When our civil liberties and religious rights are overstepped and our convictions mean nothing to the world, we will pay a dear price even our lives.
This day will come. If you think 70ad was bad,,,, just hold on.
Sad to say, because I hate it!
This is the kind of thing we mock because we neglect to see the relevance of it. We associate civil liberties with the Sodomites and think because the democrats support them they are irrelevant.
But I tell you, We will see the day when churches and pastors are tried in court and imprisoned for refusing to marry them. It is already against the law to preach against homosexuality in Canada. It too will be here soon. I hate it!
I heard a great Elder among us recently say at a Conference "Same sex marriage is upon us, it is here, we aren't fighting it anymore, it's here.... We are near the end."
This reminds me of the stories L.E. Westberg told of the men who stood on conviction in his church. They were court marshaled and sent to the brig or given a dishonorable discharge from the military. All for refusing to wear a short sleeve uniform.
Or the story about Phil White's son, who when working at a fast food restaurant refused to wear a short sleeve uniform. So they instituted the companies first long sleeve shirt just because he stood on conviction.
Kim Davis is a Apostolic sister who goes to a UPC church in that state, and I thank God for her stand. She said she has prayed and fasted about her decision not to give marriage licenses to same sex couples. She said she has a conviction against it. I will continue to pray for the will of God.
