Anugrah Kumar of The
Christian Post reports,
“The Obama administration on Friday filed a brief, urging the Supreme Court to
strike down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, which keeps the federal
government from recognizing same-sex couples legally married in states, and
calling the law unconstitutional.”
Let us therefore fight this further attack on normative
values with the mightiest weapons we have!
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the
weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling
down of strong holds” (2 Cor. 10:3—4). All of the Right’s lobbying and protest
is impotent, without recognizing and fighting the spiritual darkness back of
the personalities and powers. So, let us,
“in one accord,” pray for courts of justice in our land.
ALMIGHTY God, who sittest in the throne judging right; We humbly beseech thee to bless the courts of justice and magistrates in all this land; and give unto them a spirit of wisdom and understanding, that they may discern the truth, and impartially administer the law in the fear of thee alone; through him who shall come to be our Judge, they Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen! (BCP, 1928, pp. 35—36).
How
Long, until we will hear the voice of Wisdom, who beckons us, saying, “Whoso
is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding,
she saith to him, come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I
have mingled. Forsake the foolish, and
live; and go in the way of understanding” (Prov. 9:4—6)?
Blessings,
ReplyDeleteI like the new pictures, and add a hearty amen to your post.The political process is important, but unless God builds the house, they labour in vain who build it.
Thanks, Bishop. You are exactly right, and there is a goodish bit of vanity in D.C. these days.
