The license is not the ceremony…
Same-Sex Marriage..
from a civil standpoint, I see it as a licensing issue.
The state licenses marriages.
That license gives legal standing
(in the eyes of the state)
to those who later engage in either a
civil or religious ceremony
that is the outward sign of their commitment
to go through life together.
The license is not the ceremony.
I’m convinced that people on either side of the issue
just don’t get that.
Fear and resentment find their homes
equally amongst those for and against the issue.
Although I hope the proponents of same-sex marriage
realize that marriage is a blue plate special – you get it all:
- loveless and loving
- unfaithful and faithful
- separated and united
- vicious divorces and amicable dissolutions
A lot of bad can happen
when the love is gone
and only the law remains.
Shane Claiborne, author of Jesus for President, to speak at Franklin Mills this weekend
This should turn out to be a really great set of services -
just don’t come expecting this to be a rally for McCain (or Obama for that matter).
This is from my pastor:
This coming weekend, Shane Claiborne,
author of Jesus for President,
will be speaking at our services.Shane will be speaking about
what it means to live as a “citizen of heaven” in the world today
and how this should impact our everyday lives.In preparing for Shane,
would you please be praying for the following?
- Pray that God blesses our services.
- Pray that God leads Shane as he speaks.
- Pray that God brings lots of unchurched people to our services.
- Pray about who God would have you invite.
God is going to use our services in a significant way this weekend.
I can’t wait to see what He does!I am praying to You because I know You will answer, O God.
Bend down and listen as I pray.
Psalm 17:6Be praying!
