THIS WEEK MARKS a turning point in our national history. The
Supreme Court will hear arguments to answer the question “Does the constitution
guarantee Americans in all fifty states the right to same sex marriage?” It is
crucial that we turn to God in prayer and confession. We should confess our
national sins of materialism, godlessness, and idolatry, and we should lift holy
hands in prayer for the future of America, GCF, and our families (1 Tim 2:1-7).
Confession matters because Romans 1:18-27 informs us that the widespread
acceptance of homosexual behavior is God’s judgment. He is judging the idolatry
of self-worship, in other words, we love the “creature” more than the
“Creator.” This means that our national problems are spiritual. They are not
political. If the root problem is spiritual, the solution is also spiritual. It
is a national return to God through repentance and faith in the gospel.
Therefore, pray, pray, pray!
Since we are on this subject, here
is a gracious, winsome blog by Kevin DeYoung explaining why the legitimization
of homosexual marriage is bad for any culture. DeYoung defuses the fog of
confusion that currently surrounds this subject.
