I attend a very conservative reformed Baptist church, so it’s a given we do not stand for homosexual rights and gay marriage. Our pastor commented at the open of our service to say first that the ruling was what he expected. He said the storm clouds are really gathering and that God’s people should prepare themselves for what’s heading our way. He expects we will see awful things happen to this nation and in the world. He urged us to pray and stay grounded in the Word. He reminded us that our hope is in Christ, not in our nation or political leaders. As a congregation we are very involved in foreign missions, so he mentioned some of the specific dangers some of our friends around the world live with every day and said that we may soon face the same dangers. He also reminded us that our God is utterly sovereign and that He has already won the victory. Our duty is to be holy because He is holy.
Remarkably many other Pastors spoke along this line...though some added possible this jolt will raise up our Pastors ‘to lead’ a revival across our nation.
Staying grounded in God’s word is correct...because if things get rough out there our Pastor’s might just end up in jail if the Lord does Tarry....
