This is a battle that I believe Born Again Believers must fight with everything they have. I am mad at the governors (but I understand nobody wants to be hated) for backing down to the hateful left. I still think business should be able to serve who they want regardless of race and religion etc ( I admit I do believe it is wrong not to serve someone say because of their color or religion but I still feel a business should have that right) but the train has already left that station with the civil rights laws of the 60's. But what is happening now is different in that the hateful left now wants those who hold deeply held Christian convictions to ignore them under the ruse of discrimination to accept behavior which is an abomination to God.
God calls homosexuality a
Abomination.
ABOMINATION: A thing or action that is vile, vicious or terrible.The word abomination comes from the word abominacion meaning "horror, repugnance, disgust." The word abomination can also be used to refer to a person or object you find utterly loathsome and repellent.
Homosexuality God reveals in his word is a universal moral prohibition that is considered by Him a abomination for all people.
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination Leviticus 20:13

I would much rather be judged by man and have man angry at me than my Lord. To be honest however I do not own a business so this is very easy for me to say and I respect those greatly who hold to their convictions! My heart goes out to them because of the hatred from the left they are enduring and they need our prayers.
How long before a Rabbi or Pastor will be jailed because they will not "marry" a same sex couple? This I believe will be next on the hateful lefts agenda.
Many Christian leaders have been silent on these issues for far to long and seem to be afraid to stand up for Gods Laws and mandates which have let the left win the arguments in essence without firing a shot. In what to me is a ironic twist is Christians have the power of the Holy Spirit on their side to guide them but many do not seem to use or forget about the power He gives to us.
As I John 4:4 states "But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people (those that hold the worlds viewpoint), because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world."
You know I am like the next guy. You get home and are bone dead tired from work and yet you need to put the rest of your available energy trying to keep your family together in a Godly, happy and healthy home. At the end of the day you are completely spent. You just don't have the energy to get in confrontations with people....... you just don't want to be bugged and just want to be left alone. But I know I need to do more to fight these people other wise there will be no one left to fight for me.
Sorry for the rant.
