Earlier this week, the Supreme Court of California upheld Proposition 8 as a true Constitutional Amendment. In case you have been living under a rock for the last year, and your laptop and Internet card just arrived, you should know that prop. 8 was a Constitutional Amendment to the CA constitution defining marriage as one man and one woman. The referendum passed with a 53 percent majority. This is the second time CA voters have made this decision, passing a similar resolution in 2000 that was only a law and found to be unconstitutional last year. After the 2008 election, gay activists challenged the amendment in court, claiming it was somehow not a constitutional amendment.

Now that everyone is on the same page, let’s move on. I am thankful for two things. First, that the people of CA, or at least 53% of the voters, have either recognized the will of God for marriage, or understand the disasterous consequences that gay marriage can have on the family. I have stated before that the Bible only recognizes one type of marriage, and that breaking this commandment could not only lead to his wrath but could lead to legalized incest, pederasty, and even polygamy.

Second, as a proud American, I am grateful that the will of the majority of the people of CA has been heard and allowed to stand. I recognize the purpose of the courts in our system to interpret what the Founding Fathers intendend when they wrote the Constitution, when compared to new laws. But we must do everything we can, including Judicial Impeachment, to prevent our courts from legislating from the bench. When the will of the people and the intent of the Constitution are both ignored, tyranny will reign.

My brothers, we need to thank God for upholding this good law, and we must pray for our friends and neighbors that have chosen the homosexual lifestyle. We must have the strength to gently but firmly bring the law of God down upon them, convicting them of their sin, and then give them the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Amen.
