We sure do live in interesting times. Unfortunately.
I would prefer them to be less “interesting”.
The inmates are running the asylum and seem Hell-bent, literally, on driving this bus off a cliff. (pardon the mixed metaphors).
It would be instructive, I believe, to look at what led up to this, and, I believe, we can’t validly point all blaming fingers at “liberals” and “perverts.”
America itself has become more and more lax about the sacredness of marriage and all that implies. When the foundations are destroyed, says the Good Book, what can the righteous do?
This is like the rash of a fever. But we were wallowing in the germs long before that.
And may I add, that marriage on earth (which will not bind upon souls in heaven) is but a picture of how God and now-sinful humanity yet unite in a spiritual embrace by means of the grace of God.
So called “gay” is a picture of an ultimately vain spiritual do-it-yourself job on the part of humanity.
If we but lifted the situation up to the facial appearance of human standards of yesteryear, we would have done far too little. We need to lift it up in prayer in the hope of a miraculous restoration in God, to those who are willing. Many may not be willing, and not even God may force them against their wills. Freedom is dangerous in an era of increased sin; but it is the only thing that makes attempts to righteousness mean anything in the end. A righteousness undertaken for one’s own self interest isn’t even righteousness any more. It’s a game we try to play upon God.
