The controversial topic of same sex marriage is once again in the news, and California is at the epicenter of the dispute. Only eight years removed from an overwhelming decision by residents to prevent California from recognizing same sex marriage (Proposition 22), four liberal judges in the state's supreme court ruled in favor of homosexual marriage. Within the next 30 days, homosexual couples will flock to courthouses across the state to apply for and receive marriage licenses. 

Setting aside what this new law portends about the moral decay of our country, the defilement of marriage in general, and the manifest depravity of mankind, I want to point out something that seems to be overlooked by so many in the media. At a time when Ellen DeGeneres and countless other practicing homosexuals are lauding this unconstitutional and morally bankrupt decision, few people are asking how can four individuals usurp the will of the people of California? How does a so called arbiter of justice dispense his depraved machinations on the people of California and be allowed to get away with it? The people of California have already spoken to this issue and have overwhelming rejected homosexual marriage. Nevertheless, four rouges in robes have taken it upon themselves and have seen fit to disregard the will of the people and have imposed their licentious desires on the people of America. They have spit upon God's law and have trampled the constitution under foot, while justifying their nefarious decision. Truly, this decision brings to mind the words of the Apostle Paul to the Churches at Rome when he penned, "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient." (Rom 1:28).

The chief concern all Christians should share is the way by which homosexuality is being accepted and flaunted. Society tells us it is normal for people to behave in such a manner, and anyone who opposes this "alternative lifestyle" is bigoted or narrow-minded. If people continue to believe there is some constitutional right for homosexual marriage and continue to draw moral equivalences of gay rights with the black rights movement of the 1960's, then before we know it, there will be overwhelming support for homosexuality and countless laws against the protest thereof and to speak out against it will be seen as hate speech or a hate crime. 

I cannot but help to recall how Hitler slowly imposed his wicked ideas on the people of Germany. He did not first come out and build his concentration camps, but rather, appointed judges of like mind, those who harbored the same anti-Jewish bigotry he did. Once he had them in place, they ruled in favor of suppressing Jewish freedom and liberty -- justifying their deprivations by claiming they had a constitutional right to do so. And it was by degree that he usurped the rights and liberties of the Jewish people until they were seen as subhuman vermin. We are in an analogous situation with the homosexual movement. There is a small, but growing militant population that is waging a propaganda war in America. We are told there is nothing wrong with their lifestyle; we are told their behavior is normal, and that they have a constitutional right to act according to the desires of their flesh. But once the majority has bought into this rubbish, it will only be a matter of time until the Christian will be forbidden to decry openly this anti-biblical lifestyle. Don't be surprised when you one day wake up and realize that it is the Christian who has to fear speaking the truth...in some ways, it does seem as if we are a nation already under judgment from God, and this is just one more step in our slouching towards Gomorrah.
