Psalm 75:2-3:
2 When the proper time has come [for executing My judgments], I will judge uprightly [says the LORD]. 3 When the earth totters, and all the inhabitants of it, it is I Who will poise and keep steady its pillars. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
"When the earth totters...". Have you heard what happened when the latest earthquake hit Japan? Quoting Joel Rosenberg's Blog:
JAPAN: The situation in Japan is horrific and deteriorating. With multiple nuclear reactors in various stages of meltdown, Japan is bracing for a potential radiation catastrophe. Meanwhile, news reports say thousands of people are still missing after the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami, “millions short of power and water” and “fear [is] everywhere.” The quake, one of the worst in recorded history, “shifted Japan coast about 13 feet” and “knocked the Earth 6.5 inches off its axis,”
And he also had this concerning other recent history in the headlines:
Do you realize how very near is the Appearing of Jesus of Nazareth! The Word of God tells us that when these things BEGIN to come to pass, LOOK UP! Your REDEMPTION is drawing near! Buy up EVERY opportunity to tell as many people as you can about the HOPE that is within you!
In Romans 3:20 we find the purpose for the Law that was given to Moses:
20 For no person will be justified (made righteous, acquitted, and judged acceptable) in His sight by observing the works prescribed by the Law. For [the real function of] the Law is to make men recognize and be conscious of sin.
The purpose of the Law, which no man, only Jesus, could keep, is to show us that we are personal sinners. Personal sinners NEED a personal Saviour. Do we know One? JESUS! AMEN!

Leviticus reveals more of God's commands that reveal sin. Remember that Jesus said that He did NOT come into the world to do away with the Law, but to FULFILL it (Matthew 5:17)! The world can come up with all of the thoughts and ideas they want, but their thoughts and ideas DO NOT change God's Word! Leviticus 20:13 says:
13 If a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed an offense (something perverse, unnatural, abhorrent, and detestable); they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Leviticus 18:22 says:
22 You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination.
Romans 1:27 says:
27 And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for on another - men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.
It doesn't make any difference how many states vote to allow same-sex marriages, God DOES NOT! There is nothing wrong with men loving men or women loving women. David's heart was "knit" with Jonathan's! It is when the choice is made to get involved in a sexual manner that sin enters in! Do you see how the world has perverted God's Word! Stick to God's Word and you cannot fail! Listen to this song by Mercy Me called "Word of God Speak":
Shalom in Him!
