President Obama has certainly
made his mark on the history of the United States. Our children will one day read about him in
American History books as the first black president, the first foreign born
president and the first president to play 150 rounds of golf in one term. Now, after the completion of Obama’s
‘evolution’, he has become the first president to support homosexual
marriage. But even those in the
homosexual community are questioning his motives. They realize that his support on this issue,
just like every other issue in the life of the Narcissist in Chief, centers on himself.
Ruth Marcus of the Washington
Post epitomized the pressure from the left for Obama to step out of the closet
regarding the homosexual issue. Marcus
proceeded to pommel the president with a series of punches: “Same-sex marriage is turning into a test of
character and leadership for President Obama,” she wrote. “Does he favor it, or
doesn’t he? In the wake of Vice President Biden’s remarks supportive of
marriage equality, the continued presidential equivocation makes Obama look
weak and evasive”.
The greatest fear of this president
is that his façade of strength will be melted away by the heated disapproval of
his own supporters to reveal just how weak he really is. Marcus’ uppercut was followed by this gut
punch, “The longer Obama waits, the worse he looks. The President’s first stall
tactic, that he is ‘evolving’ on the issue, doesn’t cut it anymore.” She finally throws the knock-out punch: “…doesn’t evolution imply change? And if you
think perhaps he’s still conflicted — well, that’s hardly an advertisement to
be leader of the free world. At this point, Obama’s reticence is looking
cowardly.” Being criticized by Fox News
is one thing, being pummeled by fellow liberals is more than the president can
endure. It’s like learning your wife is
seeing another man.
So, just what is it that
Obama supports? Homosexuality is an act
of immorality. It is immoral by the
standard of natural law, “men also abandoned natural relations with women and
were inflamed with lust for one another”,
(Romans 1:27) and it violates God’s moral law. The Apostle Paul lists the offenses that will
earn eternal separation from God. “Do
you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be
deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male
prostitutes nor homosexual offenders.”
(1 Cor. 6:9) If the leader of the free world will step out and support
the immoral behavior of homosexuality, is he also willing to support adultery,
fornication, and polygamy?
These forms of immorality
will eventually destroy a family, a church and finally a nation. Any president who would promote that which
would destroy us has no right to be the leader.
This utterly contradicts the intent of our founding fathers who founded
this country on Christian principles.
We’ve had many presidents who participated in immoral behavior, from
lying to staining a blue dress, but we have had none to blatantly verbalize
that such immoral behavior should be accepted as the norm. The president’s evolution on the immoral
practice of homosexuality simply mirrors the evolution in our society toward
sexual depravity. We must ask ourselves
the question: Does the president’s
evolution toward the acceptance of homosexuality indicate that our society’s
evolutionary slide to Gomorrah is complete?
Why does God condemn
adultery? Why does he condemn
homosexuality? Why did the original
marriage plan of God include one man and one woman, one husband and one
wife? It is because the institution of
marriage is sacred. The primary purpose
of the marriage relationship is to portray the relationship Christ has to the
church. “Husbands, love your wives, just
as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” (Eph. 5:25)
God provides us with the wonderful opportunity to have a personal
relationship with him but there are conditions we must meet. He demands fidelity, just as any decent
husband would demand of his wife or any wife her husband. When we pursue other gods, when we worship
other idols, our relationship with Christ becomes unsustainable. The marriage relationship between a man and a
woman is an earthly reflection of a spiritual relationship that can become
eternal.
The effort to destroy
marriage, to muck up the pure waters of something so sacred, is satanic. How better to besmirch the purity and
sacredness of marriage than to assault the institution with pornography, with
adultery, with infidelity and most definitely, with homosexuality. These sins cannot be participated in without
consequences. The sexual revolution of
the last fifty years has reaped fatherless children, orphans, broken homes,
innumerable divorces, rampant diseases, depression and suicides.
God’s primary purpose for
sexual relations between a man and a woman was to procreate. God was so pleased and blessed to see his
creation expand that he determined to make the experience of procreating
extremely pleasurable as a demonstration of his favor. Procreation has now become something to avoid
like a plague. The pleasure of sexual
relations has been so dulled by our willingness to overindulge that we have
stepped out of what God originally intended into that which is twisted and
unnatural in a vain attempt to overcome our desensitization to pleasure.
There is a horrible plague of
blindness that now pervades throughout American society. In an attempt to find and experience freedom
it was proclaimed loud and clear that ‘anything goes’, all sexual restraints
were lifted to try to satisfy the deep emptiness of godless souls. We became a society of moral zombies,
proclaiming that all was well, while we pretended a lie to our friends and
neighbors that we had finally found the secret to happiness. But the freedom we proclaimed was not real,
it was a fatal fantasy. The smile on our
faces was a failed attempt to hide the frown in our souls.
We put up a ‘Do Not Disturb’
sign to keep God from intruding in our society.
In our churches we replaced him with a cotton-candy prosperity gospel
that was too anemic to save and too empty to satisfy the needs of the
hungry. So, they have fled from the
church in search of another savior. The
blinded sexual libertarian cannot see that sexual depravity is not freedom, it
is bondage. It does not lead to happiness,
it leads to emptiness. It does not build
relationships, it destroys them. Discovering
why they think they are free when they are actually slaves to the bondage of
sexual immorality is a mystery for the ages.
We are living among “a
rebellious people. They have eyes to see
but do not see and ears to hear but they do not hear, for they are a rebellious
people.” (Ezekiel 12:2) It is most troubling that we are now assured
that the one who leads us is blinded as well.
It is fearful to think of what our destiny will be when the blind is
indeed, leading the blind.
