    Also, years ago I felt led to never marry a couple who comes to me with a " marriage license". God created man and woman and he established marriage as a holy union of the man and his wife. The government has sought to control and define marriage and by doing so they have usurped authority that is God's alone. The government has no more authority to control or sanction marriage than they have to control or sanction baptism, the Lord's supper, ordination or any other function of the Church.

    Salvation is of the Lord and marriage is too.
    So grateful for pastors like you.


    THE END ISN'T NEAR.........IT'S HERE

    The problem is not global warming – it is moral cooling.

    The unfolding tragedy of the American Republic is driven by the fact that the forces presently in control of America’s political life have abandoned respect for the authority of God, and the concept of justice predicated upon it. They have therefore abandoned the substantive aim of the republican form of government the Constitution requires. In the name of a “democracy” the Constitution never mentions, these forces are systematically corrupting the American people. They elaborate an alluring prospect of unlimited personal power, self-willed and self-contained. But once that form of “democratic” power has, in practice, replaced the republican institutions the U.S. Constitution ordains and establishes, those enticed by it will discover that their sovereignty has disappeared.
    Too late, they will see that it has been replaced by the age-old form of oligarchic tyranny the U.S. Constitution was supposed to overturn. They will realize that there is no longer a republican party in the United States, or even a sincerely democratic party. Instead, there is one oligarchic clique, which temporarily encouraged the excesses of licentious democracy in order, at its end, to reassert the supremacy of their own.

    Pretty good way of stating it, jimmyb. Thanks

    But, in a way, we deserve it.
