I now pronounce you: man and man, woman and woman?

Bishop Chane of the Diocese of Washington, DC has announced that clergy under his oversight may not perform same-sex weddings as reported here.

According to the Bishop, "Through the grace of Holy Baptism, there are no second class members of the Body of Christ, " Chane said in a statement. "We are of equal value in the eyes of God, and any one of us may be called by the Holy Spirit into holy relationships as well as Holy Orders."

Golly Bishop, if you take a walk through the Bible you will notice a couple of things worth pondering: first, all mankind is fallen, we are all sinners. Throughout Holy Scripture we are called to confess our sins and ask God's forgiveness. Homosexual activity (not homosexual persons) is a sin and one that God particularly calls out as an abomination. Nowhere in the Bible does God bless sin.

So Bishop, if you believe in the authority of Holy Scripture (you do don't you?), you need to retract your announcement, confess your sins, and ask for God's forgiveness. If you are unsure how to do this, email me.

Sodom and Gomorrah in Texas

Houston took a giant step to the liberal left with the election of an openly Lesbian mayor in its recent mayoral race.

But now, to show that everything is "bigger and better in Texas", Houston is going to take another serious step to the left with the opening of the biggest abortion clinic in the country. The developer of the clinic, Planned Parenthood, fairly gushed about the 78,000 square foot facility's new surgical wing which will be able to perform late term aborptions.

In the Bible, Sodom and Gomarrah were destroyed by God because of their unrepentant immorality. In everyday language, Sodom and Gomorrah have been used as metaphors for vice and sexual deviation. Houston, Texas has placed itself front and center as a place of notable sexual deviation and vice.

The Bible in particular has some pretty harsh things to say about those who harm the most innocent of humanity. What step will Houston take next?
