Separation of Church and State

On November 13 an Alabama judge was forced to step down from the bench for "the acknowlegdgment of God [as] a vital part of the public and private fabric of our country" (Kyle Wingfield, Jackson Sun). Although some of his methods have been controversial even amongst Christians, his boldness to stand for God and sacrifice for His name is to be admired.



Today, November 17, The Massachusetts supreme court legalized gay marriages and since this has happened, all 50 states in the union will now be forced to recoginze those marriages as legal.



Civil liberties activists brought Judge Moore under fire for the display of the 10 Commandments stating they were a violation of the separation of church and state. So, does this mean that the church does not have to recognize gay marriage as legal? After all the church is separate...right?



The church (or states for that matter) should not be forced to recognize these "couples" as married couples because in a house that worships the One True God according to the Truth of scripture...this is not acceptable or recognized (under God's Supreme Authority) as a legal marriage. Therefore since "the church and state are to be kept separate" then the church should not be under obligation to recognize these marriages. The Scriptures are clear on this and those who try to alter it or make it say anything other than what it says will be held accountable. Marriage is for one man and one woman. God gave Eve to Adam and told them to be fruitful. He created them man and woman.....husband and wife.



This country's "justice" system has punished a man for acknowledging God as the fabric of our country. A few days later, the same "justice" system has legalized gay marriage in one state, forcing the rest of the country to recognize these marriages as legal...without a choice.



America....In God we Trust? One Nation Under God? Liberty and Justice for all? In this case... Liberty... for people who want no boundaries... Justice? For who? And where is God in all of this?



God has blessed America. There was a time when we recognized that. America has come to a place of complacency. No, in fact, America is getting down right rebellious...the Prodigal child. It appears we are beginning to think we don't need God or His blessing...in fact, we seem to think we did it all on our own. "Give us our inheritance and leave us alone" is our cry. I wonder...will God continue to bless America if we continue down this path of destruction? Or will He remove His hand from our country and let us see just how strong we can stand without Him? He is the foundation...the firm foundation. Take out the foundation and well, we saw what happened on 911.



I wonder if people realize the impact the Massachusetts ruling will have on civilization and the American family? This is a very sad day for America. It's not the end though...there is still hope. Christians, you can still have a voice. Don't be silent. Time is crucial! This is something that will change the family unit as we know it. Every believer must do their part! Don't wait for somebody else to do it. Each one of us is responsible and accountable to God for our actions.....and inactions. For more information go to www.nogaymarriage.com.



Pray for our Land. There is so much to pray for.



"If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14).
