GAY TRUTH

"Whether you're gay or whether you're straight, to follow Jesus will demand a taking up of your cross. When we start to throw out clear teachings of scripture about the lordship of Jesus over sexuality and what marriage is and what celibacy is and what singleness is--and we begin to change those to fit into culture thinking that we're gonna make the church relevant to the masses--what you actually do is make the church offensive to Jesus, the head of the church. Gay or straight, you can't do anything to earn your salvation. It's done. Jesus did it. Gay or straight, to follow Jesus means he will relentlessly pursue every bit of your soul because he loves you too much to let you have lesser gods. This obedience that we're talking about to Jesus, (here's the big idea), this obedience is actually not burdensome. It's actually a light yoke because He loves you. He said, 'My yoke is easy; my burden is light.' What does that mean? It means that

A small group of USA judges took it upon themselves to redefine historic marriage on behalf of millions of people. Whu gave them that right?  In light of these developments, many Christians are wondering if the struggle to preserve marriage is worth it.  “What’s the use?” they ask.  If you’re wondering why this battle is still important, here are five reasons why marriage still matters – and why it matters to you: 1. Marriage as defined by God has not changed.  Ideologies come and go.  Cultural customs can – and do – change.  Societies can decline and descend into depravity.  As U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia reminded us, “Societies can rot as well as ripen.”  But God’s Truth and God’s standard remain unchanged. 2. If same-sex “marriage” is now legalized, the religious freedom of your church and your pastor is threatened.  We have seen this in other countries that are further down the road to redefining marriage.  In Sweden, a pastor was convicted of a

Rachelle and Charles Black were married for nearly 20 years and have three sons. They raised their children in a conservative Christian church and sent them to private, Christian schools . In 2011, Rachelle told Charles that she is a lesbian. Rachelle Black abandoned her children, husband and home to pursue her lesbian lifestyle. She was banned from coming out as gay to her three sons has had the court ruling overturned. Rachelle Black came out as gay and filed for divorce from ex-husband Charles in 2011. Following her sexual lust for lesbianism , the mum-of-three abandoned her home, her children and Charles her husband. Charles is a Christian , and he gained primary custody of their children.  The trial court found that Charles was the more stable parent in part because he is better suited to maintain the children’s religious upbringing, which includes certain beliefs about same-sex relationships: Here, [Charles] is clearly the more stable parent in terms of the ability

Three Republican lawmakers have filed a bill seeking to outlaw same-sex marriage within North Carolina . House Bill 780, otherwise known as the “Uphold Historical Marriage Act," says the United States Supreme Court "overstepped its constitutional bounds" when it negated an amendment of North Carolina's constitution in its 2015 landmark Obergefell v. Hodges case that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. If passed, North Carolina's new bill would invalidate same-sex marriage, reportedly including marriages that have already been officiated — both in and out of the state — despite the Supreme Court's ruling. The bill's main sponsors are Reps . Larry Pittman , Michael Speciale , and Carl Ford , who in the filed bill cite a 61% affirmative vote for Article 14, Section 6 of the state's constitution that voided same-sex marriage and civil unions in 2012.

The United States ’ commitment to   religious liberty   is   being tested   and hostility toward traditional moral beliefs is on the rise, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito told a group of Catholic lawyers Wednesday night. Justice Alito repeated the words he had written in his own dissent in the   Obergefell case   legalizing homosexual “marriage,” telling the group that he suspected the decision would be used to “vilify those who disagree, and treat them as bigots.”  "We are seeing this is coming to pass," Alito said. He then referenced a famed Bob Dylan song lyric, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." "A wind is picking up that is hostile to those with traditional moral beliefs," Alito said.   He told the audience that while religious freedom has been recognized in Congress and in the courts, attitudes are not so quick to change. The Supreme Court Justice described how a Democratic lawmaker  oppose

Now that the moral revolutionaries are solidly in control, what is to be demanded of Christians who, on the basis of Christian conviction, cannot join the revolution? The demands have now been presented, and they represent unconditional surrender. In a stunningly candid essay from May 2016, Harvard Law School professor Mark Tushnet declared a total liberal victory and chastised his fellow liberals for what he called a “defensive crouch liberal constitutionalism ” that is now outdated. With liberals firmly in control of almost every power base in the culture—most importantly, the federal courts—there is no reason for liberals to play defense, he asserts. Tushnet argued that liberal judges are now in the majority, and he expected that the Supreme Court , given the death of Justice Antonin Scalia , would be unlikely to reverse any liberal decisions handed down by lower courts. Federal judges, Tushnet argued, “no longer have to be worried about reversal by the Supreme Court if the

Same-sex marriage proponents say "marriage has evolved over time," but not in any way to support the changes taking place now. One of the most common reasons given in favor of supporting same-sex marriage is the claim that marriage has evolved over time.  In his majority ruling for the 2015 Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges , Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote: The history of marriage is one of both continuity and change. That institution — even as confined to opposite-sex relations — has evolved over time. He argues that expanding marriage to include same-sex couples is the next logical evolutionary step. In support of this claim, Kennedy cites how marriage was once viewed as an arrangement and then became a voluntary contract between a man and a woman. And he also notes that the state used to legally consider marriage a male-dominated institution. As a result, he concludes: These and other developments in the institution of marriage over the past centuries we

This study attempts to say that state homosexual marriage policies bring a reduction in adolescent suicide attempt. But when you look closer at the study you this is not exactly the case and that 1 in 5 still are attempting suicide for other reasons - perhaps it is the lifestyle of homosexuality itself, which studies like this and other simply ignore.  This study says simply - I want to choose a homosexual lifestyle, my family and friends reject me - I feel suicidal - if only homosexual marriage was legal I would not feel this way.  Therefore if it becomes legal - friends and family should accept me and i will feel better. But the lifestyle of the homosexual is not examined and never will be because that is off the table. Why?  The study did not identify suicide intervention studies that addressed the substantially elevated risk of suicide attempts among adolescents who identified as sexual minorities .   It appears that homosexual marriage policies may reduce suicide

U.S. Supreme Court, 1998. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The U.S. Supreme Court announced that it will take on the issue of transgender bathrooms being forced upon the nation's schoolchildren. The country's highest court will hear an appeal next year from the Gloucester County School Board in Virginia on Caitlyn Hope Grimm's lawsuit to use the boys’ showers, toilets, and locker rooms at school. "This is the first time that the Court will be addressing the question of whether laws protecting against sex discrimination in education are applicable to ' gender identity ,'” Liberty Counsel   noted . Caitlyn, a 17-year-old suffering from gender dysphoria, began to self-identify as a boy in 2014. She has not undergone sex "change" surgery, but she has legally changed her name to "Gavin" and begun taking hormones to give her a deeper voice. When Caitlyn began using the boys' restroom at school, some parents voiced their concern. The
