“Really, the debate raging in many churches about gay “marriage” is no different from the creation/evolution issue. It’s an issue of authority. Who will be your authority? Will you allow God and his perfect Word to be your authority, or will you lift your own opinions (or the opinions of our culture) over God’s Word, making yourself the authority? Ultimately the battle isn’t about marriage, abortion, evolution, racism, or the age of the earth—it’s about authority. Those in the church who are embracing gay “marriage” (as well as evolution and millions of years) only do so because Scripture sadly is not their final authority.”
