THE SCHOOL IS IN JENKS, OK
Today for the first time in 15 years of reportedly outstanding
subbing on my part in one of our nation's most outstanding public school
systems, I was summoned to the Sub Office to be called on the carpet
concerning some "bad reports" about me. One report was that I had closed my
eyes during the early morning "moment of silence". Now understand, I had
not bowed my head or moved my lips; I had merely closed my eyes for a brief
moment. The "terrible" problem with this is that I had possibly given the
impression of praying in front of students.
I read a news article in the local paper last month where
President Obama lit candles and bowed down to a Hindu priest in our White
House which is also a government facility, but I, a Christian, cannot close
my eyes during a moment of silence in the public schools.
I was also told that even if a student point blank asks me about
God or my personal faith, I am not to answer that question. I am to
respond, "What I think or believe does not matter. What do you think or
believe?"
Recently, I was in a classroom where I was supposed to teach the
following: "Humans came into existence 200,000 years ago in two different
forms, one of which died out." I did everything that the teacher said for
that day, as I always do, except teach that. I said nothing about it to the
students, but I left the teacher a very gracious note explaining that I
personally could not teach that but that I understood that she had to. The
school immediately took me off their list of preferred subs, which has led
to no jobs for me from that school coming up in the assignment system, which
has led to some days without employment for me. (I ordinarily sub every
school day.) Ironically the leadership in that school is especially and
strongly Christian!!! And this is in the Tulsa, OK, region- which is the
buckle of the Bible Belt!
The environment in the school system that I sub in has grown
increasingly liberal during my tenure, and never have I seen the "F" word so
rampant in the student population as it is this school year.
No matter what you may occasionally hear about the sad state of
our public schools, you simply have to be in our nation's public schools to
be really awakened to the dire necessity of prayer for the schools and
prayer for God to shake the Christian leaders who are in these schools. We
have an entire generation of U.S. citizens who are systematically being
taught anti-Christ agendas and philosophy, and without intervention from
God, our blessed nation has no future!
Our weak, compromised, and apathetic churches are no match against the
powers of darkness that have been unleashed in this nation. A report that I
read at the turn of this century said that our churches are now only getting
3% of the nation's youth saved. Nature abhors a vacuum so, meanwhile, our
public schools are faithfully and unrelentingly getting multitudes of our
youth converted to darkness.

Some folks passing through Texarkana last week noted signs in people's yards
that said, " America, prayer is our only hope" with 2 Chron. 7:14
underneath. We certainly need God's help!
I have no idea who started this, but I certainly agree with this e-mail. I
heard a preacher on TV who said if we pray for our nation that things will
turn around
After a day of contemplation and soul searching, I have decided to reach out
to my friends and relatives and ask you to do something that has been
troubling me for a long time.
Our nation is/has been on the slippery slope for a long time. If you look
around you will find corruption, greed, moral decay, and a steady move away
from the things that made us great. The principles upon which this nation
was founded are no longer our backbone.
However, we can reverse this trend.
JUST DO IT
2 Chron. 7:14
In God's word He states, "If my people who are called by my name will humble
themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I
will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their Land."
I am convinced that we must pray for our nation and its leaders and ask for
forgiveness. So I ask you to join me in this plea to our Lord.
Would you please send this to people in your address book (send it to all of
them); ask them to pray EVERYDAY.
25 to only the 5th power is 9,765,625 people. IMAGINE if each person
reaches TEN others...or all TWENTY FIVE!
If you do and they comply, we will lift up millions and millions of prayers
a day to our Creator. He will hear us and in faith will answer.
Let me just add a quote from Ronald Reagan "If we ever forget that we are
one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." I truly believe
this is why the United States of America is in the shape we are in today.
Most people have forgotten that we are one nation under God! Let us as
Christians stand up and remind people of this.
Have a blessed day
IN GOD WE TRUST!
