The Abolition of Marriage in America


Cass SunsteinObama's Regulatory Czar: Cass Sunstein... This is the man in the high place of government over our societal laws:

In his book, Sunstein strongly urged that the U.S. government abolish its sanctioning of marriage. Sunstein proposed the concept of marriage become privatized.

Sunstein explained marriage licensing is unnecessary, pointing out people stay committed to organizations like country clubs and homeowner associations without any government interference and that they should be able to enter in and out of marriage with the same ease...

"Under our proposal, the word marriage would no longer appear in any laws, and marriage licenses would no longer be offered or recognized by any level of government," wrote Sunstein.

He proposed marriage not be recognized by the government. Marriages would instead be "strictly private matters, performed by religious and other private organizations," he wrote.

Sunstein slammed current government recognition of marriage as "an official license scheme."

"People take their private commitments serious," Sunstein wrote. "Members of religious organizations, homeowners' associations, and country clubs all feel bound, sometimes quite strongly, by the structures and rules of such organizations."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry..." - 1 Timothy 4:1-3

Call a fast!

Revival in Every Neighborhood

It is no secret that America needs a move of God. The beauty of a local church movement is to see change happen not just on a city level, but from neighborhood to neighborhood and street to street. Street by street we want to see houses and families changed with the love of God. We long to see a young generation return to God. Right now for the church as a whole, the frontline of this battle exists in local church youth groups. The problem is that even though we have outstanding youth groups, they still only reach a fraction of the total percentage of the young generation.

Dream with me. We need revival in every neighborhood, but only a small percentage of the kids in each neighborhood actually attend church, much less youth group. How do we reach them? Where does this generation spend the majority of their time???

Public school.

Now think about this in terms of a movement. Public schools are in every neighborhood of America, thanks to our nation's education system. Students who attend from 8 AM - 3 PM each day spend a total of 35 hours a week in the school building... ALL of them. Not just 25-40% of them. If you want to see change hit this generation, we need to get outside our own doors and to the students.

There is a system already in place in every neighborhood of our nation that systematically gathers all of the students by age into 1 location for the majority of their day... When I see kids walking into public school by the hundreds and even by the thousands, I see kids walking into revival centers. What if the public schools of America were ambushed by God? What if each morning when a student woke up, they went to a school where they felt God. What if the salvation rate of students enrolled in public school was 75%. Thats a huge majority of everyone in that neighborhood, and that's transformation. Why not?

Laws, you say. No. The Supreme Court of America outlawed prayer led by staff but not prayer led by students. We need to mobilize public school ministries that happen on campus to reach their student bodies. More than anything, we need to mobilize a generation to student-led prayer on campus, and from that place launch the greatest evangelism movement in the history of the church.

This is what I dream of : )

Kevin Jennings - Obama's Safe Schools Czar

The man in charge of helping formulate policies for US public schools:

"Before, I was the one who was failing God; now I decided He was the one who had failed me.I decided I had done nothing wrong: He had, by promising to 'set you free' and never delivering on His promise. What had He done for me, other than make me feel shame and guilt? Squat. Screw you, buddy - I don't need you around anymore, I decided."

- Jennings' book called "Mama's Boy, Preacher's Son: A Memoir," published in 2006 by Beacon Press.

Jennings' profile: very anti-Christian and very pro-homosexual agenda in schools.
Founded the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and had the group laughing by telling them he really wanted to say, "f*** you!" to conservative-minded Christians.

Telling the story of his conversation with one of his students:

"I said, 'What were you doing in Boston on a school night, Brewster?' He got very quiet, and he finally looked at me and said, 'Well I met someone in the bus station bathroom and I went home with him,'" Jennings recounted. "High school sophomore, 15 years old … I looked at Brewster and said, 'You know, I hope you knew to use a condom.’ He said to me something I will never forget, He said ‘Why should I, my life isn’t worth saving anyway.’'"

Pray for this man.
