Times are Changing!

"Times have changed. Today’s kids live will inherit a world where gay marriage is accepted and affirmed, even by the President of the United States. Christians who maintain the biblical witness against this practice will be labeled 'bigots.'" Tony Kummer

Pastor brought up an interesting point during his sermon on Sunday concerning gay marriage -- have you noticed that in gay couples one assumes the "male" and the other the "female" role? One of the partners in a homosexual relationship assumes a role they were never meant to fulfill. Seems as if the enemy has tried to counterfeit another one of God's ideas with an inadequate imitation. God's plan was for a tender and loving father and a compassionate and training mother.
Another quote from Tony Kummer's article at:

“Marriage is God’s idea”
"Before there was any human government or even churches. God invented marriage between Adam & Eve. It was supposed to be one man and one woman, promising to love and care for one another in a special way for all their lives. He said it was a pattern for all their children to copy. Marriage was a good gift from our Maker. It helps us to have strong families and live happy lives. When men & women follow God’s plan, it shows a little of God’s own faithfulness and love. The Bible event talks about human marriage to explain the way Jesus loves his church. At the core this is a theological issue."
..."We must love all people, but not hide God’s truth. There are many smart and nice people who don’t agree with what the Bible teaches. To speak up for what you know is not wrong, especially when done with attitude of respect. Christians should find way to be friends with all types of people, even when we disagree with something as important as marriage."
We are commanded to love our neighbor as ourself -- that includes those who disobey God's law, the sinner, while at the same time hating the sin. Which means we can not ignore or turn a blind eye to what we know grieves the heart of God -- His desire is for repentance which will be answered with forgiveness and restoration of our relationship with Him.
