Franklin Graham: As you've heard
by now, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that same-sex marriage is legal in all
50 states. Even Texas moved immediately to start issuing same-sex marriage
licenses.
The good news, if there is any, is the Supreme Court did not define marriage, and therefore is not entitled to re-define it.
"Long before our government came into existence, marriage was created by the One who created man and woman—Almighty God—and His decisions are not subject to review or revision by any manmade court," Graham said.
"God is clear about the definition of marriage in His Holy Word: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh" (Gen. 2:24).
"I pray God will spare America from His judgment, though, by our actions as a nation, we give Him less and less reason to do so."
