Satan's
Counter-Attack Against International Evangelism
1.
The Battle Tactics
What
is "evangelism", anyway? Ultimately, it is a word used
by Christians to describe the operation of fulfilling the
Great Commission given to the Church and all Christians
to fulfill before the end of the age. Evangelism has become
an integral part of fulfilling the Great Commission Jesus
gave to the Church and all Christians. When looked at from
a modern "military" point of view, we've basically been
given a command to wage an "information war" that would
by its very nature lead people to Jesus and salvation through
him. Satan and the demons are the enemy who directly oppose
Christians who are actively engaged in this evangelistic
info-war. The more successful Christians are at evangelism,
the harder Satan fights, and the more fierce his warfare
gets. Satan's primary method of blunting or countering
the proclamation of the gospel is found in Revelation 12:9-deception.
A prime example of his deception is the theory of evolution,
which denies creation. But what happens when evangelism
really starts to succeed anywhere, as it has been doing
in the third world countries due to the JESUS Film showings,
Samaritan's Purse, and Gospel for Asia
missionaries? Satan hasn't been able to blunt the success
of these evangelistic efforts. He must do something else.
He knows, when the gospel of the kingdom goes to the entire
world in the end times (which is now, a time when man can
erase himself and all life from off the planet), that's
it for him. And besides that, every person who accepts
Christ has the Holy Spirit come and reside in him or her.
When this occurs, demons have to duck, run and take cover.
They can't stand the light from the Holy Spirit, even glowing
invisibly from a Christian. They're having to do this in
more and more locations around the world. Let's get military
on this, looking for a military tactic that could be used
to stop this worldwide success in evangelism. In the romanticized
movie story of Jessie James (American Outlaws) a tactic
was clearly demonstrated that could stop a superior force
that couldn't be stopped conventionally. The railroad was
"stealing" farms and farmland to build a railroad through
the south. Jessie and his gang (in the movie) resorted
to hitting the payroll train, robbing train after train
of railroad company payrolls, which brought rail construction
to a grinding halt. The U.S.
Army Air Corps used the same tactic to halt the mighty German
war-machine by bombing the German held oil-fields in Ploesti,
Romania.
This is a highly successful tactic of stopping a military
unit, army, airforce, what-have-you, by cutting off its
supplies, and especially the fuel it runs on. It is employed
when you can't stop the enemy force normally, tank for tank,
man for man, plane for plane.
Just what kind of success, effects are these modern international
evangelistic organizations having on the "enemy". For a
more detailed description of what each one is currently
doing, log onto http://www.UNITYINCHRIST.COM/evangelism/whyjesus.htm,

International
evangelism is going crazy, billions have seen the JESUS
film, multiple hundreds of thousands have responded favorably,
calling Jesus into their lives. Samaritan's Purse and
Gospel for Asia are also making a huge impact on the international evangelistic
scene. Franklin Graham is being used by the Sudanese
as a go-between in an effort to end the civil war in the
Sudan, bringing relief to many Christians living in the
southern half of the Sudan. Most of the funding going to these organizations
comes from American Christians and their churches. How can Satan stop this international evangelism
that's going wild? Easy, cut off the funding which is coming from the richest nation on earth. How
can he do that??? By politically and legally driving the
true Christian's and their churches underground. How much
time will it take to do that? Estimate: five to ten years,
medium time seven years. (It could happen much sooner if
Christian's cave on the key issues brought out in this article.)
That's how much time the body of Christ has to fulfill Matthew
24:14, which states, "And this gospel of the kingdom shall
be preached around the world, and then the end will come."
Why do I feel this time estimate is correct? While I know
most people won't interpret the information Dr. Dobson presented
the way I have, realize, I'm combining all the information
on international evangelism I have been able to garner for
my site, along with David Brickners stunning revelation
about what gay-lesbian PR has accomplished (see http://www.UNITYINCHRIST.COM/evangelism/waronjewishevan.htm
), which I also have personally witnessed in the attitudes
and number of people my daughter says are either gay or
lesbian in her school (and 99.999 percent of that is being
done to be considered "in", not that I think these kids
start out gay or lesbian). New terms in school have been
coined like "he's bi" or "she's bi" meaning bi-sexual.
Regardless of how small the exact number of kids who are
actually gay-lesbian, the number of kids sympathetic to
the gay-lesbian agenda is overwhelming. In three to five
years these kids will be voting age! That is what the
gay-lesbian PR has accomplished. My comments inserted
into the following Dr. Dobson letter about most of the country
becoming sympathetic to the gay-lesbian agenda, and voting
that way, undoing any legislative victories Christians may
achieve right now, is soooo true, just from what I am hearing
and observing in my daughter's Voc. Tech High School. And
this is a regional high school with kids from eighteen
different towns.
[How
bad is it? This is from the mouth of a credible witness,
a senior a this voc-tech high school. She had this to say
when I asked her how many were actually practicing gay-lesbian
at the school she attends, "It
is around 25 percent of the students that are gay-lesbian
(mostly lesbian). I see them all necking in the hallways
between classes." She has been a student
here for four years, so she knows most of the students and
can judge percentages pretty well. So we have a school
that represents 18 communities, with 25 percent of the student
population exhibiting gay-lesbian habits in the hallways
between classes. Also I misjudged the voting age, forgetting
that the voting age was lowered to 18 during the Vietnam
War. This means the 40%pro-gay-lesbian/60%anti-gay-lesbian
percentages in the United States voting population will
reverse rather rapidly, and much sooner than most think
if these trends continue. With a 60% pro-gay-lesbian population
in place, unfair hate-crime legislation will effectively
be introduced, which will then muzzle the Word of God and
drive true Christian congregations underground. Preachers
and lay-people alike could face stiff fines and jail sentences
for merely preaching out of the Word of God. Don't think it could happen
here in the United States? It's already happening in Australia.]
This acceptance attitude is wide-spread and all-encompassing.
For whatever reason, true Christians are going to be "hated
for His name's sake" around the world, and for various reasons.
In the United States it is becoming
clear that the reason will be due to our stance on the gay-lesbian
agenda battle, which we will end up loosing. Why?
Because we've already lost the hearts of the kids, the
vast majority going to high school right now at this very
moment! Best we can do at this point in time is fight
a delaying action as hard as we can.
So how can we beat the tactics that Satan is employing to
cut off money going into these very successful international
evangelistic organizations, and do so before our American
Christian churches are ultimately driven underground, no
longer able to send funding anywhere? That is the central
question facing us-it goes far beyond what's happening on
the gay-lesbian battle-field. That battle is being leveled
at us due to the success of evangelism in the third world
countries, make no mistake about it. The only way to beat Satan's tactic of cutting off our
supplies to international evangelism is to get those precious
funds and supplies to our front-line evangelistic troops
BEFORE THEY'RE CUT OFF.
That's the only way we can succeed at this point. In the
next part of this article, we'll be reading Dr. Dobson's
letter, which fully explains the gay-lesbian battle that's
raging between Christians and the gays and lesbians (which
very interestingly are only a very small fraction of the
US population).
Regarding
the photo's that follow: The bombing raids on Ploesti were
carried out by very brave and gallant bomber aircrew, and
were responsible for bringing the mighty German war machine-army,
navy, air force-to a grinding halt. It shortened the war
by at least one year. It was a highly successful military
tactic of cutting off vital supplies-fuel oil and gasoline-which
all German equipment ran on. This very tactic is one Satan
is attempting to now utilize on International Evangelism.
2. The Battle
With that in mind I present a letter written to me by Dr. James Dobson. As you
read this letter, I hope you read between the lines, as
I have, to see Satan's real reason behind this gay-agenda
push. And have no doubt in your mind, the gays and lesbians
hate anything and everything to do with true born-again
Christians and Christianity. They will do ALL in their
power to ultimately make it illegal to proclaim the gospel
or preach openly out of the Word of God. True Christian
churches will have to go underground to continue to do so.
"Dear
Mr. Benson,
I realize that you may already have received a letter from
me on this issue. But it is so important, I wanted to be
sure you were aware of it.
It is with great concern that I share with you my conviction
that the institution of marriage is in grave danger-more
than at any other time in history. The battle could be
won or lost in the next few months.
The homosexual activist movement is poised to administer
a devastating and potentially fatal blow to the traditional
family. And sadly, very few Christians in positions of
responsibility are willing to use their influence to save
it. I believe that duty has now fallen to people like you
and me.
Researchers have been warning about this looming cultural
storm for the past decade. Evidence is rapidly accumulating
that they were right. A handful of power-obsessed judges
is determined to force the homosexual agenda down the throats
of the people and thereby change forever the legal definition
of marriage. [and once homosexual marriage is legal, preaching
out of Romans or Leviticus or anywhere in the Bible that
condemns homosexuality will become illegal by the very laws
of the land--read between the lines on this issue!]
I cannot overstate the dire ramifications of what is happening
in the United States and other Western
nations. For millennia, traditional marriage has been celebrated
by every culture on earth as the cornerstone of society.
But in the late 60s and early 70s, no-fault divorce laws,
radical feminism and a sweeping sexual revolution combined
here in the United States to rip apart the fabric of the family.
So it was with a growing apprehension about this situation
that I resigned my academic position in 1977 and started
a fledgling organization called Focus on the Family. In
the 26 years since then, we have been working tirelessly
to preserve traditional marriage and parenthood.
Over the past several months, we've been in a downward spiral.
Now, the very institution of marriage is on the ropes.
Imagine a future where marriage means only a temporary relationship
between any number of people of any gender. We could see
polygamy, group marriage, even things I wouldn't want to
mention. Our sex-crazed society could fall right into the
abyss. Western civilization itself appears to hang in the
balance.
How Did We Get Into This Mess?
The first blow came on June 10, 2003, when three imperious
judges on the Canadian Supreme Court declared the exclusivity
of marriage between one man and one woman to be unconstitutional.
Homosexuals everywhere cheered the decision-and for good
reason.
Within two weeks, on June 26, 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court
struck down the Texas law prohibiting sodomy in the Lawrence
v. Texas decision. Writing for the majority, Justice
Anthony Kennedy cavalierly stated the law's ".continuance
as precedent demeans the lives of homosexual persons."
By ruling that sodomy is a constitutionally protected "right,"
the Court decided that considerations of morality and decency
were irrelevant.
On November 18, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that
gay couples have the right to wed. By a 4-3 decision, the
Court gave the state legislature six months to rewrite the
state's marriage laws to include homosexual couples. Observers
believe the ruling will drive same-sex marriage to the center
of the upcoming election. Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney
has vowed to fight the ruling through an amendment to the
state constitution.
These and other disturbing judicial decisions are accompanied
by a virtual avalanche of gay and lesbian advances. Consider:
On July 28, the New York Board of Education announced the
creation of a gay-oriented high school in New
York City, because, in the words of Mayor Michael Bloomberg,
"everybody feels that it's a good idea."
On August 5, the United Episcopal Church ordained its first
gay bishop and on August 7, affirmed the establishment of
"gay unions."
During the first week of August, the California State Legislature
passed Assembly Bill 196 with the intent to "protect" transgendered
people from employment and housing discrimination. Cross-dressers
will have the same right to work in your business or live
in your rental home as anyone else. It's amazing that sinful
lifestyles are gaining this kind of protection.
In an obvious attempt to solidify his crumbling base, California
Governor Gray Davis has publicly supported a bill that would
give gay "partners" almost every legal benefit and privilege
that married couples now enjoy. This act of legislative
arrogance ignores the will of the vast majority of Californians.
Just two years ago, the state's voters overwhelmingly passed
by a margin of 61 to 39 percent Proposition 22, which declared
marriage as a union "between a man and a woman."
It seems as if every television sitcom now includes a gay
character portrayed in a positive light-whereas heterosexual
men are displayed as bumbling fools. Then we have a rash
of new programs that center on homosexuality, including
Bravo's new makeover show, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
and Boy Meets Boy. Meanwhile, ABC is rolling out its own gay sitcom,
It's All Relative. The bottom line was summarized in an article in The
New York Times on July 29, which followed this
headline: "Gay-Themed TV Gaining a Wider Audience." Who
can deny that?
What makes these developments so shocking is that the legal
acceptance of homosexual marriage was little more than a
pipe dream just a few years ago. But it has become a tidal
wave that is sweeping the globe.
More Trouble on the Horizon
Homosexual activists, heady with power and exhilaration,
now feel the climate is right to tell us what they have
wanted all along. This is the Real Deal: most gays and
lesbians do not want to marry each other. That would entangle
them in all sorts of legal constraints. Who needs a lifetime
commitment to one person? The intention here is to destroy
marriage altogether.
With marriage as we know it gone, everyone would enjoy all
the legal benefits of marriage-custody rights, tax-free
inheritance, joint ownership of property, health care, and
spousal citizenship and more-without limits to the number
of partners or their gender. Nor would "couples" be bound
to each other in the eyes of the law. This is clearly where
the movement is headed. If you doubt that this is the motive,
read it for yourself.
Liberal columnist Michael Kinsley wrote an op-ed piece in
the Washington Post entitled "Abolish Marriage: Let's Really Get the Government
Out of Our Bedrooms." [Yeah, get them out of our bedrooms
and into our Christian churches, Mr. Kinsley! See where
this is going, Christian.] Note the date of the piece:
July 3, 2003. In this revealing editorial, Kinsley writes,
"(The) solution is to end the institution of marriage, or
rather the solution is to end the government monopoly on
marriage. And yes, if three people want to get married,
or one person wants to marry herself, and someone else wants
to conduct a ceremony and declare them married, let 'em.
If you and your government aren't implicated, what do you
care? If marriage were an entirely private affair, all
the disputes over gay marriages would become irrelevant."
Polygamy, anyone? That is precisely what the more radical
activists want. And as we all know, they have gotten nearly
everything they have cooked up in recent years.
Admittedly, this hostility to marriage is not all that new.
In 1918, the Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin abolished
marriage and declared the family obsolete. His motive was
simple: the "family" prevented women from doing work that
was useful to the state. Do you see the stunning parallel
to the current crisis of our times? The stability of the
American family today is not only being slandered, but slaughtered!
Indeed, bad things will continue to happen if good people
do nothing.
We Face Unimaginable Consequences
Stanley Kurtz, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution,
summed up the crisis in a recent Weekly
Standard article. He noted that if gay marriage
is legalized, "Marriage will be transformed into a variety
of relationship contracts, linking two, three or more individuals
(however weakly or temporarily) in every conceivable combination
of male and female.the bottom of this slope is visible from
where we now stand."
In a recent National
Review Online article, Maggie Gallagher noted that "Gay
marriage is not some sideline issue, it is the marriage debate..The consequences of our current retreat
from marriage is not a flourishing libertarian social order,
but a gigantic expansion of state power and a vast increase
in social disorder and human suffering." [Did you catch
that?-"a vast expansion of state power"-and
where do you think that state power will be aimed? It will
be aimed at regulating what detractors want to say or preach
against the gay agenda.]
Her dire warning is echoed in a Boston
Globe editorial by Jeff Jacoby. He noted that
"the adoption of same-sex marriage would topple a longstanding
system of shared values. It would change assumptions and
expectations by which society has long operated-that men
and women are not interchangeable, for example, and that
the central reason for marriage is to provide children with
mothers and fathers in a safe and loving environment."
His commentary concludes with these words: "My foreboding
is that a generation after same-sex marriage is legalized,
families will be even less stable than they are today, the
divorce rate will be even higher, and children will be even
less safe. To express such a dire warning is to be labeled
an alarmist, a reactionary, a bigot, and worse..But it is
not bigotry to try to learn from history, or to point out
that some institutions have stood the test of time because
they are the only ones that can stand the test of time."
Can you now see that the legalization
of homosexual marriage is for gay activists merely a stepping-stone
on the road to eliminating all societal restrictions on marriage
and sexuality? Perhaps it is evident now why I began this letter by predicting
that unless we act quickly, the family as it has been known
for 5,000 years will become extinct. With its demise will
come chaos such as the world has never seen before. Why?
Let me explain.
God's Design for Marriage
First and foremost, the Holy Scriptures set forth the Creator's
plan for marriage and family. To deviate from that model
is to invite disaster. As early as the second chapter of
Genesis, we learn that God created Eve as a "suitable companion"
for Adam who would complement him physically, spiritually
and emotionally. This "marriage" was the very first institution
that God created. And it continues to be the primary institution
of society to this day.
God's design for marriage is not simply some lofty spiritual
ideal. The Bible also outlines a specific plan for human
sexuality. Throughout Scripture, God's intention for human
sexual relationships is clearly limited to the heterosexual
union between a man and a woman in marriage (see Genesis
1:27-28 and 2:18, 23-24).
By stark contrast, sex outside of that relationship, whether
it be of a heterosexual or homosexual nature, is clearly
identified as sin. With particular regard to homosexuality,
Paul warns: ".God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even
their women exchanged natural relationships for unnatural
ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations
with women and were inflamed with lust for one another.
Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received
in themselves the due penalty for their perversion" (Romans
1:26b-27).
But even for those who don't take the Bible into account,
heterosexual marriage has been the cornerstone of every
civilization from the beginning of humanity. Only in the
last few "milliseconds" of human history have we even entertained
the idea that marriage is anything other than the union
of a male and a female. If you spin the globe and stop
it with your finger on an inhabited landmass, you can be
assured that the region on which it rests has always embraced heterosexual marriage as the norm. There are no
exceptions.
We Must Act Now for Our Children's
Sake
If the God-ordained basis for the family does fail on a
large scale, children will pay a terrible price.
Social science confirms that two parents of the same sex,
however loving or nurturing they may be, cannot meet the
unique needs of children in the same way that a mother and
father can.
The destruction of the traditional family will condemn millions
of kids to temporary relationships, involving multiple "moms"
or "dads," six or eight "grandparents," and perhaps a dozen
or more half-siblings who will come and go as those who
care for them meander from one sexual relationship to another.
These children will be shuffled from pillar to post in an
ever-changing pattern by two (or more) androgynous beings.
"Mother" and "father" will become meaningless words that
will not define anything substantive about women and men.
Any apparent differences between the sexes will be seen
as merely superficial and of no practical consequence.
I have only begun to describe the meltdown that will occur
if same-sex marriage is finally thrust upon society. But
for the moment, there is still time to act.
A Promising Solution
How can we counter the drive to obtain legal recognition
of same-sex marriage? I believe there is only one way.
In a recent article for National
Review, Notre Dame law professor Gerard V. Bradley
noted: "The only way to rein in this runaway Court is to
change the supreme positive law: the Constitution. The
Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA) would do that. It would
impose upon willful judges and justices a limitation on
their ability to redefine the family. The amendment would
leave legislatures free to extend some benefits to non-marital
households. But courts could not."
Here is the wording of the Federal Marriage Amendment, which
the House and Senate will be debating shortly:
Marriage in the United States shall consist
only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this constitution
or the constitution of any state, nor state or federal law,
shall be construed to require that marital status or the
legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples
or groups."
The FMA represents what may truly be our last opportunity
to ensure that traditional marriage is legally protected.
The
key strength of the FMA is that it will ensure that the
constitutional status of marriage is determined by the American
people and their representatives, rather than by un-elected
judges. [And I might add here, that this will slow the trend, this
attack of Satan, but it will not stop it. Why? When the
majority becomes gay, lesbian, or sympathetic to their cause, then the "representatives and American people" will
make another constitutional amendment, pushing this whole
situation the other way. That is the inherent weakness
of a democracy and republican form of government, one which
the Founding Fathers well understood. And the gays and
lesbians have achieved huge successes in the public relations
arena. Click on and read the article "War Against Jewish
Evangelism" for more details on that.]
This effort to save the family is our D-Day, our Gettysburg,
our Stalingrad. This is the big one.
If we cannot pass a Constitutional amendment protecting
traditional marriage, gay marriage will become a reality. It will no longer be a matter of if,
but
when. And when means soon.
I'm thankful that our President spoke out on this divisive
issue during a recent press conference, saying "I believe
marriage is between a man and a woman and I believe we ought
to codify that one way or the other." More than 100 editorials
and articles followed his statement, and all but three were
negative! It's important that we remind our leaders in
the strongest possible terms how important this issue is
to us. We cannot accept compromise or uncertainty in the
face of the current onslaught of gay activism.
Clearly, the struggle to pass the FMA is going to be long
and arduous. Passage of any Constitutional amendment is
a massive undertaking. The FMA will require the support
of two-thirds of the House of Representatives, two-thirds
of the Senate and a full three-quarters of the states in
order to pass and become a part of our Constitution. That
cannot be accomplished by only a few concerned citizens
like you and me.
You Can Help Save Marriage
In light of this reality, I want to implore you to commit
yourselves to an unprecedented degree of social activism
in defense of marriage. Take the message that traditional
marriage must be preserved to literally everyone in your circle of influence-your friends,
neighbors, co-workers and extended family. It is vitally
important that you do so.
And please also prayerfully consider joining with Focus
on the Family once again as a financial partner by sending
a special gift to help with this effort. The sacred institution
of marriage cannot be saved unless all of us who care deeply
about it help support aggressive action to preserve it.
Together, we must draw a line in the sand here and now.
The battle to defend biblical marriage will likely be long
and difficult. And it will be most definitely costly [Satan's
design, drawing needed funding away from international
evangelism-get the big picture here folks, we're in a massive
spiritual World War, not some isolated attack against American
Christianity! But this attack against American Christianity
is designed to draw to a screeching halt the funding for
international evangelism. If the gays and lesbians win
these legal battles, we as Christians will ultimately, and
sooner than you think, be driven underground, no longer
able to preach openly from God's Word! This is more than
an isolated attack against marriage as we know it, it goes
deeper than that. Think folks, put on those thinking caps.
Our central command from our Commander in Chief, Jesus Christ,
is found in Matthew 28:18-20 and Acts 1:6-9. Satan is desperately
trying to cut off the major funding for international evangelism
which is accomplishing Jesus' central command for all Christians.
But Jesus did prophecy we'd get the job done, in the end.
Read Matthew 24:14. My guess, we have five years to get
the job done in the international arena, before the gay-lesbian
agenda with their PR campaigns totally outgun us and have
the laws changed by the very House of Representatives and
Senate that we are seeking to have writing the FMA into
the Constitution. I will propose a very simple and individually inexpensive way we all as Christians can beat this deadline and really
proclaim "this gospel of the kingdom" to the entire world
within the next five years. I'll do that at the end of
this letter. Do not under-estimate the seriousness of this
onslaught of gay-lesbian agenda, or where it's really coming
from. And we must, as Dr. Dobson begs us to do, contribute
in this battle he's describing. But we must not cease from
supporting our Christian front-line troops who are on the
front-battle-lines of international evangelism. As much
as I hate setting dates, but I think the whole show will
be over within five to ten years, Matthew 24:14 will be
fulfilled, and the Lord's coming will only be 3.5 years
away. That's my estimate--not a sure thing, merely an estimate.
Now let's get back to Dr. Dobson's letter.] We are doing
everything we can to devote sufficient resources to this
fight while at the same time preserving funding for the
many other worthy endeavors being carried forth by this
ministry; strengthening families, preserving traditional
values and changing lives through the power of the Gospel.
But I believe so strongly in our duty here that I stepped
out in faith and authorized $500,000 for the expansion of
our public policy budget in order to respond to this threat
to marriage, and you and I know that this is just the beginning
of our struggle! We will not be able to fight
this battle without the help of people like you-concerned
citizens who believe deeply in the sanctity of marriage.
Your gift of $25, $35, $50 or even $100 or more will make a difference. Your contribution will help underwrite
efforts in state legislatures and our nation's capital.
It will help us put the word in the streets that the family
is under direct attack. And most important, it will help
us speak out about the dire consequences that will surely
result from a wholesale dismantling of marriage as we know
it.
If you can join Focus on the Family at this turning point
in our nation's history, I'd like to say thank you with
a complimentary copy of a wonderful book called America's God and Country. Just see the enclosed reply card.
There is hope
Before closing, I want to offer a word of hope. I have
said on numerous occasions that the institution of marriage
was created and ordained by God. If that is true-and I
wholeheartedly believe that it is-then no wrong-headed law
can destroy it.
But while God's plan for marriage cannot be undone, man's
attempt to create an "alternative" promises to leave a legacy
of confusion, turmoil and broken lives throughout our society.
Please pray with me that a meltdown of that magnitude does
not happen. Yes, do be in concerted prayer for the family,
for our leaders, and for our nation. If we get out of the
mess we are in now, it will be due to nothing short of divine
intervention and guidance.
We face a daunting challenge. However, the well-being of
future generations is dependent upon the way we answer this
imminent threat now. God and history will judge us on how we handle this crisis.
In the National
Review Online article by Maggie Gallagher, the author
notes: "Marriage is not an option, it is a precondition
for social survival..Winning the gay-marriage debate may
be hard, but those of us who witnessed the fall of Communism,
despair is inexcusable and irresponsible."
I pray that the Lord would grant us the wisdom and strength
to defend marriage. For additional information, please

P.S.
Please help save traditional marriage by sending the most
generous gift you can today. The need is both grave and
urgent. What we do today could determine the future of
marriage as we know it. I cannot overstate the importance
of your support. Thank you-and God bless you.
