SB no.1 - No Worries

I don't wanna deny people certain rights, but I don't want my rights to disagree denied either.

What may be the final voting on this movement is happening right now as I write. I have grasped a peace about it. Even if it does pass, which it probably will, being out of the voters' hands, we are gonna be okay. 

While American laws and values used to reflect Biblical law, more and more this is just no longer the case. This is our opportunity as Bible-believing Christians to practice what we preach, by living our lives not by worldly standards but by God's standards. Living by faith. Although it seems in vain that so many testified these last few days, the Bible reminds us that standing on God's Truth is never in vain. We do what we think Jesus would do and we trust the outcome is part of His plan, whatever it may be. My prayer is that the righteousness of His people will preserve Hawai'i, and even this country.

I don't doubt that one day every state will recognize same-sex marriage. It is the will of this worldly world. I say praise God that their definitions and laws don't change a letter of God's Truth. It may affect our jobs. It may affect our friendships. It may affect our schools. We'll have to make adjustments for sure. But it will not change our faith, unless we allow it to. Our hope is in Jesus, not people.
