According to news reports, Presbyterians are gathering this week to choose between two divergent paths. The one group seeks to change the churches’ definition of a marriage to a relationship between “two people”. The other group seeks to preserve the churches’ teachings that marriage is exactly like Almighty God declares it to be, between one man and one woman.

These things ought not to be so! How can these people claim to “know God” and defiantly proclaim false testimonies about what the Lord our God has ordained? This concept breaks four of the ten commandments and has severe consequences on the eternal lives of all those who participate in these transgressions.

Heavenly Father, You are the ONE True and Living God that created “man” in YOUR Image and Likeness. Genesis 1:26  Your Word states that out of man, You created “woman” to be a companion to man. These two created human beings male & female would have lived forever, had they only OBEYED YOUR WORD. They disobeyed and partook of what they “thought” was good and ignored Your Instructions. Their actions brought shame, doubts, fears, and even death into this world.

Lord Jesus, help us today to turn from our selfish ways. Establish in our minds and hearts Your Divine Law, Your Supernatural Ways, and let the Love of God determine ALL the decisions we make in our relationships with one another.  Amen and Amen!

The scriptural reference for Today’s Prayer Alert is  1John 2:3-11

Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His Commandments. He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His Commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His Word, truly the Love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the Word which you heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.  He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.  He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.  But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

Ladies and Gentlemen we cannot continue to call things “good” that are an abomination to God! The Lord our God sets before us a choice – His Way of living our lives or my way of living this life.

Whatever I DO today will have consequences for all of eternity. Good deeds will produce good fruit and wicked words and corrupt actions will produce bad fruit and ruin the harvest for my children and grandchildren. Everything I SAY and everything I SO will have resulting actions and influence on my spouse, my children, my grandchildren, my co-workers, and my brothers and sisters. We are the Family of God!    We must LOVE one another as He LOVES us.

Amen and Amen!
