Paul Harvey says:
I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his Theory of Evolution Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game. So what' s the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game. But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue. Yes, and this is the United States of America, a country founded on Christian principles According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect -- somebody chanting Hare Krishna?
If I went to a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.
If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad, I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.
If I went to a ping pong match in China, I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.
And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit.
When in Rome ...
But what about the atheists? Is another argument. What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer! Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations.
Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating; to pray before we go to sleep.
Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying. God, help us.
And if that last sentence offends you, well .. just sue me
The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we let that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority doesn't care what they want. It is time the majority rules! It's time we tell them, you don't have to pray; you don't have to say the pledge of allegiance; you don't have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right . But by golly, you are no longer going to take our rights away. We are fighting back. and we WILL WIN!
God bless us one and all ... especially those who denounce Him , God bless America, despite all her faults. She is still the greatest nation of all. God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God. 2008 will be the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and institutions ... and our Military come home from all the wars. Keep looking up.
'AND THAT'S THE REST OF THE STORY'
I believe its time we take our rights back and stop being complacent and fight the battle that is taking place. (Ephesians 6:12) This is not a battle of flesh and blood, but a battle of spiritual... and its time we get a Holy Anger and stand up for the next generation! How long are we going to sit by and watch the media and ways of the world raise and build the foundation of our children!
When are we going to START being the Christians that are IN the World but NOT OF THE WORLD and Stop being the Christians that are OF the World and Not in it!!!
What is it going to take? When will it be too late? Never forget that the one great gift that Satan has is patience... he comes to steal, kill and destroy he is quiet(John 10:10), subtle and influencing this generation more than ever!
So don't sit quiet- don't let another day go by that he takes another soul into his possession.
Who is our greatest enemy? Not ourselves but the flesh in which we are made of! Every soul needs a Saviour. (John 14:6)
So are you ready for battle? Are you ready to give up ways of this world? To serve and protect our God, the God of Peace, the God of Justice, the God of Healing, the God of THIS world, The God of Salvation... For my God is bigger than theirs and I will not rest until the day that EVERY knee bows. (Phil 2:9)
