Adam and Steve?

"And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." (John 3:19)

The days grow dark and weary, but take heart and rejoice! For yes, the light has come into the world!

Well brothers and sisters. If there has ever been an hour or a time where one must stand and say NO MORE. This is it. If the murder of countless millions of children in the womb has not shaken you to get out of your lazy-boy then this should. For the day is at hand when the very fabric (or what remains of it) of our society is coming to trial. The Prince of Darkness has been working tirelessly long hours, day upon day, year upon year, for this moment.

If you have not heard, Proposal 8 in California defining marriage as between one man and one woman has been struck down by a judicial activist. You see, even our judges have lost an understanding of truth. Well, if our degrading secularistic increasingly liberal culture gets its way, "Pro-Marriage" will become a common phrase. Not for liberals, but for those who really understand what God ordained marriage to be.

Don't brush this off, because I'm telling you now, that gay activists are licking their lips at the opportunity to finally take this debate to the highest court of the land. And they will. And what do you think that court would rule if they had no constraints? Well, lets see. If they can redefine the value of life why can't they redefine marriage? Do you get what I'm saying? We are soon to have a battle on our hands the likes of which has not been seen in any of our lifetimes. A battle for the very institution that has defined western civilization as we know it. A battle for the meaning of marriage.

Don't think that this battle will just be handed to us. No, now it is time to fight. To fight with all we got. To fight with ideas. To fight with the "sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." (Eph. 6:17) And most of all to fight with prayer! Yes, we can win. Yes, we can, because Christ reigns victorious over sin and death.

If marriage is redefined in this country then children will grow up confused and soon generations will not have any reason to get married at all. Then children will be diagnosed with more behavioral problems and will be seen as a commodity to be bought and sold; people will vote in more liberal politicians and laws; crime will rise; and finally when there is no difference between anyone, all self-worth, dignity and innocence will be lost. Eventually we will forget completely who we are. Just like we have forgotten the original beauty of Eden.

Now is the time. Now is our day. We must spend ourselves for that which is good, for that which is true, for that which is holy. Tell all your friends. Tell all your family. Tell everyone you know. For if we lose this, it will not stop here. The licentiousness will continue until society is no more.

What can I do?  First, visit The Manhattan Declaration website to read and sign the declaration. Then read up on the issue. And talk about what you know is right. If you are afraid of offending others then we will lose. Every good team requires a strong offense.

Lastly, keep Hope. Because the light has come into the world.
