You probably noticed what the federal court said about Nebraska's anti-same sex marriage law. They ruled it unconstitutional. The ramifications of this are enormous. If homosexual couples are protected under the Constitution, what happens to Christian organizations that receive federal money? Christian schools, for instance, receive millions of dollars of financial aid each year. They expel students who are openly homosexual because it is against their code of conduct because of their belief that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin. Will they lose their access to federal finanical aid?
What about churches who do not condone homosexual priests? Or what about churches who discipline those who promote their homosexual lifestyle? Will they lose their tax exempt status?
I wrote to Senator Hagel and Senator Nelson about this very issue when there was talk of a Federal Marriage Amendment. I encouraged them to support the issue that marriage was between one man and one woman. They both wrote back and said they did not support the amendment because they said it was a state's rights issue. Well, gentlemen, it seems that there are those in the justice (and I use that term loosely) system believe it's not a state's rights issue. By they way, Nebraskans passed this bill by over 70%. How can one judge go against the will of so many people?
The Scripture says, "Rigtheousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to many people." I pray for our country.
Just a side bar here, those of you who read my blog regularly know how much I don't like to mow grass. I could see my breath while mowing today! That's just not right!! And I thought it was April showers bring May flowers. Seems that May monsoon's bring June's blooms. Oh, that was bad!! Later. JW
