America’s First Gay President:

Mr. President

President Barak Obama announced recently in an ABC News interview with Robin Roberts that he was in favor of “same sex marriage.” In the same interview he further stated that being in favor of the arrangement was the “right thing to do”. A Gallop poll taken in early May showed that by a 54-42 percent margin American adults consider gay and lesbian marriage relations “morally acceptable”.  What does this say about our 21st Century society? Twenty-five years ago such attitudes would have been laughed out of town. Jesus the Lord told His disciples if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town. (Matt. 10:14-15). The Apostle Paul lays out a proposition that is difficult to refute. Look at this Biblical pronouncement.

Romans 1:16-32 (NKJV) 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. This is Paul’s message to the Romans and to all of us.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,  The man Paul speaks from his heart what will happen to those who veer of the path of truth. They knew God, but they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. These actions on man’s part caused God to give them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error.  God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness;

• Genesis 18:20 (NLT) 20 So the LORD told Abraham, “I have heard a great outcry from Sodom and Gomorrah, because their sin is so flagrant.

• Genesis 19:24 (NKJV)  Then the LORD rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the LORD out of the heavens.

• Jude 1:7 (GW)  What happened to Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities near them is an example for us of the punishment of eternal fire. The people of these cities suffered the same fate that God's people and the angels did, because they committed sexual sins and engaged in homosexual activities.

Our society seems to be on the a slippery slope to destruction. The Romans passage clearly identifies the violators of God’s original plan for marriage, i.e. one man and one woman. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature, i.e. lesbianism.  Likewise the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error.

Friends, our lives cannot be governed by the polls. The Apostle Paul reminds us of men professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man. No matter what the consensus of the so-called enlightened might be  the final word is in the hands of the Almighty God, in whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. James 1:17 (NKJV) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. God’s plan is to bless and gift men & women with things that are good and perfect.  However,  if man strikes out based on his own misguided beliefs and forsakes the divine plan of God his fate is sealed by trusting in his own plan rather than in God’s. When men and women pursue their selfish desires and commit sexual sins and engaged in homosexual activities, no poll or politically correct belief will serve God’s righteous judgement.
