Pastors Nationwide Called To Action Ahead Of Upcoming SCOTUS Ruling
With U.S. Supreme Court justices preparing to hear testimony later this month prior to deciding whether states have the authority to ban gay marriage, one group is calling on faith leaders to join an effort to preserve traditional marriage. The initiative includes instructing pastors to share the biblical view of marriage with their congregants before engaging in a time of prayer over the issue.
The American Renewal Project recently released its call to action, which has been extended to 100,000 pastors affiliated with the project. First, pastors are asked to dedicate their April 26 message to a discussion of biblical marriage. Two days later, as Supreme Court arguments are being made in D.C., the organization has asked pastors to set aside two hours for prayer services.
“This two hour window is not sermonizing,” an ARP press release stated, “but prayer, led by God’s shepherds” and without an emphasis on a big turnout.
“Jehovah is not interested in numbers,” the group explained, adding that “if it’s you and two others, then God will be honored.”
Parishioners unable to make it to church for the April 26 service, however, are encouraged to “stop where they are and pray” for “a miracle” regarding the status of marriage in America today.
The group recognized that, according to God’s word, the Supreme Court is not the ultimate arbiter of sin.
“America is on the verge of learning something that can be learned in no other way,” the statement continued, noting that “rebellion against God brings consequences” and that there is “no safety in distance from God.”
