All legal battles aside, I find the saddest reality at work here is the perceived sense of freedom being preached alongside of same-sex marriages. I watched on television as newly"wed" "couples" celebrated, hugged, rejoiced with their family members and adopted children, held up celebratory signs, and shared with the media the "liberty and freedom" they felt. If only people knew how far from free they really were. It is my opinion that the lowest form of human existence is to live our lives the way God never intended. To see people celebrating the relativistic un-truth of freedom in a relationship God never intended us to have is absolutely heartbreaking. This is true separation from God. This is the big lie. A lie not only told via the homosexual agenda, but through the humanist agenda, the feminist agenda, and many others. The lie perpetuated is this "false freedom" people believe they have when they can do whatever they want to do, say what they want to say, live how they want to live, doing whatever comes naturally, completely unencumbered by any laws (but in fact, set free by those laws), and certainly not hindered by any religion, let alone a God whose only goal is to make our lives miserable on the Earth right? It is this thought exactly that is holding many captive in bondage as we speak.

This is not an attack on a law, it's an attack on a covenant. God's covenant. God's foundational covenant. The laws may be the means right now, but it is certainly bigger than that. Any Christian with any sort of prophetic insight could see this coming a mile away. Forget prophetic insight. How about common sense? It's been a slow and steady progression, but even television doesn't look the way it did 10 years ago. So a statement like, ""We have the ability to foster tolerance through new insights...." addressed to a crowd of the most influential actors in Hollywood shouldn't be taken lightly. Television and film can account for much of the softening of many of our hearts towards the issues God himself speaks strong words. I've even found myself questioning many issues. I've thought perhaps it is okay for men and men to join in marriage. I myself admit, my shock factor is pretty high these days. Nothing suprises me. Even worse, not much disgusts me anymore. How I long to get back to the day when my stomach churns at the very thought of much of what the world has stamped its approval. That churning is for a reason. I don't believe it's for us to sit back in a seat of judgement, but as 1 Peter says, to use our gifts to administer God's grace to others accordingly. In politics, in relationships, in whatever our sphere of influence may be. Preach the truth in love that others may find True Freedom, which can only be found in Christ.
