A Sermon For the President and Congress


You have heard the families of the victims of yet another mass murder committed under your watch tell you that they have heard enough of your ‘thoughts and prayers.’

You should heed their request. When your lips move though your heart has not you profane the very act of prayer.

When you pray to God about yet another act of terror committed with a weapon designed to destroy life before any authority could possibly respond, who exactly do you think God would use to fix the problem if not you?  If you are unwilling to remove assault weapons from circulation, please do not dishonor God by praying afterwards that you are sorry it happened.  You knew it was going to happen.

So, if you are unwilling to act, then please do not pray. Just be honest. Tell God and tell the people what you mean: we are willing to let the innocents be slaughtered in the name of ‘rights.’  Tell the truth.

For if you do not tell the truth, then do you know what you are, when you pray hollow prayers which betray unmoved hearts?

Listen to Jesus:

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead…” (Matthew 23:27)

Those who have ears, listen.
