Why Christians are losing the marriage fight.

Do you know what I hated about being a Southern Baptist as a teenager? I was always against something. Much like the Pharisees, we were always saying don't, but hardly ever saying do.

Christians are becoming more known for what they're against, than what they're for. As a Bible-believing follower of Jesus, I hold to the view of scripture when it comes to marriage. But for me, this isn't just about whether men marry men. It's concerns a more fundamental breakdown of marriage.

When polled, the U.S. population in general estimates the homosexual community to comprise 25% of the U.S. population. The real number is just under 3%. So even if homosexual marriage becomes the norm across the country, an opportunity taken by a fraction of 3% won't be the death blow for marriage.

Marriage is dying because we are raving against homosexual marriage, but not advocating for heterosexual marriage. People across this country are bailing on promises to the "love of their life" and setting a precedent that affects children's views of marriage for the rest of their lives. Of course Millennials aren't getting concerned with marriage commitments. It didn't mean much for their moms and dads. 

So as Christians, let's take a stand for marriage! Encourage hurting families in your church. Talk to that friend that you can see is teetering on an affair. Unless once again the vows of marriage truly mean something, our nation as a whole will never care who makes them.
