I agree. The compromisers are writing their own obituary. Those that persevere will grow even stronger.

A basic problem for the homosexual salient - and for those who are making use of them - is that they are governed by their most extreme quintile. There is nothing to keep them in check. As we have seen in the current manufactured crisis, they will be pushed way too far. In this information age, with cameras everywhere and saturation media delivered through countless bandwidth spigots, the truth can get its boots on a lot faster than it used to.

I have to disagree. We are told this was to happen and it is. We are told it will get much worse and I truly believe it will.

Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

The culture wars will be adjudicated in the courts. The politically incorrect will lose their cases in increasing numbers in front of agenda-driven judges. The price will be high, resulting in prison and even blood. See Russia 1935.

This will not mean the end of faithful churches or faithful followers of Christ. They just won’t look like they do today. And the evil is just a passing storm.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Agree! This should also thin the Republican posers trying for the Presidency. Their actions and statements will be informative.

I am not a religious person, but the teachings of my upbringing were that “marriage” was a sacrament in the church. The Bill of Rights specifically prohibits Congressional establishment of religion. To define what is a sacrament in the church is to establish religion. Congress only has the power to declare a civil union.

It is up to the churches, synagogues, etc to define marriage in religious terms. There is one, a Presbyterian denomination, that includes gay unions in marriage.

I don't know about you, but I can see that the Regime is already availing itself of every possible avenue of power in forcing its will on American citizens. It abuses the law and the legal system, dictates the mass media, and is quite effective at bullying in the marketplace.

The only thing it hasn't done is pointed guns in our faces, but we all know it is well equipped to do that have seen precedence of it.

You make a good point. In fact civil law has always been an application — necessarily secularized — of religious teachings. That IS the nature of the battle we’re in which nobody really wants to name. That IS the reason that to hate Christianity is to hate America as it was founded.

Because too many government officials are now hostile to how God defines marriage, government is being used to force me to recognize and even enable “marriage” that God tells me is morally repulsive. Just as we have a separation of church and state, we must now have a separation of marriage and state. When marriage is a private matter, then anyone can enter into any manner of relationship they please, but they cannot use government to impose their definition on others.

Very well said.....and true!

PCA Presbyterian broke away from the ever increasing liberal USA Presbyterian (mainline) almost 40 years ago .

PCA ( Presbyterian Church in America) is thriving!
We are prolife, pro family, scripture honoring, and involved.

USA Presbyterian has become an abomination and apostate!

They will have to do something about that.

The homo nazis and their enablers in government and big industry are pushing hard. These groups attack economically by withholding dollars. While their team won’t ever be able to sustain Walmart, our team won’t push back against the likes of Walmart by depriving them of our dollars. As long as our team won’t gut-punch back with as much force as we receive, the advancing forces of the homo nazis will be unrelentingly successful.
