We need people in office who have high moral and spiritual values. If we pray for wisdom and guidance and follow God's instructions for unconditional love and peace, we will begin to bring back America to its original standards and be the example.
In May, President Barack Obama changed his position to support same-sex marriage. In July, Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts became the first elected member of Congress to have a homosexual wedding with his male partner. In August, the National Democratic Party's platform committee endorsed gay marriage.
Do those of you who are in favor of same-sex marriage realize how strong the Bible is against gays and lesbians?
Leviticus 18:22 states: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
First Corinthians 6:9 states: "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind."
These are only two of the citations that show how strong the Bible underscores that a marriage is between husband and wife only.
If you want what is best for America, let's be strong in standing up against any person running for any political position or any person or organization that believes in, approves of, and/or promotes same-sex marriage.
How can we, as believers in the Bible, cast a vote for or support them anyway?
Pass this on to your children, your grandchildren, your friends, relatives and co-workers. What a change this would make in your life and theirs.
