Friday, the 26th day of June, we all realized we are no longer a Christian nation. The Supreme Court decided, after 150 years, that homosexual marriage was hidden in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of The United States of America. However, the truth of the matter is, it is not there. Furthermore, while this case was pending, Supreme Court Justices Kagan and Ginsburg performed same-sex ceremonies -- so much for a fair and impartial verdict! Nevertheless, no matter how this court does away with our constitution and the democratic process, we should not honor such a law.
The homosexual community says this new ruling is freedom, and we should accept it. But, for whom is this freedom: for the business owner who believes it’s wrong and doesn’t want to serve a homosexual couple by photographing their union, or for the baker who won’t bake their cake? Where is freedom of conscience, freedom of religion?
George Orwell once said, “The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it.” History has shown us that any nation which has embraced homosexual sin has fallen or been destroyed. Accordingly, Harvard sociologist Pitirim Sorokin found no culture surviving once it ceased to support marriage and monogamy (marriage between a man and a woman -- traditional marriage).
This new Supreme Court decision did not change the Word of God and it definitely didn’t change God. In truth, God’s Word, from the beginning to the end, clearly condemns immorality; and homosexual marriage will never be accepted by God. Therefore, we must keep believing and speaking the truth. It’s the only hope for people to be able to repent and get right with God.
This is a sad moment for America and for those of us who still believe in God’s inerrant Truth – His Word -- not a truth watered down by so-called politically-correct Christians. We must pray and stand up for righteousness: God’s way of living and thinking.
Just a Thought,
Steven, you didn’t realize on January 22, 1973 we were no longer a Christian nation? My allegiance ended then.
You can here more from his sermon of 6/28/15 here:

You can skip to 15:40 minutes into the sermon and stay especial to the 20:00 minute mark.
we’re still a Christian nation. we are just being ruled by secular elites. it’s happened before in history. it doesn’t change the nature of the belief system that underpins all of our founding documents.
there’s a lot of hyperbole about what the SCOTUS did, but here’s the reality. no matter what the libtards call it... all the SCOTUS did is legalize civil unions. no bureaucrat can perform a marriage if you believe that marriage is a joining made in the presence of God. this is why you can’t just get married in a church but must also file papers with the state. the church marries you. the state simply records this fact for legal purposes.
the SCOTUS decision just says that all states must now perform that bureaucratic function for homos. some were doing so already and have been for years i believe. just because CNN/MSNBC/ABC/CBS/NBC call it marriage doesn’t make it so.
until the day that the government starts forcing Christian churches to marry homosexuals, the SCOTUS decision is more PR than anything. any Christian denomination that jumps on the gay bandwagon now is simply showing their true colors and should no longer be considered a Christian church.
i don’t agree with the SCOTUS decision, but i’m also not doing any hand wringing over it. i don’t actually understand why some people think it’s our Rubicon moment as a nation. Obama and his ilk can pass any law they want, but it doesn’t change who we are as a people or what is true and what isn’t. in time, people will see that homos never really wanted to get married anyway. it’s just a way to advance their other agendas. it’s those other agendas that may end up being our Rubicon moment.
Letter and spirit of founding documents being ignored and even defied. Although the nation still contains many Christians, it is specious to say that the government is Christian at this point, beginning with education in public schools.
