choose
your words carefully, choose what you say*
*Shout
MERRY CHRISTMAS ,
not
Happy Holiday !*
Please,
all Christians join together and
wish
everyone you meet during the
holidays
a
MERRY
CHRISTMAS
Christ
is ¡The Reason¢ for the Christ-mas Season!

A Pastor with Guts!
Thought you might enjoy this interesting
prayer given in Kansas at
the opening session of their Senate. It seems
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 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.
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.'
