Late last Friday, around midnight, the governor of New York signed legislation legalizing same sex marriage. This makes the Empire State the sixth and largest state to do so. Most of the media coverage seemed to celebrate this slide into the abyss of moral confusion. So now it’s clear; something can be legal and wrong at the same time. God’s law, should anyone care to know, condemns homosexuality. We should be weeping in repentance instead of celebrating in rebellion.
Here’s what I believe. I believe that when God created the sexual distinction of men and women in the beginning, it once and for all established heterosexuality as the moral standard. In the beginning God ordained marriage to be union of a man and a woman. Any aberration or perversion of this cannot constitute marriage. You can call it marriage if you want, but the Bible calls it sin.
I wonder if the conscience of gays is eased by this vote. I wonder if they are now more emboldened to press their agenda upon the rest of the country. I wonder how this will impact the children of the next generation. Truly, we have lost our way. Having turned from God’s light we are drifting into darkness. It’s midnight in New York.
