PRAYER SHOULD IT BE ALLOWED?
By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.
The following article came to me recently and I contended that I should pass it on. It has been slightly edited and a conclusion added.
Dear God,
Why didn't you save the school children at:
Moses Lake, Washington 2/2/96..?
Bethel, Alaska 2/19/97..?
Pearl, Mississippi 10/1/97..?
West Paducah, Kentucky 12/1/97..?

AND SATAN LAUGHED WITH GLEE!
Let's see,
I think it started when the satanic imbodied Madeline Murray O'Hare
complained she didn't want any prayer in our schools. And we let
one sick satanic mind controlled individual choose our future for us and we
said, OKAY!
AND SATAN LAUGHED WITH GLEE!!
----------------------------------------------------
Then, someone said you better not read the Bible in school, you've
got to keep the Separation of Church and State thing right,, after all, the
Bible says "thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbors
as yourself,"
And we said, OKAY!
AND SATAN LAUGHED
WITH GLEE !
(Continued)
Dr. Benjamin Spock
said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave...because
their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their
self-esteem. And we said, an expert should know what he's talking about so we
won't spank them anymore..
AND SATAN LAUGHED WITH GLEE.....
-------------------------------------------------------------
Then someone said teachers and principals better not discipline our
children when they misbehave. And the school administrators said no
faculty member in this school better touch a student when they misbehave because
we don't want any bad publicity, and we surely don't want to be sued. And we
accepted their reasoning...
AND SATAN LAUGHED WITH GLEE!!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Then someone said, let's let our daughters have abortions if they want,
and they won't even have to tell us parents. And we said, that's a grand
idea...
AND SATAN LAUGHED WITH GLEE!!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Then some wise school board member said, since boys will be boys
and they're going to do it anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms
they want, so they can have all the fun they desire, and they won't have to tell
us parents that they got them at school. And we said, that's another great
idea...
AND SATAN LAUGHED WITH GLEE!!
------------------
Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter what we do
in private as long as we do our jobs.
And we said, it doesn't matter what anybody, including the President, does in
private as long as we have jobs and the economy is good... and Satan laughed
with Glee!!
---------------------------------------------------------------
And someone else took that sick idea a step further and published pictures
of nude children and then stepped further still by making them available
on the Internet. And we said, everyone's entitled to free speech....
and SATAN laughed with Glee!!
------------------------------------------------------------------
And the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and movies that
promote profanity, violence and illicit sex... And let's record music
that encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes... And we said,
it's just entertainment and it has no adverse effect and nobody takes it
seriously anyway, so go right ahead...
and SATAN and all his angels laughed with glee!!
------------------
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience,
why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill
strangers, classmates or even themselves.
And Satan and his angels are laughing hard with glee!!
------------------
Undoubtedly, if we thought about it long and hard enough, those of
us who have a mind not controlled by satan, could figure it out. I'm sure it has
a great deal to do with... "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW"!!
LIFE
IS GOD'S PLAN,
and we all are going to have to answer for our own personal score....!!
Plainly, don’t get short changed. Let’s be ready to meet our Maker. The Bible (in Acts) teaches that to avoid hell and gain heaven - one must:
1) Believe In Jesus As Savior (16:31) 2) Repent Of Sins (17:30)
3) Confess Christ Audibly (8:37) 4) Be Baptized In Water (2:38)
5) Live A
Christian Life (14:22) 6) Be Active In the Church (2:47)
