Group asks court to overturn ban

SAN DIEGO – More than two dozen San Diego clergy members have joined hundreds of colleagues around the state in support of one the most divisive issues in society today: same-sex marriage. (To read the rest of the article, click here.)
This article goes on to quote "clergy" (I don't really like that title, never have and I don't really even like the idea of ordination...ask me about that if you'd like...) from churches like the First Unitarian Universalist Church and those split-down-the-middle Episcopalians who support gay marriage. I'd like to set the record straight that these "clergy" in no way represent the rest of the pastors and ministers here in San Diego.
I got this email this morning:
"Pastor Willie Manley called yesterday afternoon to extend an invitation for you to attend a meeting this afternoon. The meeting is at 1 PM at the Pilgrim Progressive Baptist Church on A Street. It has been organized by the African American pastors throughout the San Diego area. They want to get together and decide how to respond to the Mayor's and council's stand on gay marriage."
I wish I could've attended that meeting. I'm guessing that the media won't be covering this meeting, but hopefully will if that group calls a press conference. I know that group of pastors who met this afternoon truly represent the pastors of San Diego as well as the bulk of San Diegans.
As always, I'm amazed at how a small group like the homosexuals can do such a good job of getting press coverage and somehow corral those on the fence to their side of the issue.
At this point I'm praying for our Governor that he will stick to the will of the people and not let the overturning of Prop 22 pass.

We are now in a time where we are taught to be accepting of everyone and almost every idea.
While it is obvious that as Christians that we must love all and serve all, we cannot just accept legalized sin.
Jesus said that He was coming to bring a sword. Brother against brother, Father against son. Meaning that in the last days, Jesus is going to seperate the righteous from the unrighteous. All are accountable.
If Christ wants such a seperation of righteousness and sin, shouldn't we want the same in our lives? I'm not saying that we take up a sword and act violently. But we cannot just allow this act pervert our city.
I sincerely believe God blesses places that honor Him. Our country was founded on Bible believing people (some of them, anyway).
How can we expect God to bless and protect our city when such lawlessness is prevalent? God is not going to go out of His way to protect a city that rejects Him. As Christians, we need to earnestly pray for our city.
Couldn't have said it better myself, thanks Neil!
I do worry about our city when the city council is willing to invite this sin and make it legal.
We know from reading the Bible that it's not a good thing to mess with God. I was just reading in my Bible this morning from Isaiah 10-11. Chapter 10, verse 23 says, "The Lord Almighty will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land."
I will never put it past God to carry out destruction on any land he chooses to if we willingly disobey him.
