IF YOU LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, AND YOUR CHURCH IS MARRYING PEOPLE OF THE SAME
SEX, RUN!!! ANY CHURCH OR PASTOR WHO MARRIES PEOPLE OF THE SAME SEX IS AN
ABOMINATION IN THE EYES OF GOD!

In the ’60s, prayer in public schools became illegal. In the ’70s, the
Federal Government made it legal for babies to be slaughtered. Now in the
first decade of this new millennium, God’s definition of marriage has been
legally redefined. Let me help you understand the reality of what happened
at 5 pm PDT on June 16, 2008 in the State of California. It is now legal for
people of the same sex in that state to get married, just like it is in
Massachusetts. It is now only a matter of time before the other 48 states
will allow same-sex couples to marry which will ultimately be upheld by the
U.S. Supreme Court.

These are only two states you say. Here is the problem. Not only will
same-sex couples from other states start flooding into California to get
married making it the Las Vegas of same-sex marriage, but when these couples
decide to move to Ohio, Florida, Texas, or any other state, after being
LEGALLY married in California, they will demand their marriage be recognized
in the state they move to.  This has already been happening since same sex
marriage were legalized in Massachusetts 4 years ago.

Of course, most states won’t recognize theses same sex marriages.  There
already are numerous lawsuits in Federal Court demanding that other states
recognize a same sex marriage. Eventually, there will be Federal Judges who
will uphold these marriages, these suits will get appealed to the U.S.
Supreme Court, who will ultimately force other states to recognize same-sex
marriages.

Let me say right now, just like there is no law that can stop someone from
praying, just like there is no law that can make killing your baby
acceptable, there is NO LAW that can rewrite God’s definition of marriage
which is one man, one woman, for one lifetime! Marriage is a legal AND a
Holy Institution.

People ask me all the time, if we love each other and take vows before God
isn’t that enough? The answer is NO! You need to fulfill the legal
requirements, a license in the state you are getting married in, in addition
to taking your vows before each other and before God. These people of the
same sex that are now able to fulfill the legal requirement of marriage are
still NOT MARRIED in the eyes of God since while sinful man may recognize
their union, GOD WON’T!

As a side note, alcoholism, drug use, and suicide is many times higher in
the homosexual community than the heterosexual community. I will guarantee
you right now that as bad as the divorce rate is, it will be even HIGHER in
same-sex marriages. Also, now that same-sex couples will be legally married,
they will demand and receive the right to adopt children in all 50 states,
meaning there will now be children raised in this perverse environment never
knowing what a real family is supposed to be.

As sad as this day is in our nation’s history, it should not be surprising.
For those who have been reading the Daily Devotional I write each morning, I
have been telling you for years that this is no longer a Christian nation
and that we would be seeing events like this in our lifetime.  While we are
busy arguing about whether you should speak in tongues or not, states are
passing laws to allow people of the same sex to get married.

While we are busy arguing what translation of the Bible we should read, the
10-BILLION-DOLLAR a year porn business is growing. While we are busy arguing
about what Preacher Bob is doing down the street, 4,000 innocent babies
every day are being slaughtered. Satan is sitting back in his recliner with
a bowl of popcorn, a drink, and laughing at us while we are busy fighting
each other and allowing him to do whatever he wants!!!

IT IS TIME THE BODY OF CHRIST WAKES UP! We need to face the reality that we
are NOT the majority in this nation, but that with God on our side we will
always have the majority and start acting like it. Our calling is clear, to
share the hope and love of Jesus Christ with this lost and hurting world.
He, and He alone is the only answer there is. We have got to get back to the
basic calling we have from God, and that is to share the truth of His Word
and the hope we have in His Son with this world we live in.

I love you and care about you so much. In my lifetime I have seen prayer in
school made illegal, abortion made legal, and now marriage between people of
the same sex a reality. We are a very evil and rebellious nation and God’s
mercy must be endless to have not destroyed us for how we have turned our
back on Him and misappropriated His blessings. There is a faithful remnant
who loves the Lord and honors Him with their lives. I am sure that it is
only this remnant keeping us from receiving the judgment we are so deserved
of.

I will be praying for you today. Praying that you see this battle for what
it is, a battle for souls. Each one of us who knows the Lord has been called
to serve Him and must do our part to share His love with those we meet in
the course of our life each day. The good news is, Jesus is still Lord, and
in the end, HE WINS. He told us that we would have trials and tribulations,
but to be of good cheer, for HE has overcome this world.

Even though the State of California has redefined marriage, the fact is, God
’s definition of marriage is immutable; it will never change. It is ONE MAN,
ONE WOMAN, FOR ONE LIFETIME!
