Truth....What IS Truth???

On Monday, 31 January, Governor Pat Quinn will sign the Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act, at the historic Chicago Cultural Center downtown. In doing so, Illinois becomes the 26th state to recognize "civil union", aka queer marriage, in everything but name. This comes not to far behind the federal governments outlandish decision to allow open homosexuality in our armed forces.

What we are witnessing is the descent into the abyss. America, at this point, still the greatest nation on the earth, is following in the footsteps of other great nations/empires. History shows that when these entities become morally corrupt, destruction and downfall soon follow. We become like the Church in Ephesus, forgetting our love for Christ and falling from a great height. Now this runs counter to the prevailing paradigm that this is a matter of civil rights for homosexuals and lesbians. No, I state emphatically that this is about elevating what Scripture calls sin, and putting it at the same level of acceptability of that which God did, and called good. Now I do not want to say that homosexuality is the only sin out there, but it is the only one that is getting special recognition and privileges.

This bill which the Governor will sign pays lip service to the notions of religious freedom and exemption. But when push comes to shove, Biblical convictions will be said to be discriminatory, and therefore, to be thrown aside. Sound crazy? Blogger Peter Jones, over at TruthXchange, breaks down the abandonment of Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT), and the detrimental effects that it will have on our military, and the fact that those with religious conviction will be suppressed from sharing them!!! These are the men and women fighting for our country, but now, because they believe in calling sin, sin, they will be the ones discriminated against. Need further proof, check out this post to see that the Judeo-Christian norm is becoming an endangered species.

Alas, this is what we are to expect. Truth is still Truth, even when it is unpopular. We who see through the unbroken lens must remain faithful, always cognizant that we are image bearers of Jesus Christ. Amen!
