It is ironic to me that these are all popping up the week before Easter. I think the Devil is using this to distract all of us from the importance of what is to come on Sunday. This is a time that we should be preparing our hearts for the greatest sacrifice of all-Jesus.
"Fix your eyes on the Crucified and nothing else will be of much importance to you."
It breaks my heart that Christians are putting these equal signs up supporting equal marriage for all. The Word does not agree with this. Yes, we are told to love one another but I think it is important to know that LOVE isn't ACCEPTANCE. Homosexuality is a sin just like any other sin. We should not support this kind of marriage just like we shouldn't support someone lying all the time. Christians need to point them to the Cross just as we should point ANYONE to the Cross where we can lay our sin and ask for forgiveness. I have been doing a study on the Covenant this semester. The Old Testament is filled with promises that God made with man. God takes these promises very seriously and intends for us to take them seriously, as well. One covenant that is seen as very important is the Marriage covenant. This covenant is between man, woman, and God.
"For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall stick like glue to his wife (forcibly intimating that nothing but death should be allowed to separate them) and they shall (become one flesh as they) enter into a covenant relationship." Genesis 2:24 paraphrased.
I am not the best with words or getting my point across, but I felt as though I needed to say something. Every time I log onto Facebook, my heart hurts. We need to know the Truth and we need to share the Truth. Jesus does love us all, but we have to be willing to die to ourselves by continually running towards the Cross. We are all going to mess up. I will sin multiple times today-that's why I need Jesus. I need his forgiveness BUT I also have to have a repentant heart. I have to want to stop my sin & be broken when I do sin.
