Taking a Biblical Stand

Last night, at the Mecklenburg County Commissioner meeting, approval was granted for the county to begin offering benefits to "domestic partners" (the politically correct term for homosexual partners).

Several used the argument that, "God is love and is accepting of all individuals," in favor of offering benefits to homosexual partners. Those same individuals were also very intolerant of those who were strongly opposed to this issue.

It is becoming very evident that the world (and even mainline "Christianity") is becoming more and more intolerant of those who take a Biblical stand against sin!

However, for those who would stand strong, find encouragment in the words of Paul, "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong." (1 Corinthians 16:13)

My son...

"My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother." Proverbs 1:8

In his commentary on Proverbs entitled, Godly Advice for Young Adults, Dr. David Sorenson says, "It is...incumbent upon parents to instill discipline, obedience, and the principle of righteousness in their children at the earliest age."
