Gay Marriage Isn’t The Problem, It’s A Symptom

This week will mark the end of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell for the military.  A few months ago, New York State became the largest state to accept homosexual partners in “marriage”.  Many people may say “So what?  How does it affect you?” Truth be told, the immediate effects of these rulings will not be see, [...]

Polygamy and Same Sex Marriage

Kody Brown has 4 wives—well, technically, his legal wife is the one hiding behind his back, the rest are “sister wives”.  They, and their sixteen children, appear on “Sister Wives” on TLC.  Why is this interesting?  Because they are attacking Utah’s anti-polygamy laws based on the fact that they should be able to define “family” [...]

Gay Marriage and Newsweek

An older version of Newsweek Magazine tries to reconcile Gay Marriage with the Bible, and Albert Mohler is there with some great observations, but it’s his conclusion that we need to pay attention to:

US Supreme Court on Religion and Marriage

We live in a very interesting time—a time when the very moral foundation of this country is being challenged.  The general American feeling of “live and let live” has come directly up against a culture and morality that would have been foreign to the founders—and those very founders are being trotted out as accepting and [...]

You Must Promote My Lifestyle

Constance McMillen is a homosexual.  She is also a senior in a public high school in Mississippi, and as such she was looking forward to her senior prom.  She wanted to bring a date, and because of her lifestyle, she wanted to bring another young lady and she wanted to wear a tuxedo instead of [...]

What’s the Big Deal Over a Name?

On Tuesday, more was on the ballot than just a couple of Congressman and Governors, two states were wrestling with the idea of marriage and the rights that the states have conferred upon people that enter into such unions. The voters of Maine voted to prohibit the legislature and Governor from permitting same-sex marriage in [...]

Another Activist Judge

A judge in Dallas ruled on Thursday that the Texas’ ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional1—which is quite absurd when you think about it. Judge: Texas Ban on Gay Marriage Unconstitutional – NBC [↩]

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell

It was a policy put into place by President Bill Clinton in an entirely different climate for the homosexual movement.  In order to both cater to these supports but still ally the fears and concerns of the armed forces, a deal was struck that officers would not be asked their orientation and were instructed not [...]

What Is Expedient

There’s a verse in the New Testament where Paul makes a statement about Christian liberty.  He says that while all things may be lawful for him, only some things are expedient—some things work toward the ends of building up the saints in Christ. Sen. Obama is saying things on different topics because of their political [...]

Same-Sex Marriage and the Freedom of Religion

One of the big comments that’s thrown at anyone that opposes Same-Sex Marriage is the idea that it would not effect Traditional Marriage at all—or that it only adds to marriage, but does not take anything away from it.  The idea is that, if it causes no harm to you personally in your marriage, then [...]

Why Support Traditional Marriage?

On Friday, the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled 4 to 3 in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage in their state, overruling a state ban on the activity. While I could wax eloquent on how amazing it is to find this right in a document that has been translated only one way since the time it was [...]

Is Homosexuality That Big of a Sin?

From the way that this issue is painted, Homosexuality is the worst sin to befall mankind.  I made the argument in a discussion of the McDonald’s boycott that there are many sins that God hates, and that we should make sure that we major on what God considers sin.  So, what about this sin? Let’s [...]

Holiness, Love, and McDonalds

Perry over at Life In a Shoe has addressed my post on the McDonald’s boycott, so I thought that it would be only fitting to address some of his concerns in a related post1. I think many of the difference between the two of us remains a difference of definitions.  Because of my background I’m [...]

California, New York, and Same Sex Marriage

The past few weeks has seen a flurry of activity in the area of same-sex marriage.  Specifically, the Supreme Court of California ruled that same-sex couples should have equal protection rights under the California Constitution to marry, and have instructed the state to do so starting in the middle of June.

An Omen of Things to Come

I’ve always wondered how Sodom and Gomorrah could possibly have gotten as bad as they did.  Perhaps it’s because of the culture that I’ve been raised in, I cannot personally fathom the whole episode with the angels coming to Lot, the homosexual men outside wanting them to come out so they could sexually assault them, [...]
