It wasnt that prayer was taken out of our public school systems, which harmed the Nation, but rather it was that prayer was taken out of the Churches and our family rooms and that technology replaced family communication. While the Supreme Court decided favorably for Madalyn Murray OHairs 1963 lawsuit against the Baltimore School System that public school prayer was unconstitutional, the opportunity and vacuum for which this lawsuit created, was missed by the Church and Christian families. 4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as front-lets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. Deuteronomy 6: 4-9 My son, obey your father’s commands, and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction. 21 Keep their words always in your heart.Tie them around your neck. 22 When you walk, their counsel will lead you. When you sleep, they will protect you. When you wake up, they will advise you. 23 For their command is a lamp and their instruction a light; their corrective discipline is the way to life. Proverbs 6:21 We cannot blame a secular government for the failings of the Church and the lack of responsibility of God honoring parents. Yet the cure is not to politic or legislate, but to dedicate and dictate Gods Word beginning from our homes and into our Churches and out into the public square. To reinstate prayer, true repentant prayer into our Churches, from our Temples and our closets and family rooms. 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) I dont see any mention of school prayer here! To blame our Nations moral tragedy on our children not praying? This can only be because Churches and homes have lost their moral courage to do what is clear and true; humility, prayer, seeking Gods face and repenting or turning from our wicked ways. Dont blame the children, or the ungodly and unrighteous for our failure as a People of God. Just get it right and do the things which God has commanded and Christ has won!
