HR 36 (Kentucky) - A Resolution recognizing the Godly leadership...

[The Straight Story]

(not sure of date, just thought it was interesting)

A RESOLUTION recognizing the Godly leadership and example of Dr. David Githii and the Churches of Africa.

You are to be commended for setting a world-class example of what the Church of Jesus Christ can become when its leaders earnestly pray for the Holy Spirit to change them and their churches to conform to the teachings of Holy Scripture and the example of the Early Church.

WHEREAS, as Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa, Dr. David Githii has used his powerful leadership position with the Churches of Africa to inspire pastors to pray and to respond to God's Word presented in Psalm 51:10-12:

"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and uphold me with Thy Free Spirit"; and

WHEREAS, after earning a Ph.D. from Fuller Theological Seminary, Dr. David Githii returned to Africa to teach theological students to follow the examples of courageous believers throughout Church history who were martyred rather than compromise their testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ; and

WHEREAS, by God's grace and reliance upon Holy Scripture alone, Dr. Githii and multitudes of pastors throughout the Continent of Africa are being liberated from the bondages of Anglo styles and traditions which have quenched the operation of the Holy Spirit in their Churches; and

WHEREAS, in his celebrated speech to the Kenyan President and Parliament, Dr. Githii prophetically declared the sovereignty of God and the Kingship of Christ over the governments of all nations:

"Your Excellency, it is vital to point out that the Presbyterian Church of East Africa will not fail to point out any shortcomings of the Government. In doing so, the Church will be acting as a business partner in national building. This Church would wish that the Government accept and learn from criticisms from the churches and not to interpret criticisms negatively and look at those criticizing as their enemies. Our ears have heard a lot on 'leave politics to politicians and concentrate on the Bible.' The PCEA Church believes that the Bible and politics are intertwined. For those who say that Church and politics do not mix, we would like them to tell us which Bible they read"; and.....



NOW, THEREFORE,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky:

Section 1. The House of Representatives does hereby honor Dr. David Githii and the PCEA Churches in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania for world-class leadership in modeling righteousness, peace, and joy in doctrine, worship, and practice.

Section 2. The House of Representatives does hereby laud and congratulate Dr. David Githii, the Presbyterian Church of East Africa, and all the churches of Africa for leadership in securing democracy and Godly Constitutions that recognize God as the author of all civil and political liberties.

Section 3. The Clerk of the House of Representatives is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this Resolution to Dr. David Githii, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa, House Muhoho Avenue South C, Post Office Box 48268, Nairobi, Kenya prior to our national Day of Thanksgiving, the 25th day of November, in the year of our Lord, Two Thousand and Four.
