Gay Marriage

Three cheers for the New Hampshire Senate for passing their state’s Gay Marriage Bill!!

This is mostly directed at those who take offense to what I just said.


Why am I so happy?

Spending time and resources on trying to restrict how consenting adults express their love for each other is such a waste.

It just should not be the issue it is.

One of the illusions we collectively suffer from is: if we pass a law against something then it won’t exist. This misguided, irrational thinking comes from the notion of needing to feel like we are in control of all aspects of life.

There are certain things that will never be legislated out of existence, no matter how much you may want to get rid of them. Get over it and get on with making your own individual life what God intended it to be.

I don’t profess to know what God’s plan is for your life, but I can absolutely and without reservation tell you what it is not.

God did not put you on this Earth to be divisive and propagate hate. That would be impossible, for hate is foreign to the Holy Spirit of pure love.

Do you feel the Bible has to be defended; that the moral values it contains must be enforced? Do you feel Homosexuality is a sin?

Folks, God is in charge. He who created a universe 78 Billion Light Years across doesn’t need our protection.

I take seriously Jesus’ challenge in John 8:7. "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." NIV

What happened? John 8:9 tells us: At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. NIV

Let the ONE who is living purely in the Light of the Holy Spirit be our example. He responded with love to this woman – he defended her at great risk to himself.

He asks the same of us.

Are we up to the challenge?
