Supreme Court’s Decision on Same Sex Marriage … A Nation on Fire

Fire in them there hills (photo shot with my telephoto camera from the side of our yard)

Over 3,000 acres burned north of Emmett, Idaho. Thankfully, by the next morning the fires had been mostly extinguished.

The brushfires of the other night remind me how our world appears to be blazing with more and more laws being enacted apart from the will of the of the American people who enjoy freedom of religion and the free exercise of, and free speech. Many states have voted in opposition to same-sex marriage, including California; yet, the will of American citizens has been abolished by judges who no longer believe in state and individual rights; and today, this includes the US Supreme Court.

Many believe money is behind this orchestration, with judges being paid under the table through powerful, money-rich lobbying groups who also extend alluring perks. Insiders additionally believe this to be the case regarding Obamacare legislation demands by the US Supreme Court.

This all reminds me of the idol business in the days of the Acts of the Apostles. Idol merchants were gaining money from the fools who were buying their idols or images to worship; all being performed in disobedience to God’s holy ordinances—2 Corinthians 6:14 and following, and many other passages. The merchants rose up with the agenda mantra, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians.” And they riled a crowd to chime in, providing strength in numbers, to cease the convicting preaching of Paul who exposed the lifeless idols cannot save, but Jesus Christ can. This message with conversions was robbing the merchants of their fat pocketbooks. Ephesians were turning from idols to serve the living and true God of the Bible.

People love to worship the works of man’s hands, including uplifting the arts of men, without offering glory to God who equips men with artistic abilities; nothing arising from ourselves—nothing apart from Him who crafts each person uniquely in the womb. Though, of course, many works of art should be burned due to their depictions of immodesty and other subject matters, which do not stand within the holy, pure and innocent truths of God’s Word, the Holy Bible. Someday all immoral subject matters will be burned.

Also in Acts 19, we note the on-fire believers, burning their magic books, those which encouraged sorcery, as do Harry Potter books today and countless other same-themed writings. This burning act, which refused compromise, resulted in a multitude of Ephesians coming to a saving knowledge of Christ, coupled with powerful preaching. “The Word of the LORD grew mightily and prevailed.” Bold believers gripping unafraid stands for God ushers in revival.

To gain an insiders’ view of homosexuality, an investigator ventured into a typical gay bar to film/interview those of this persuasion and found many admitted going after young boys and molesting them with no remorse. Of course, no one will find morals in such places or within the lifestyles of diseases and death.

In the military, with the withdrawal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, record numbers of sodomy cases have arisen. There have been approximately 14,000 reported rapes in one year, and those who dare to expose are persecuted in dreadful ways. It is believed this figure is low, being men are often ashamed to tell, and knowing the consequences can be unbearable. Even though those who sodomize deserve the death penalty, they are often protected. It is all about glorifying homosexuality and its destructive agendas.

You can rightly surmise with the new “counterfeit marriage” ruling, even more crimes of pedophilia and sodomy will be overlooked and more widely condoned, knowing such approval is already peeping out from under sexual agendas to the sickening of conservative hearts.

We also perceive authorities will be persecuting those of the lifestyles of life in expansing ways. There are no diseases or death by them; yet, punishment seems to await! Less people will be allowed to stand on natural marriage alone in this new realm when it comes to various businesses and now, possibly churches.

Of course, militant homosexuals despise natural marriage and desire its elimination. Homosexual, Kevin Jennings, President Obama’s former safe school czar, and one who our president upholds highly, stated, “presumed heterosexuality … is an artifact of oppression.” Is it any wonder, on the night of the US Supreme Court’s decision, our president had the white house illumined in rainbow colors as a sign of victory for the perverted of our land?

Christians need to be reminded of 2 Peter chapter 2, verses 4-6: For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (cities full of homosexuals, homosexual agendas and homosexual sodomy) into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;

God commands born again believers to intercede for our Christian freedoms that the Gospel might continue to spread and not be hindered. We are to pray for governing authorities to allow us to witness to others and to live peaceable and quiet lives.

Excerpt from 2 Timothy chapter 2: I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus …

Love in Jesus Christ the righteous, and the hope of glory for born again believers, Val Lee
