SCOTUS Legalizes Same-Sex Marriage in All 50 States

Conservatives say, “Government does not get to tell us what to do.” Over 50,000 clergy say, “We will not obey the U. S. Supreme Court and any federal court that crosses the line on the issue of marriage. A who’s who of religious leaders signed a pledge vowing civil disobedience. Some of the signees include former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former U. S. Senator Rick Santorum, National Religious Broadcasters president Jerry Johnson, Pastor John Hagee, Dr. James Dobson, and Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse. Read their pledge…… They believe America is facing a real Constitutional crisis with the Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage. The institution of marriage is fundamental and it must be defended. “Christians are being declared the lawbreakers when we are simply living by what we have always believed, and by a set of laws that the culture historically has agreed to,” Dr. James Dobson said. “There’s no doubt that LGBT activists are targeting Christian business owners.” Religious leaders across the nation agree, “We have no choice. We cannot compromise our clear biblical convictions, our religious convictions.

Christian leaders threaten civil disobedience if SCOTUS redefines marriage “We will not obey.” That’s the blunt warning a group of prominent religious leaders recently sent to the Supreme Court of the United States as they consider same-sex marriage. “We respectfully warn the Supreme Court not to cross that line. We stand united together in defense of marriage. Make no mistake about our resolve.” Read (and sign) the pledge….. Over 50,000 clergy sent a warning to the U. S. Supreme Court and any court that crosses the line on the issue of marriage. Their pledge appeared as a full page ad in the Washington Post. The signees are a who’s who of religious leaders including former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former U. S. Senator Rick Santorum, National Religious Broadcasters president Jerry Johnson, Pastor John Hagee, Dr. James Dobson, and Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse. They believe America is facing a real Constitutional crisis if the Supreme Court rules adversely from the biblical perspective on same-sex marriage. The institution of marriage is fundamental and it must be defended. “Christians are being declared the lawbreakers when we are simply living by what we have always believed, and by a set of laws that the culture historically has agreed to,” Dr. James Dobson said. “There’s no doubt that LGBT activists are targeting Christian business owners.” Religious leaders across the nation agree, “We have no choice. We cannot compromise our clear biblical convictions, our religious convictions.” To be clear – the men and women who courageously signed this pledge did so knowing the hell storm that could be unleashed on them – and their families. Once same-sex marriage is elevated to the level of protected status – it will transform the face of society and will result in the “beginning of the end of Western Civilization.”

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? – Psalm 11:3

The ethical standards of America undeniably need restoring. If men have no regard to laws and public decrees, which are the foundation of human society, but will boldly violate all known and standing rules of justice and truth; what can the righteous do?

At the nation’s capital for 30 years, our efforts to restore the nation’s foundation have been to establish a network of continual prayer across the country forming a Prayer Shield over America. We have influenced and supported public officials on Capitol Hill to create legislation for the purpose of protecting religious and individual freedoms for generations to come. Around the globe, the persecution of Christians is real. It is horrifically violent often and is spreading at an unprecedented rate in modern times. We provide public awareness and a voice in Washington, D.C. for these human rights violations as they happen.
