The Christian’s Response to Political Activism by David L. Miner

Introduction: Our current political climate has presented Americans with issues not faced for at least 200 years. The very foundations of our national identity and what America was founded to be have been changed and modified over the past one hundred years, leaving millions of Americans feeling that these united States are heading in the wrong direction. A mounting set of global philosophies and policies are being put into place which control our nation’s future. Many believe these policies have gone beyond what the Constitution allows, and some believe things have gone too far to reverse. Further, many conservative Christian churches and denominations see the new millennium as the initial stages of the biblical events surrounding the end of time as we know it. "End Times" messages are the norm in our Sunday services. The Tribulation is suggested as beginning either January 1 st , 2000 or shortly thereafter. It has even been suggested that the Rapture...

Can the Gay Marriage Decision Be Reversed

The Supreme Court of the United States has a history of unjust, unconstitutional or political decisions. It has been the tool liberals have used for accomplishing their agenda, which cannot pass either through direct vote or legislation for most of this century. The Gay marriage decision exemplifies liberalism's use of  the courts to advance its unpopular agenda. Evey time Gay marriage has been put to a vote (as recently as 2014) even the most liberal states have rejected it. The recent OBERGEFELL ET AL. v. HODGES, DIRECTOR, OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, ET Al.,           upheld the legality of same sex  marriage in all 50 states and US territories. The decision created "a right to dignity" protected by the 14th Amendement, and nullified the first, ninth and tenth amendments.

Gay Marriage: What Now?

After last Friday's ruling by the US Supreme Court making gay marriage the law of the land there have been many calls for action from evangelical Christians.  Many have expressed surprise disappointment and fear. Personally I was unmoved by the decision as it was exactly what I expected from this court. I have predicted that  the court was poised to make this decision  and have clearly stated that gay marriage stands in opposition to Christian teaching and will destroy our culture. It is now obvious that we live in a Post-Christian nation. Not only was marriage re-defined by the court so was religious liberty . Some conservative politicians are proposing legislation and constitutional amendments to either reverse the affects of the ruling or expressing there angst about it. Church leaders are warning of inevitable persecution. There is little hope for reversal of this decision through politics or civil disobedience. This post on  Samson's Jawbone will...
