Cry Out For The Family

President Obama has signed a decree to make June Gay,Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Day. He has also made it abundantly clear that he is going to do all that he can to encourage legislation for same sex marriage. These two issues coupled with the president's strong stance in favor of abortion should cause the Christian community to cry out in anger. Instead, the Christian community remains mostly silent. Many Christians don't want to get involved in politics. Others believe we should just try to get along. Still others have deluded themselves into believing that these documents the president is signing are merely providing equal rights for different people groups.
The issue before us is not equal rights nor is it merely politics. The issue we are faced with is an outright assault on the family. We must never forget that marriage is not an institution designed by man, but rather one designed by God in the beginning. God ordained marriage as being between one man and one woman for ever. When we deviate from that pattern we are aligning ourselves against a Holy God. Likewise, when we as a nation begin taking pride in sin (homosexuality) we become an affront to God and again align ourselves against Him. Sin, whether its homosexuality, gossip, lust, etc. is nothing to take pride in. When our nation declares a Gay,Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Day we are thumbing our nose at God.
Make no mistake about it, our family unit is in dire stratis. Our nation's abortion policy legalizes murder and brings to a sudden end, the new life that our God has created. Its time for Christians to cry out for the family. Let you voice be heard. Our future depends upon it.
