Here is what I know: God is bigger than my sin. And God is sovereign over Supreme Court decisions and shifting worldviews. He has had the first and he will have the last word on all matters of sin and grace. The Church, Christs bride, is a God-made institution and will sustain herself in majesty in times of persecution or revival. Context matters not. Providence will paint the walls of this worldview. Ping for later reading. Thanks for posting, Gamecock!

Good post. God’s transcendent sovereignty, the real underpinnings of the Reformation, come through loud and clear. He is doing a work in our time, just as He always has, rescuing whom He will. Thanks, brother.

Homosexuality is a sin, but so is homophobia. Homophobia is irrational fear of a whole people group, failing to see in that group Gods image diminished but not extinguished by sin, and that Gods elect people linger there, snared by their own design and awaiting gospel grace Who has an irrational fear? Is it rational to want the group stopped? They seem to be getting larger, gathering more power and becoming more hateful to Bible believers. Sounds to me like she is still hanging on to some old defense patterns or thought processes.
The words hate and racism have been giving new meanings that apply only to white people and or Bible believers. I refuse to adopt them.
