Today is not a day to hate and it's assuredly not a day to rejoice over new "freedoms." Today is a day that I mourn. I mourn over a nation that calls good evil and evil good. I mourn over our nation that the world looks to that now, once again, takes the lead in leading the world astray. I mourn for those who say, "This doesn't affect you so why do you care?" because this does effect me, as I live in a nation coming under increased judgment, and because this does effect me, as my heart aches watching people drink sand in the desert believing it will satisfy. I mourn that God puts blessing and cursing before us, telling us to choose, and we time and again choose curses. I mourn over humanity who continues reaching to find satisfaction outside of Jesus but will never find it because there is no soul-deep satisfaction apart from the One who created us. "There are many people outside the court today who are exuberant because they believe that what the court has done today will fulfill them and make them happy. Just like the woman at the well, who Jesus encountered, it won't do that." I mourn for the true meaning of marriage being lost in all this, Christ loving the church and the church submitting to Jesus. I mourn for pastors and church leaders who, even though many still naively laugh at the idea, will soon face compromise or prison on this issue. I mourn for many followers of Christ who are tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine because of a lack of knowledge of God's Word and God's Will. I mourn for all those who boldly say "Jesus loved all" but don't understand that Jesus' love also called them to leave their life of sin and died a brutal death for our rebellion. And I mourn for the American church that either sits silently while the world collapses or screams hate from the sidelines. Yet today I am reminded that the Supreme Court can't put Jesus back in the tomb. Jesus is alive. He's still ruling and reigning. And He's coming back. How I ache and long for that day. But until that day comes I will continue to speak Truth, proclaim the Way, and show true Life. Jesus is the only answer for all our brokenness. Today I feel it more than most others - the Spirit and your true BRIDE say, "COME LORD JESUS!" AMERICA HAS FALLING
