‘Achieving homosexual marriage is merely a stepping stone to the complete deconstruction of the natural family…and the continued deconstruction of our civilization.’ –Sandy Rios

There are many who not only disagree with the premise of Ms. Rios’ article, but think she is the personification of evil for holding such a position.
In the face of Romans 1 and in the face of the historical record of the destruction of nations there are many who deny the reality of her premise: that the normalization of sexual perversion marks the destruction of a culture. We commend her for the courage to stand on the authority of Scripture in the face of such unbelief and enmity.
It’s as if America exists without a heritage that separates it from other nations. Our heritage in Biblical Christianity is disparaged and the self-revealed God and His Law are openly mocked. They are insolent and haters of God and without natural affection.
Many are deceived and many are already given over to their depravity and would remove the very foundation of Western culture. Would to God that many would rise up to join the fight. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of darkness. And our weapons are not carnal but mighty in the Spirit, casting down every thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.
The prophet Isaiah agrees with the premise. This nation has seen the glory of the Lord in His Law and Gospel, and now a new generation arises that would forsake the light and return to the darkness…
’the nation and kingdom which will not serve [Messiah] shall perish, and those nations shall be utterly ruined’ [Isaiah 60:12].
King David describes Messiah’s triumph and kingdom…
Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,
“Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
“Yet I have set My King
On My holy hill of Zion.”
“I will declare the decree:
The LORD has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’”
Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
Serve the LORD with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. [Psalm 2].
