The Supreme Court passed a new law last week. It said that homosexual people have the right to get married. I guess that implies that all churches should marry anyone who wants to get married. I am afraid that the churches who disagree and refuse to marry a homosexual couple will have their non-tax provision go away. Now I don’t think that homosexual people should be killed or thrown off roofs as they are in other countries. They can be forgiven just as well as anyone who lies or steals, but we should remember it is a sin.

In Leviticus 18:22, God considers homosexuality an abomination and in Leviticus 20:13, where God is setting down the laws to live by, he says “If there are men who lie down with a male as those who lie with a woman, both males have committed a detestable act.”

I don’t think the members of the Supreme Court looked in the Bible before giving them this right, but if homosexuality is a sin, why do we let them get married? “A good question” someone said to me the other day. Isn’t it better to talk forgiveness to them?

It all boils down to this: We have forgotten to read our Bibles. We have forgotten God. We have gone our own way. Our Bibles tell us that God acts when a country that has dedicated itself to Him forgets that He has given us everything. I only hope that there are many of us Americans who will stand up for the good things and fight against those things that are bad. Are you with  me? I guess you noticed I haven’t used the word GAY, not even once. That is because I used to like the word, a synonym for HAPPY.

A group of people were meeting for a Bible Study last Wednesday evening. They were completely absorbed in their study when a man, a boy really, entered the church. He pulled out a gun and shot nine of them, why? No one knows but the families of those killed were aware and yet they said, “We forgive him.”

The next morning as a mother was taking her two children to school  found she needed gas in her car so she stopped at a gas station.  A black man started toward her. Probably because of all the trouble in cities everywhere, she felt a tendency to run. The man said, “May I help you?” Her fear quickly ended.

As he was filling her car with gas, she talked with him. “I’m going over to the church where the shooting was last night, ” I really feel I have to go and help those people who lost family members,” she said. “I’m going too,” he answered. The two people hugged and prayed.

When the two of them got back into her car, her little boy asked, “Will this happen in our church too?” Right away mother decided to take her two children to the church too. They can go to school a little later, she decided. As they drew near the church they saw hundreds of people singing Gospel songs. And she saw the families of those who were killed in front of the people.

The white mother and the black man hugged again. Mother said,”Let’s find someone to take our picture. I want to remember everything that happened today,”

The picture was taken and they joined all of the folks singing “This Little Light Of Mine.” All of them joined hands. The mother whispered to her little son, “See how they love one another. That’s how all of us should act.”

Quite a difference from the way other cities acted, isn’t it. Maybe it shows we can make it! I mean turning our country around. If everyone acted like the mother, the black man and everyone who was at that black church that morning, we sure could. I call it a miracle!
