Rise Up Christian Church
November 19, 2008
Thank You Brother
HOORAY, HOORAY, HOORAY for Paul Harvey. I myself have been
grumbling and wondering how a handful of people have been
able to take our right to pray in public places away from
us. So, agreeing with Paul, I GLADLY will forward this
email AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Folks, this is the Month that we RE-TAKE AMERICA
********* Get Ready *********
Keep this going around the globe ... Read it and forward
every time you receive it. We can't give up on this issue.
Paul Harvey and Prayer
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
tell that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard
that the vast majority doesn't care what they want. It is
time that the majorityRules! 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.
Let's make 2008 the year the silent majority is heard and
we put God back as the foundation of our families and
institutions. And our military forces come home from all
the wars.
Keep looking up.
If you agree with this, please pass it on.
If not delete it.
'AND THAT'S THE REST OF THE STORY'
