>"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to

>who
>call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our

>ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and call it Pluralism. 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 is amazing what a slap of reality in their face will bring. Sometimes the truth hurts, but it needs to hurt before it can bring healing.
