The bottom line is that our beloved country is ever increasingly abandoning many of the first principles of our founding. Ideals like Honor, Virtue, Goodness, Integrity, Morality based on Christ, and many others are slowly fading away or either being re-defined to the current age. Orwellian "newspeak" has arrived, or so it seems...what was understood and true "yesterday" now has a new definition today.

Gay marriage is here to stay. Slowly it will reach more and more states and eventually it will reach the federal level with full reach. And folks, that is THE priority goal for the progressive gay rights groups and numerous powerful democrat leaders and power broker citizens. When LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgendered, questioning) becomes a "protected class" of people (like gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age) then the wheels of this country will start to fall off at an alarming rate. We already have had progressive sex education in our schools for a while that promotes LGBTQ agendas. We see it more subtly in movies and TV shows. Little by little, inch by inch, the homosexual and other lifestyles are being pushed to be accommodated, then tolerated, then accepted, then implemented.

I don't see enough resistance to stop it...so I fully expect within the next 5-10 years LGBT will be a protected class and gay marriage will be in every state. As a protected class, then businesses are subject to discrimination litigation or coercion, schools will change even more, and our houses of worship may also be in the cross hairs even more.

The institution of marriage and family is a pillar of this nation. By design. Screwing that up screws up communities, cities, states and our nation over time. This is why many of us care and speak out against gay marriage. It is not that we hate gay people. Some might, but a person following Christ should not.

There is zero excuse for the Christian body to not love the person who happens to be LGBT. We are called to love, but to also present the truth of the Gospel. We are also called to stand firm against the lies, distortions, evil, schemes (agendas) and immorality that have Satan as the author. How do you love and stand firm at the same time????

Well you have to be honest with yourself. We all fall short and sin. We all have our struggles and temptations and sin nature where we do not follow God as we should. So why would or should we hate on someone else when we ourselves have issues? We shouldn't, less we are hypocrites. Does this mean we should accept, condone or ignore the sin or behavior or agenda...absolutely not. We are to always be truthful and direct, but in love. Stand firm, but in love. Tell the truth, in love. Disagree, but in love. Share the Gospel, in love. Fight the good fight, with love.

Don't be deceived. There is an agenda driving this train. That is were we should fight and rebuke in the Lord's name, because this is the spiritual war/battle being waged. Sit back and take it? Or fight the good fight?

Gay Marriage---No harm, no foul? Only if you are blind or deceived.
