Let us pray.  Almighty God~ we praise you for the 1~050~000 petitions which we helped deliver to the Senate~ who voted 78-13 to amend the hate-crimes bill to protect “any exercise of religion (regardless of whether compelled by~ or central to~ a system of religious belief)~ speech~ expression~ association” so long as incitement to physical violence is not intended.  God we pray you protect pastors right to preach the gospel of liberty from sin~ from Matthew 1:21~ they give him the name Jesus~ for he will deliver us from our sins.  In Jesus name~ Amen.

Hate Crimes Partial Defeat – Sen. Leahy makes “conspirators” guilty

Let us pray.  Almighty God~ we regret and defy the partial gutting of the good Brownback amendment to the hate crimes bill~ in the bad side-by-side amendment also passed by Senator Leahy~ who legislated “The Constitution does not protect speech…conspiring to commit…an act of violence.”  God we therefore dare to publicly quote the now illegal Old Testament scripture from Leviticus 20:13~ “If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman~ both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.”  In Jesus name~ Amen.

5. Thursday 23 July 09 One-Minute Prayer:

Sotomayor refuses “precedent” which bans homosexual marriage 

Let us pray.  Almighty God~ we pray for the defeat and filibuster of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor~ who in hearings refused to acknowledge as “binding precedent” the 1971 case of Baker v. Nelson~ which dismissed for want of substantial federal question~ any claim the U.S. Constitution might protect the right to homosexual “marriage.”  Meanwhile she admits Roe v. Wade is “settled law” legalizing child-killing~ but she thinks traditional marriage remains unsettled?  Jesus~ help us defend marriage as you did in Matthew 19~ between one man and one woman.  In Jesus name~ Amen.

Federal court tosses challenge to California Prop 8 marriage

Let us pray.  Almighty God~ we rejoice at the decision of federal judge David Carter~ who dismissed a challenge to Proposition 8~ California’s constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman~ and also dismissed a challenge to the federal Defense of Marriage Act by two homosexuals in California.  God protect the voice of your people~ who have already defined marriage the same way Jesus did in Matthew 19~ stating “at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female~’… what God has joined together~ let man not separate."  In Jesus name~ Amen.

CORRECTION:  Last week’s Thursday prayer incorrectly stated the Rappahannock County Jail had censored religious quotes in mail from mothers to inmates.  It was actually the Rappahannock Regional Jail.
