It is clear that the first marriage was between Adam and Eve. Oh what a beauty that was as we see it from Scripture when Adam eventually exclaimed, “this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman for she was taken out of man.” Today we have so many Adams and Steves having their marriages officiated by Sons of the Devil. What makes a marriage by an Isaac and a Misheck so wrong? Is it just the fact that the marriage is between two males? This could be one reason among many. Another could be that it has never been God’s plan. Although there are many other reasons in opposition to this kind of union, the most threatening in this time and age is the attack it has on Jesus Christ.
When Paul is addressing the issue of responsibilities in Ephesians chapter five, he makes the matter very clear at the end of the chapter. Yes the wife must submit and likewise the husband must love. However, you notice he says to the husbands that they must love as Christ loved the Church. Later on at the end of the chapter Paul says, “This is a profound mystery but I am talking about Christ and the Church” Ephesians 5:32.
When two men decide to get married they are saying, “We do not agree with the headship of Christ over the Church. Look around the churches today. What do you see? Is Christ really the head? I am sure you know the answer to that.
The second thing they are saying is, “We are not ready to love as Christ loved the Church.” Those men, Pastors and Priests, officiating gay marriages together with the homosexuals are cowards. The gays are scared to love a woman. They would rather give their love to one who does not need it. We needed and still need the love of Christ because of our nature. In the same way the woman needs the man’s love because of her nature. Giving that love to another man is cowardice and selfishness. Jesus didn’t die for angels he died for sinful men. Men needed his love.
Thirdly, the homosexuals are saying, “we want to show you that Christ and the Church are not real. There is another way of worshiping God. It is not only through Christ.” This is the most dangerous act one can ever find himself in because missing the significance of Jesus is a leeway to hell.
So no one should say, “I am for Christ when he is pro homosexuality.” That would be a very big blue lie. If you are in a Church that is officiating gay marriages then you need to question the sincerity of your Church.
Finally, it may be that the gays and those who support it have never seen things this way. Here is the thing; Jesus is willing to forgive you of your sin. Repent and receive him as Savior. He will create in you a new heart then you too will begin to see things in a different way.
That God is glorified through the passionate love for Jesus Christ. Winning souls and changing lives.

Manchester United’s Sir Alex Ferguson Retires. What comes to mind?
Why would I be writing about this man? What significance
does he add to my life? The fact is that what Sir Fergie has achieved in his coaching
career cannot be overlooked. I love soccer and in my high school days I craved playing
in the Barclays Premier League but the LORD had other plans. When it comes to success in coaching an English
Premier League Club, no man has done it better than Ferguson. How should a
Christian look at such matters? What comes to mind as child of God? Before I
say what is on my mind let me give you some pointers as to what this man has
achieved. This is courtesy of BBC Sport.
“The Scot, 71, has won
38 trophies during his reign at Old Trafford … His haul includes 13 league
titles, two champions league crowns, five FA Cups and Four League cups…Ferguson
is the most successful manager in the history of the British game and famously won
a treble in 1999” BBC Sport.
Some of the other
trophies include 1 cup winners cup, 1 Fifa club world cup, 1 Uefa super cup, 1
inter-continental Cup and 10 charity shield Cups.
Notice that I am talking about an individual not a club. It
is during his reign as manger that Manchester where able to get all these
trophies. Surely, his career has been successful. Many have already stated that
it will be difficult and almost impossible to outdo his achievement.

So then, what is it that comes to mind? It is the question
which we must ask every so called successful person. This question is found
in Mark 8:36-37 and it says, “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world
and yet lose his own soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul?” Yes,
Sir Fergie has retired with “great success.” No doubt about it. But it is
possible that he may die and go to hell if he is without Christ. It breaks my heart when I think about this.
Not only for Ferguson but for many other so called successful men and women who are
without Christ.
What shall we say then? Shall we continue to pursue success
when our souls are in danger of experiencing the wrath of God in hell?
Certainly not! God forbid! What should you do then? You must run to Jesus
pleading for your sins to be forgiven and make peace with God. The Christian
must be so eager to take the gospel to the lost that such men (Ferguson, Obama,
Usain Bolt, Lionel Messi, Christiano Ronaldo, Bill Gates etc) can hear it.
One famous preacher once said, “If sinners will be damned,
at least let them leap to hell over our bodies; and if they will perish, let
them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay… If hell
must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions and let
no one go there unwarned or unsprayed for” C.H.Spurgeon. For “How shall they
call on him of whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him
of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone
preaching?” Romans 10:14.
If you are reading this and you are still living in your sins please think about the destiny of your own soul. Plead for mercy from God. Let him wash your sins so that your soul can be assured of a secure destiny. Amen.
