Senate Chaplain Barry Black's prayer - Sounded like he was speaking directly to Republicans

[tulipsandroses]

My favorite part of this is "let this nation and world know that you alone are sovereign."
Mind you, I am not even religious. I just thought that was powerful for him to say in a time when we have arguments that Trump is basically sovereign. If we are using the sovereign definition - noun -supreme ruler, adjective -possessing supreme or ultimate power.

“Let us pray,” Black, who has served in that position for nearly 17 years, said before launching into what could be seen as a powerful rebuke in the name of God against Republican senators inching closer to this impeachment trial becoming the first in history to receive an article of impeachment without allowing a single witness or a single document of evidence to be admitted.

“Eternal lord god, you have summarized ethical behavior in a single sentence: Do for others what you would like them to do for you,” Black continued. “Remind our senators that they alone are accountable to you for their conduct. Lord help them to remember that they can’t ignore you and get away with it, for we always reap what we sow. Have your way, mighty God. You are the potter our senators … are the clay. Mold and make us after your will. Stand up, omnipotent God. Stretch yourself and let this nation and world know that you alone are sovereign. I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.”

2. Was just discussing this

On the phone. I emailed the link so those who missed it can spread it around.

Any so called Christian that did not get that message loud and clear was not listening.

Thanks
