Much has been, and could be, written about yesterday’s SCOTUS rulings. I want to focus on just one small part.
But before we get to that, I want to urge everyone (and here I am preaching too to myself) to keep a cool head, bearing well the holy name we took on as Christ followers, remembering who bought us (if indeed you’ve been saved) at what price and who our Head is. God is Sovereign. His Christ reigns. He shed His blood for those whom He called and predestined. He laughs at the schemes of those who persistently rebel against His authority (e.g., see Psalm 2). Even so, the door remains open. He would graciously accept their repentance in faith, as he does ours.
As brother Michael Brown put it yesterday on his radio show, our enemies are not people. Please keep this in mind. Ours is a spiritual battle. We must fight with spiritual weapons.
Satan would destroy any and all of Adam’s race. The means by which he achieves a soul’s damnation are immaterial to him. The poison of sin has many flavors. He would destroy some with sexual sin. He would destroy others with arrogance. If he can provoke both, playing both ends of a worldly conflict off the middle, so to speak, then so much the better. Such set-up cage fights will be the main features of hell, the kingdom divided.
Another thing to keep in mind is that what we are seeing, in these rulings, and well beyond them, is as old as the serpent’s lie. They are the late-stage symptoms of the deadly disease wrought by that rebellion.
