They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. ~ Romans 1:25
We live in a culture where truth is relative. In fact, it seems that our culture bases truth upon the most popular opinion. Even something as small as a fashion trend is based upon a popular opinion portrayed as a truth.

Today, a bill was passed making gay marriage legal in all 50 states.
I wasn't going to comment on it.
I hate commenting about popular things.
It always starts trouble.
But I can't rest until I speak.
To some, today is a day of victory.
To others, today is a day of great defeat.
In my eyes, today is a day when our nation has placed a popular opinion as a "truth".
However, this does not change what truth is.

According to my beliefs, my God is truth.
According to my beliefs, my God is unchanging.
Therefore, according to my beliefs, truth is unchanging.
You may not agree with me.

In my eyes, today is another day where we live in a fallen world that has exchanged the truth of God for a lie.
In my eyes, today is another day where man says that they and they alone can rule their lives, apart from God.
Yes, today is a day where our government has instated an opinion as truth. Yes, it is big.
Yes, we should mourn and pour out our hearts for redemption for this land.
But did we do that yesterday?
Will we do it tomorrow?

I have friends who will be encouraged by this bill. Another step closer towards having their views excepted in the mainstream. Another step between having the right to decide their own choices, and, in essence, their own morality.
I love them. They are my friends.
My heart hurts for them, and yearns for truth to shine upon them.
However, I am fixing my eyes on the truth that is Christ.
My creator is forever praised.
"I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." - Luke 19:14
I cannot accept this opinion as truth. I will not accept this opinion as truth.
I will not worship a created thing rather than the creator.

I do not fear today.
I do not fear tomorrow.
I fear my God, with a holy reverence to his mighty power.
"Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them;
let all the neighboring lands
bring gifts to the One to be feared.
He breaks the spirit of rulers;
he is feared by the kings of the earth." - Psalm 76:11-12
