We call ourselves Christians and Believers. A "believer", is someone who believes God's word. A "Christian", is someone who follows God's word and works to be Christ like. As Christians and believers it is time to speak up. To stand against the ungodly thoughts and ways of this generation. In Acts 17:30 it says "Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent. I like the King James version which says "to wink at". We should hope and pray that he has been winking at or overlooking the sins and failures of this time in history.
I love the first psalm, I think it is just about my favorite, and I try to follow this truth. Psalm 1 verses 1 through 6 says,
"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of
the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish."
Three groups are spoken of here....The ungodly, sinners and the righteous.
And to put it quite simply, to me it says that in that day, the ungodly are gone, the sinners will be there, but just there and the congregation of the righteous will commune with and be the partakers of the promise. I continue to work towards being a part of that congregation.
Our Supreme Court is trying to come to a decision today regarding Gay marriage. This is what brings these thoughts to mind. It would seem so simple, but we live in a time of the ungodly. A time of sinners and unbelievers. They would try to convince us that these things are ok. That we shouldn't deny them the same rights and benefits that are accorded to a marriage of a man and woman. I don't want to deny them any right or privilege, but to say that it is the same is foolish. Father, Mother, Son, Daughter, Husband, Wife. These are words that will take on new meaning. It is a simple decision for me. Live your life as you see fit.. Call it a Civil Union or whatever you wish, but don't call it a marriage. That speaks of acceptance by the Church and by God. That is not going to happen. At least not going to happen in any church that follows God's word. You want to say these things are normal for some. It is not. Live any way you want. Do whatever you desire. It is still NOT NORMAL!!!!! It is totally against nature. The natural creature will join together, the female will conceive and bear young.
All in all, I just want to say that what you are doing is wrong. I don't hate anyone and I may still be a friend to you but that lifestyle is really just not right.
If anyone wishes to comment....just click on (no comment), I don't know why this is done this way, but that is how it is.
