9. HOLY INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE UNDER ATTACK BE A STANDARD-BEARER
While we still have freedom of speech in this land, we should exercise our freedom to speak out against the evils that seek to destroy all the righteous goodness that has made this country the great nation that it is--or should we say, has been.
Marriage is a foundation stone, ordained of God, from which springs all the families that make the nation what it is--either good or bad. The sanctity of marriage has been, and continues to be, under enormous attack from the enemy.
We read in Scripture that marriage symbolizes the spiritual relationship that Christ, our heavenly Bridegroom has with His bride, the true church that is meant to be always seeking to please her ever-loving Husband. That is why we as the bride of Christ should steadfastly resist all efforts to pervert the marriage act and the ordinance of holy matrimony that God has blessed, not only within the church, but also outside of it.
The well-being of our nation is dependent on our allegiance to uphold the truth and our resistance to all that is false.
Men, we need to pray about the government taking control of the Internet. There is talk of them passing a bill, "Net Equality," but as usual, no one knows anything about it. Sound familiar? They will surely try to stop all opposition against gay marriage, etc. The Internet is a major bastion of our freedom of speech and we do not need the government taking control.
Pray, stand up, and speak out. Call your representative and be a voice.
Isaiah 59:19 says: "When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him." The standard needs standard-bearers. This means you and me.
Be encouraged.
