Saw this yesterday. Attorney General Greg Abbott is demanding that Houston retract all subpoenas. As of yet, they have not.
Here is what i wrote on my Facebook page concerning the situation:
In opposition to a recent story that has surfaced in which Houston Texas Mayor Annise Parker issued subpoena's to five Houston area pastors, demanding their sermons be delivered to her office, many Facebook members across America have suggested that each Christian in America send her a Bible. In my opinion, such a move would be fruitless.
Sending her a Bible is not really a good idea. More than likely, the Bibles would all end up in the city incenerator or the local landfill. She knows what is in the Bible. Otherwise, she would not be issuing those subpoena's. She more than likely owns one that she refuses to believe anyway. I believe she has a reprobate mind as those of her ilk are given over to. Notice the stages in Romans 1. She, being a sodomite, made it to the stage where she had been given over to vile affections and began operating in a manner that is against nature.
Then, because she does not want to retain God in her knowledge, but would rather serve the god that overlooks her abominable acts, she demonstrated her distaste for the true God by attacking His servants. She displays the reprobate mind described in Romans 1:28. The Greek for reprobate is the word adokimos. It is also translated as castaway or rejected.
Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, Romans 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Romans 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Romans 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Romans 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Very wise.
The thought of thousands and thousands of packages swamping her office is somewhat amusing.
But a great waste of Pearls cast before such swine
