Civil-Disobedience is what cowards DO...
INSTEAD OF REVOLUTION..
If Civil Disobedience fails, nullification is next.
God ordained marriage between a man and a woman. Humans cannot change it into something else.
May God give us all the grace to stay true to Him and His Word.
[[There are those who will prefer the path of least resistance and will cite, out of context, various Scriptures in order to avoid the possible persecution that may come as a result of obedience to God.]]
Just saw a message- a powerful one, this morning about following God regardless of the consequences- whatever the cost- it was given by two brothers on the short lived ‘flip this property’ when they were canned by HGTV after GLADD began a campaign of hate and smear against the brothers for speaking out against gay marriage-
It’s a very powerful message- and well worth the watch:

The SCOTUS has chosen to follow Satan rather than God. This is big, because it speaks on behalf of the Federal Government, and it has just declared war on Christians.
As a Christian, this time is a time I have thought about most of my life. This is something that has been predicted for thousands of years.
Christians will be turned on in the final days before Christ returns again.
I know of no better indicator that there is a living God, than the fulfillment of prophecy.
Those who scoff at the existence of the God of the Universe will now do so in the face of persecution. They will do so ignoring that this time was written about thousands of years ago.
Folks, this is all happening very quickly.
Get yourselves right with God.
By doing what?
I would say that parents who pulled their children out of gov’t schools and homeschool is push back. That’s been going on for years, if not decades.
Quite frankly, it won’t happen. Those that might are either too old or too comfortable. Sure you’ll see isolated incidents, but the cancer is insidious. It is folly to believe there is any particular “target”. It’s everywhere.
Besides. This is what the Corporations want and it is, therefore, exactly what they will get.
Remember. Corporations are now people and people valued more highly than Americans.
So who does exactly what? I don’t mean conclusory, impossible statements (i.e. impeach the Supreme Court, etc), I mean a real practical “this is what we do and this is who does it.”
While this is nice on paper, it is all just whistling past the graveyard. Ain’t gonna happen.
The undesirables must be identified and removed. They stink and are a blot on our progressive society. But, let’s do it legally. Then in the name of law, we can mark them, shut down their businesses, force them out of work, pack them up and ship them off to the camps so we don’t have to see them, and where work will set them free.
They don’t exist. What happens to them in the camps is irrelevant; as long as our progressive brave new world does not have to see them or acknowledge their existence or non-existence.
How do you disobey a ruling that doesn’t require you to do anything?
[[our elected officials in Congress and the White House are the hired help.]]
And it is high time they be reminded of this- they have IGNORED this basic fact in an effort to lord it over us- Imagine being en employee in a business and you, the employee TAXING your boss, making laws that affect your boss financially- take away your boss’ rights- Well folks, that is exactly what is happening with our elected officials- THEY are the ones lording it over their BOSSES! US!-
Sadly we let them
The Sacrament of Marriage was established by God. I will resist twisting that to serve sexual degeneracy which God calls an abomination. However, make no mistake, GOD will rain down His vengeance upon the ungodly, and He is getting ready to call The Bride out, remove The Restrainer, and rain down His wrath upon the lawlessness.
Christians and Conservatives are too passive, too disorganized, and quite frankly, too p#ssified.
Just look at this very forum for a microcosm of the conservative movement. There are *GRAPHIC LANGUAGE* warnings over every little article or youtube video that even has just one mild swear word. A few months ago, a poster here warned about the word "crap."
Another example is the Catholic priest on Foxnews this past week. He was spat upon several times by vicious gay protesters. His reaction? He just smiled about it and had a few goody-goody silly posts on Twitter.
We won't defeat legions of crazed and vicious liberals with timidity and niceness.
So continue the prayer groups and bake sales, folks. It'll make you feel good, but you're still going to lose.
I posted this before in relationship to the Islamic prophet cartoon contest. Those who see themselves as Christians might want to reflect on what scripture says. In 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, the Apostle Paul states his method for sharing the gospel with the lost. I don’t see holding a cartoon contest in there to mock the Jews or one to mock the false gods of the Greeks. They didn’t go out and march in the streets with signs. What makes the difference is that his concern is for the gospel - that it might find a place in the heart and mind of a lost person. He identifies with them where he can - he does not compromise in essentials. He would never compromise his message or the Word of God. But he is not intentionally rude or out to provoke a fight. Will the majority of our culture listen or have a rational conversation with a Christian trying to convince them of the truth claims of Christ and the error of same sex marriage (or any other sin, like lust, gluttony, greed)? Some will, perhaps, but probably most won’t. But for the few that will and the few that might “watch how a true believer in Christ lives” we Christians should be the salt and light that the Bible calls us to be. Wise as serpents but harmless as doves. Yes, we are in a war, but the Bible states that we do not wage warfare the way the world does. Our weapons are spiritual. Witness Daniel and his 3 friends in the book that bears his name. They each had their faith tested. God delivered them. Isaiah was sawn in half and Steven was stoned for his witness (to the religious leaders of his community). The first church did not immediately hold a “draw a Pharisee or your favorite Sanhedrin member contest.” They fled Jerusalem. The prophetic scriptures state that in the end, the world will get increasingly evil and persecution of Jews and Christians will increase. The antichrist (whoever he turns out to be) will wage war against the saints and overcome them. That means he’ll kill the majority of them. Part of the problem is that the majority of people are so invested in their own personal lives that they do not care what is happening in our country until it effects them personally. How could over 50 million babies be aborted in the U.S.? Easy... most people don’t care because they are not the baby that’s being murdered. But they may be the people who made the baby. Doing the right thing or doing what’s convenient - that’s often the decision? Our president said he didn’t want to “punish” one or both of his daughters with a baby. We are at the point in this country that even if there was not one single Muslim that would cut off the head of a Christian or a Jew there are plenty of university professors, media personalities, Hollywood types and (I saved the best for last) politicians that would love to. The same is true for this issue of same sex marriage. That is what is in their heart. They might not want to do it themselves but they will be glad to hold the cloak of others that are doing the stoning (or head cutting, revoking private property rights, confiscating possessions - including children, denying business license, etc. etc.). Christians are to speak the truth in love and let the consequences be whatever will come. If we can fight legally we might want to do so but ultimately what happened to the Jews in Germany could happen here to Christians. I think we all know that. We are instructed not to throw our pearls before swine but we are to be ready to give an answer to those who ask us of the reason for the hope we have - with humility and love. Hard to show or demonstrate humility and love while you’re demanding your rights. It’s a bit tricky but this idea of St. Paul’s regarding the Gospel, should be our guiding principle. Our job is to hold up the standard and to be faithful unto death in this dispensation of grace. That dispensation that will end very soon as God Almighty turns his attention back to the nation of Israel and who will again show himself as the vengeful God of the Old Testament. It doesn’t mean that at some point we wouldn’t take up arms to defend or save our families from those that would harm us or that Christians are total pacifists. But as a general rule it is not our first line of defense. Many in the middle east are doing what the early Christians did. Coming here soon. Jesus told his followers that when you are persecuted in one place to flee to another - but continue to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom. Civil disobedience means many things to many people. The message of the cross and of the coming Kingdom of God should drive what we do. Repentance and turning to God’s solution for our sin problem is the only real answer. Outside of that option, we have no hope, nor does our nation. There are many things destroying our country and culture. The author of this article is most likely right in that the righteous in America are not going to turn the country around. But true Christians will not compromise the truth of scripture. We face whatever consequence there is to face for being more concerned about the glory of God than our own personal convenience and safety. The real war is against God, his holy character and those that love and (most importantly) obey him by those that hate him - and would kill him if they possessed the power to do so and happily enthrone themselves in his place. We are called to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. I think our enemies would love to see us protest and demand things and get all bent out of shape. They love anger and hate. Look what happened in Charleston. The Left was very upset that it didn’t turn into Baltimore. The harlot church will and have already compromised. They are finding their life in this world and will be among the first to attack the true church of Christ for their stand. We are encompassed about by enemies on every side. This should drive us closer to our Lord and Savior come what may.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ II Cor. 10:4&5
The cure for liberalism is identical to the cure for Islam.
It will noy be pretty, but is very very necessary.
Gear up.
God is judging America and he is using these wicked judges as his instrument. Apparently the churches have generally been lukewarm and some have notably capitulated and accommodated even before this decision came down.
The wheat and chaff will be separated and the the ways or the world and those of God will become more pronounced than ever. I believe that the Lord will give a little more time for people to leave the Laocedian churches to form their own home based “Acts” churches.
Poland did it. We can do it.

I’m seriously ticked at our minister after today’s sermon. I had steam coming out of our ears. He waved the white flag, basically.
