Earlier this month, the United States Department of Justice filed an appeal in two cases in defense of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). In both instances, judges ruled that the federal definition of marriage as between one man and one woman was unconstitutional.
The Department of Justice brief also makes a statement that is disconcerting for all American Christians, saying, “Our society is evolving” and “the ‘science of government…is the science of experiment’,” “Over the years, the prevailing concept of marriage has been challenged as unfair to a significant element of the population. Recently there has been a growing recognition that the prevailing regime is harmful to gay and lesbian members of our society.”
President Obama has expressed support for civil unions for gay and lesbian couples and recently said that his view on same-sex marriage is “evolving.” Obama has also repeatedly stated that he does not support DOMA and believes that it is discriminatory…but as president, he said he has a duty to uphold existing law.
“God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity… because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie.” (Romans 1:24-25) The growing homosexual movement is an indicator of the eventual rejection, by the American people, of everything pertaining to God.
Without the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in the lives of Americans, the repeal of DOMA seems inevitable. As a Christian, take this time to pray.
