This is just part of an ongoing campaign by people who are misusing and misreading the Constitution to try and remove God from all aspects of our lives. Trying to force churches to preside over gay weddings, trying to force Christian groups to accept non-Christian leaders, trying to force Christians to forgo their beliefs in order to accommodate universalism. Satan is gathering his forces in an unprecedented attack on our freedoms. He isn't concentrating on Buddhists or Muslims but on Christians. This in itself should tell you that this isn't about the law. It's about Satan trying to diminish and destroy Christians by making our activities seem criminal and even destructive to our way of live. In other words, trying to make Christianity out to be the exact opposite of what it is. Don't be fooled. This doesn't have anything to do with equality. It has to do with Satan try to subvert this nation in to something that will serve his will, not God's.

People can be so foolish. So they actually believe that they can abolish God from the world. As long as one person remains faithful, as long as one church survives, as long as we refuse to accept their hated of the things that God has ordained, then the torch of God's will remains. They cannot destroy it not can they diminish His love as long as we remain faithful.

What's the big deal with sin? These Christians are so hung up on it. Don't think on impure thoughts. Why? Well, not only do they denigrate the opposite sex, they also lead to unhealthy and sometimes downright harmful activities. STD's are so commonplace because having multiple partners or homosexual relations are the fastest way to spread them. Dwelling on impure thoughts leads to an obsession with pornography which has ruined many live. So it's detrimental physically as well as spiritually.
This is the most obvious example. What Christians call sin are actions that not only have moral implications but physical ones as well. That is why God has such a "hang-up" with them. Not only do they cause separation between us and God, they also affects us in ways that are so insidious to our own well being that they preclude us from living a happy, healthy life. There are medical conditions that are not brought on by unclean living, but those are in the vast minority compared to those that are brought on by continually and unrepentantly living in sin.

I think we are going to remember this as a bad week for America. I am no fan of Obama but I would rather he just finished out his term than go down from multiple scandals. His bad policies we could reverse over time. The damage this will do to our government at home and in the foreign relations arena will definitely weaken us as a country. I can't help but think that if the general electorate was more conscientious and our media had at least made an attempt to to be impartial we would not be in this mess. Now more than ever we need to be on our knees in prayer asking God to restore the blessing that he once bestowed on our country. In my humble opinion.

It amazes me that people don't know how special they are to God. When Jesus died on the cross, He wasn't just thinking of mankind in general, he was thinking of you specifically. "Now the word of the Lord came to me saying, 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you."  (Jeremiah 1:5).
I know some people who don't think they are special or who think that they have no propose in life. Nothing could be further from the truth. God wants a personal relationship with each and every one of us. As we rely on Him, He also relies on us to come to Him and and be His messenger to a sick and dying world. He relies on us to spread the same love that He has for us. There is no greater calling than that.

"Saul was in hearty agreement with putting him to death. And on that day a great persecution began against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles"(Acts 8:1).
Did you ever wonder about the families of Paul's victims? Here was Paul killing and imprisoning followers of Jesus and doing it with joy. There must have been many people who prayed to God for Paul's destruction. There must have been many people who feared for their lives and prayed to God to save them. And what does God do? He forgives him and accepts him as an apostle to do the His work.
How infuriated would that have made you? Would you have the ability to forgive Paul after he killed your son or daughter? Would any of us be able to walk up and give him a big hug and welcome him as a brother?  To be perfectly honest, I don't know that I would be able to forgive Paul after some of the atrocities that he committed. That's what makes this one of the greatest stories of forgiveness and grace. If we relied on our own judgement instead of God's judgement to determine who is saved, there wouldn't be many (or any) people in heaven. We are not capable of that level of love. Only God is. If He could forgive Paul after all that evil acts that he committed, then why would we have any doubt that God would not forgive us?
