Today’s blog is on a controversial topic. This article is from a secular site and calls the Suppreme Court’s decision a “good thing,” but in the Word of God, by no means was this a win for the Kingdom of God. Rather, it was a loss for the Kingdom of Light but a win for the kingdom of darkness. Franklin Grahm said it best on Facebook when he posted the following article:
his Today the U.S. Supreme Court enacted a new law that adds sexual orientation and gender identity to the 1964 Civil Rights Act as “protected classes.’ As Justice Alito has pointed out, the majority went too far—he called it a “brazen abuse of authority.” The Supreme Court exists to interpret the law, not to make new laws—making laws is the job of our Representatives in Congress, elected by the people.
I believe this decision erodes religious freedoms across this country. People of sincere faith who stand on God’s Word as their foundation for life should never be forced by government to compromise their religious beliefs. Christian organizations should never be forced to hire people who do not align with their biblical beliefs and should not be prevented from terminating a person whose lifestyle and beliefs undermine the ministry’s purpose and goals.
As a Bible-believing follower of Jesus Christ, my rights should be protected. Even if my sincerely held religious beliefs might be the minority, I still have a right to hold them. The same holds true for a Christian organization. These are the freedoms our nation was founded on.
The Supreme Court does not override and will never overturn the Word of God. One day we will all have to stand before God, the Righteous Judge, whose decisions are not based on politics or the whims of culture. His laws are true and are the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
I am calling you to prayer, fasting if necessary, and action. We must not keep silent any longer. It might for some of you even be a time of civil disobedience. It is a time for us to decide: Is the law I’m following going to compromise my convictions or will it protect them and allow me to obey my Lord and Savior while at the same time obeying the law of the land? Pertaining to this law, we must say with Peter, “With all due respect to your authority, it is better that we obey God and offend you than offend God and obey you.” Of course, I’m paraphrazing but you get the point. So, without further adue, I’m going to post the article below. Feel free to tell me your thoughts on the subject.
