No to that.

There is a bunch of talking today. People talking about what our rights should be, how we should define marriage, how people should be treated. Equality.

I don't support gay marriage, I'm not one of those people. I'm black and white. Just because I don't support gay marriage, doesn't make me judgmental, it doesn't make me a closed minded ignorant Christian. I'm not.

I love people. I do. Of all shapes and sizes and beliefs. I love you. And I wish nothing less for you than your best life.

That's right I want you to have the best life.

I happen to know your best life is a life lived in pursuit of a Holy God. So I want that for you,and while I want you to feel loved I can not say I am for gay marriage because it is affirming a lifestyle that is apart from God.


& that's where my heart really is guys, that's why I wish the media would STOP, that people's eyes would be opened, that their hearts would know true love from the only one place it flows freely, in front of the throne of God.

My heart aches for anyone who is living their life apart from The Lord, in any style, any sin. I sin too, mine is not prettier than yours. The only difference might be, I don't want it, I know it is sin, I know it separates me from a God who is completely in love with me... And I am so head over heels for Him I can't put that between us.

So no, I don't believe in gay marriage, but its not because I don't value you as a person or think you deserve a FULL life. It's because I do. & I am not willing to be one more person affirming a life choice that puts space between yourself and a God who loves you more than you can and will comprehend on this earth. It pains Him to be apart from you.

My heart aches because I know His aches to be near you. It's not really about equality but that is a nice fancy spin the world has put on it. It is about being affirmed in a life of sin that separates you from your Creator.

In the words of one of my favorite people...

I love you, but you're wrong.
