The Civil Rights movement in America owes it’s success largely to the black church. Even secular historians acknowledge that. The church was the engine that powered the movement — not just through under-girding logistics but by encouraging members to remain steadfast in the faith in the face of evil. Listen as this coalition of black pastors reject Barak Obama’s stance on same-sex marriage, and the hideous comparison of the gay rights movement to the Civil Rights movement in America.

Excellent!
The issue of same sex marriage is spiritual. To attempt to classify the matter as merely political, philosophical, social, ethical, even moral, is to miss the point entirely.
Humanity is not self-created, nor evolved from lower life forms, but was designed and formed by the almighty Lord God, who created all things that exist, according to His own good pleasure and perfect will. As its sole Architect and Builder, God is the Holder of all patents and copyrights and is mankind’s sole Proprietor. He alone is able to authoritatively state man’s purpose and destiny, which He has aptly and amply done in the Holy Scriptures commonly known as the Bible. This document is the one reliable guide into all truth, which it reveals in the person of Jesus Christ. This Bible declares marriage as being between one man and one woman, thereby illustrating the relationship between Christ and His Church.
Regardless what the world may say about them, such men as take a public stand to obey God’s word in the face of any and all opposition, even from the highest levels of government, are to be applauded and respected, and are worthy of our prayers and support.
Thank you so much for posting this important video Christina. Praise God for these Christian leaders who are willing to unite to speak out on this issue.
