2008

A New Year begins.

With that beginning is a host of promise and opportunity.

Then, there is also the inevitable beginning of things best left undone. I cannot help but think that the rush to be accepting of sin as a lifestyle choice is just plain wrong. To encourage by inference and certainly to allow by law the joining of people into marriages who were never meant to be married is just evil.

Marriage is meant to be and ordained by God to be a union of one man and one woman. With the noteable exception of times when God allowed men who were righteous to marry more than one woman to procreate a righteous progeny unto Him, the definition of marriage is one man and one woman united in a solemn ceremony and oath before God.

But now, the politically correct fear reprisals if they stand and say 'that's wrong'.

I don't fear them.

I fear and reverence God.

When can we look forward to a shared presence with Him who created all that we have and are and the joy in the presence of His Son, Jesus Christ, when we have abused their laws?

I firmly refuse to believe that we will be granted any special dispensation to sin just because we aren't hurting anyone's feelings in the short term.

Instead, we will be hurting the feelings of those very people long term to allow by inference and law the very conduct that will hurt them for all eternity.

We can't force the human mind. But likewise we cannot allow that politically correct trap to push our actions into the path of blind stupidity for the sake of popularity.

May this new year offer us the opportunity to be brave enough to say "NO" and be willing to mean it for the long term.
