Well saints we have done it again. We love to seek God “after the fact”. We love to call upon Him after things don’t go the way we’d like them to go. The decision of the Supreme Court Today and the President’s unbridled approval of Same Sex Marriage Nationwide is indicative of the way the country has been trending for quite some time. When we should have been voting, petitioning, marching, running for political office and PRAYING we were singing and holding revivals and preaching and teaching to each other the basic things of Christianity that we should already know.
This happened on our watch as saints. No generation nor nation in the modern age of mankind has ever promoted this “type of equality” nationwide. It is now time to rewrite the history books. We are going to have to change the definition of marriage in our dictionaries and encyclopedias. We are going to have to unlearn what our parents taught us growing up, what our teachers taught us growing up and what our conscience has convicted us about growing up.
I was taught equality growing up as it related to race, creed or color. It was the law. Even today I believe that every Christian has the obligation to minister the gospel to every one regardless or race, creed or color. Oops, now we must add race, creed, color and marital choice/preference. I am not one of the ones who are “NOW” crying out to God. I was crying when I saw it coming. Crying is over, now we have to have strategy and develop ministry to address this new reality.
What a day this is. I’m 58 years old and would never have imagined this type of occurrence in my lifetime. I wonder what China, Russia, Israel, England and the rest of the world, including the nations of the Middle-East think about us as a nation now?
Keep praying, (I don’t know what that prayer could be, we had our chance), but also develop strategies and ministry to help represent the kingdom of God and his righteousness in a untoward and wicked generation.
(If you’re gonna pray, Pray for your President).
