Lets Pray for this ACT

I’m writing because of an issue regarding us Christians as true believers of Jesus. We all know that America has become a country full of diversities of not only culture but of values, believes and norms. This isn’t a chain letter or anything, but an awareness of where society is heading, particularly here in California.

Biblical marriage has now become a continuous attack of homosexual activists, media and even politics here in California. Researches have shown that through the years the gap between favored traditional marriage and homosexual “marriage” has become a very narrow margin. The people of California passed Proposition 22 which amended that “only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California” in the year 2000, yet this was placed as a definition of marriage into California’s Family Code and not its constitution. The California Marriage Protection Act will place the language of Proposition 22, defining marriage as the “union of one man and one woman” into the state Constitution. This act is necessary so that by next year the Supreme Court won’t determine Proposition 22 as unconstitutional and that judicial decisions can’t hinder the religious freedoms of pastors and churches to act according to biblical truth. Yet before this Protection Act could qualify in November 2008 ballots, almost one million signatures have to be collected between now and Easter 2008. If California does turn over Proposition 22, the current legal protections for churches- and pastors’ freedom of speech will be contested in courts at every opportunity.

I know you won’t be able to participate in such petition, yet your prayers and that of your church will be MUCH of help for this to push through. I know when two or more are gathered together in His name, God is with them. We should all stand firm on the word of the Lord and do what’s right. Doing this doesn’t mean we don’t love our brothers and sisters who are gay, but as of obedience to the Lord, we should love the person and hate the sin. I believe we should stand up for our faith before it leads to a domino-effect of the many perversities that satan will continue to do in our society.

James 5:15-16 and I quote, “And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”

Let us PRAY together regarding this matter and for our gay brothers and sisters, may we not condemn them but bring them closer to Jesus for it says in John 3:16-17 and I quote, “For God so loved the world that He gave us His only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.” Thank you for taking the time to read this, and may you be able to share this with fellow Christians and gather together in prayer. God bless you
