Those Pesky Christians!

Should a Christian pray in the name of Jesus? Not if our state's politicians have something to say about it.

The Columbus Dispatch has an article on how one pastor's (I have to say, sweet) prayer was received by House members. It seems that the Scriptures he used were a bit too pointed, the prayers he prayed were a bit too specific, and the Name he invoked was a bit too Christian.

(If you want to see it & hear it for yourself, click here. But please be aware, it may convict you, offend you, or edify you.)

Also it is interesting to read how those who were offended reacted. They thought they were being proselytized!! But there was no gospel shared or invitation offered. The preacher spoke to God about the legislature's simple duty! OOOOOOoooooooooooo. How terrible!

Those who were offended want the Christians to shut up and change their belief system. They have no problem forcing Christians to conform to their religion of an ambiguous and inoffensive god. But simply pray a sincere and scriptural prayer to Jesus (with obviously no intent to proselytize) and look what you get: pure outrage.
