These were the headlines a year ago, May 23, 2015, on the respective websites. It’s almost like we, the world, were backing the Irish soccer team playing against the Mars Rockets for the New World Order Cup. All that is missing is the ticker-tape parade down O'Connell Street, in downtown Dublin, Ireland. And I’m not so certain there wasn’t one.
Welcome to the 21st Century were presidents promote class envy; presidential candidates practice unfettered prevarication; entertainers are heralded as enlightened savants by their drooling/mindless groupies and the media; the push to legalize the use of marijuana (because we don’t already have substance abuse in our country, plus everyone else is doing it!); and the sanctioning of sodomy thinly disguised as equality. Sure, everybody wants equality. But this is an attempt to radically change a human institution, that has been around since Adam (no pun intended) – the family. A man and a woman enter into a familial relationship, their love brings forth children. It couldn’t be any more logical or simpler than the way God instituted marriage. He never provided an exception clause for ‘committed relationships.’ And He never condoned the depravity of Sodom and Gomorrah – He rained fire and brimstone down upon them and destroyed them, Genesis 19:1-29.
I pray that this does not happen to our country!
