Gay bulls are culled

Should I get involved in the gay marriage debate I ask myself. Probably not, but then I have always tended to go where angels fear to tread. Many current Church attendees seem to believe that gay marriage is no big thing, so should I, as a Christian, go along with that? Christians are taught that marriage is an institution blessed by God etc, etc. Paul seems to be a bit confused about the whole thing actually. Spend some time with a Bible concordance researching marriage and see what you come up with.
Personally I think we Christians have more important things to worry about, and work on, than gay couples getting married. Let us remember that we are in the end times and it is inevitable that sin will increase and Christian values will be ridiculed. Gay marriage is not to be confused with homosexuality. Homosexuality is condemned by God. Why should two men, or two women, not live together if they truly love each other, and have that love recognized as a marriage? If that couple practice same sex intercourse then that becomes another matter. As an ex farmer I can tell you that homosexual bulls were culled and sent to the meat works. I would not advocate that for humans.
In summary, I would say let gay couples marry if that is what they think they need to make their love real. (A sad thought.) Meanwhile us Christians need to get on with loving our fellow man regardless of their sexual orientation.

Impatient Waiting

My favourite bible verse is Isaiah 40:31: They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. I usually use it as a call to worship on those occasions God permits me to preach from a pulpit. I have always believed it as saying to me that the Lord will do all those things for me if I but trust in him. I have recently read, however, an old sermon of John Murray's. It is contained in a book titled With Wings As Eagles, copyrighted and published in 1993 by Whitaker House. While my beliefs are agreed to by Murray, the big thing he pointed out were the words 'They that WAIT upon the Lord.' This has become my reality. I have recently shifted to Masterton in New Zealand. I did so at what I believed was the prompting of my Lord. The reason for my need to relocate was not made apparent to me but I believed fervently that it would become apparent in the Lords time. Not a patient person, I have waited for about 4 months for the reason to become apparent. As I sit writing this, and looking back over those 4 months, I can see that the need for me to be where I am is becoming apparent. I have been able to publish, as an e-book, Promises, a book of children's stories suitable for young and old. (Check it out on Smashwords, Barnes and Noble etc., or even purchase it for 0.99c USD from those stores.) Further, my other books have taken giant steps along the publishing road. I have also noticed that my involvement in my new Church is starting to be a little fruitful. However, I must still WAIT upon the Lord, something I do with impatience.
