Webster Redefines Marriage
In
2003, the Merriam-Webster company, which has been publishing dictionaries since
1847, added a secondary definition for marriage, which included same sex
couples. Only this week did the change gain national attention. According to a
press release from Merriam-Webster, quoted by the Associated Press, "The edited entry
merely reflected the frequency with which the term 'same-sex marriage' had
popped up in print and become part of the general lexicon. Its inclusion was a
simple matter of providing dictionary users with accurate information about all
of the word's current uses."
The current definition of marriage found in the Merriam-Webster
dictionary is: (1): "The state of being united to a person of the opposite
sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized
by law (2):
the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like
that of a traditional marriage (same-sex marriage)."

Boykin. I did not want it to end - I wanted to build several tabernacles
like the disciples!". Those are the words of one of the five hundred men from thirty-three area churches who jammed into Largo Community Church March 28 for our Iron Sharpens Iron Conference.

Why Are These Things Happening?
Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1918 - 2008) was a great author, freedom fighter and Christian prophetic voice. His words below about his native Russia explain the alarming direction of western culture in the 21st century.
"Over
half a century ago, while I was still a child, I remember hearing a
number of older people offer the following explanation of the great
disasters that have befallen Russia. "Men have forgotten God. That's why it has all happened'.
And if I were called upon to identify the principal trait of the entire
twentieth century, I would be unable to find anything more precise and
more worthy than to repeat, men have forgotten God." |
