I received an email from Duane Motley’s “New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms” ministry in the last week or so.  In it there was a call to action sent out to ministers of the Gospel to go to Albany next week and lobby against recent developments surrounding our governor’s decision to make NYS agencies recognize gay “marriages” that were established in other places.  In doing so Governor Paterson bypassed the legislative process and made New York recognize these unions.  And I thought, “I’ve had enough.”  Our state continues to decline in so many ways, economically and otherwise, and yet our state government seems bent on making our state just that much more abhorrent to the Lord.  It’s not enough that we allow unborn children to be killed on a very regular basis, protecting the practice of shedding innocent blood.  But to call a homosexual union “marriage”, to redefine what has been established for thousands of years in all societies and clearly defined in our own country’s history and laws; it’s just enough.  It’s time to speak up clearly and say no.  Now don’t get me wrong.  We need to love every person who calls themselves gay or lesbian.  There’s a big difference between the issue and the persons involved.  God’s Son was given for them as well as us.  But to call right that which is so obviously wrong; we have to answer this well.  I’m going to Albany next week and I pray that I join a thousand other ministers there to speak up for right and against that which is wrong.  PB
