Colson as usual thinks the answer to this problem lies with government.

I am one Christian who has been silent on this issue because I realize that this problem cannot be solved by government but only by God Himself.

Jer 17:5
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

For too long Christians have been encouraged by people like Colson to trust in man, to trust in politicians, to trust in judges to solve our social problems.

And where, I ask has that gotten us?

We have great confidence in the flesh and zero confidence in almighty God.

The reason we can't solve our "gay marriage" problem is the same reason we can't solve our abortion problem , or our illegal alien problem, or any of the other problems we have in this country.

All of these issues are signs of God's judgment on a nation that has turned it's back on Him. And don't think that it's because of all those sinner out there.

It's not because of the homosexuals. It's not because of the abortionists. It's not because of the ACLU or the pornographers.

It's because of God's people. Those of us who are called by His name. We are the ones who must repent. We must repent of our trust in man. We must repent of our pursuit of material wealth. We must repent of our love of the world and worldly ways.

Look in the mirror Christians it's our fault!

2 Chron 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

"This issue has the potential to redefine and, ultimately, to destroy the institution of marriage in this country—and with marriage goes the family. You can’t ignore this."

Selfish as it may seem, in the quarter-century I've been married (to the same lady), I've realized the marriage she and I have is because of the values she and I hold of the institution marriage - not what others nor the government thinks or believes. Thus, my value of the institution begins with me. Same with family, MY family....

BTW, that doesn't mean we'll ever personally accept faggot unions as marriage...
