Although Dutch Sheets Ministries has never endorsed a candidate or political party, I did issue a warning regarding the Supreme Court during the election of 2008. While I had concerns about both major party candidates, now-President Obama's stand on abortion and other moral and legal issues led me to believe his Supreme Court appointments could cause great damage. I warned, in fact, that the true spoils of the election, regardless of who won, would be the shaping of the Supreme Court for many years to come. Sadly, this has proven to be true. Though President Obama has done much personally to take the nation in directions I disagree with and mourn over, I believe what has just happened through the Court will prove to be the most destructive part of his legacy. We have just experienced this generation's "Roe vs. Wade."

In an article published by The Daily Signal, Canadian Dawn Stefanowicz gives us a shocking but eye-opening report of the true fallout, based on what occurred when Canada went down this path. Lance Wallnau of The Lance Learning Experience also points out clearly what is coming. I have placed a link to their statements at the end of this response. Both clearly explain the dire and terrifying consequences of this ruling—truly, America has entered a new era.[2, 3] (Photo: Reuters/via Charisma News)

But as disheartening as this ruling was, and as appropriate as it is to grieve, it does us no good at this point to vent and rage. The real questions are: "What happens now?" and "Where do we go from here?" As we ponder this, here are five thoughts to consider.

1) The Bible is still God's standard

A watered-down Gospel and a largely Bible-less Church have given way to a generation of Americans who believe there is no true standard for life and morality. Relativism (no absolutes) and humanism (self-rule, as opposed to God's) have taken over our nation, including much of the Church. When our nation embraced this philosophy, the Bible became merely a historical book of "suggestions," and the Constitution became nothing more than a historical document of old "ideas." Both became "outdated" sets of values, appropriate for generations past, but not relevant for today. Therefore, we needed to create our own guidelines, beliefs and boundaries, which, of course, would always need to be evolving.

The problem with all of this is that in reality, a changing standard is no standard. This has led to mooring-less chaos, unbridled sin, lawlessness, and rebellion. As occurred in Israel's early history, most Americans are now doing what is right in their own eyes (Judges 21:25). America is adrift in the devastating sea of self-desire, self-adulation and self-rule.

But the beauty and strength of absolute truth is that it will always be true—and relevant. One always knows what to expect when dealing with absolutes; boundaries never change, solutions always work. Like a strong foundation, truth can be trusted. Relativism, on the other hand, makes life one long experiment. True Christianity believes the truth and absolutes we need are found in God's Word, the Bible. And the Bible still teaches that marriage is between one man and one woman (Genesis 1:27-28; 2:21-24; Matthew 19:4-5). It also states that any form of sex outside of that relationship—adultery, heterosexual sex, homosexual sex, incest, bestiality, etc.—is sin. This is how the Scriptures have always read, how they will read 10,000 years from now, and for those of us with a Biblical worldview, this is what we will always believe. (For a great summary of Biblical passages related to the many facets of this decision, you may want to read the statement from Dallas Theological Seminary.)[4]

2) There is an all-out attempt by politicians, educators and others to change America from a Biblically based, Christian nation to a secular nation

The justices that voted to redefine marriage know the Constitution doesn't give them that right. Liberal government leaders know what the Constitution does and doesn't say, as do liberal educators. They also know what our nation's Founders actually believed about America's need for God and the Bible. The attempt to revise our history and distort the Constitution occurs simply because they don't agree with what the Founders believed and what the Bible teaches—their standards and ideals are different. Therefore, in order to create the America they want, the standards and guiding principles of the past must be revised and/or eradicated.

The Supreme Court justices who voted for same-sex marriage know this was not truly a constitutional ruling and that they are legislating from the bench. Indeed, Justice Roberts stated, "The majority's position [was] indefensible as a matter of constitutional law." And one need not be a legal scholar to see the logic of Justice Scalia's dissent: "When the 14th amendment was ratified in 1868, every state limited marriage to one man and one woman, and no one doubted the constitutionality of doing so." He continued, "They [the majority] have discovered in the 14th amendment a ‘fundamental right' overlooked by every person alive at the time of ratification, and almost everyone else in the time since."

The five justices who redefined marriage are not stupid. They are unwise, but not stupid. They know what the framers of the Constitution meant and what the 14th Amendment really means. They simply do not care. And they are bent on using their power to change America.

3) God will not be mocked (Galatians 6:7)

Psalm 2 speaks of rulings such as this one—natural rulers and unbelievers who rebel against God's governmental yoke, and against His Son. The warning is strong, even terrifying, describing His anger and the destruction He will bring to them. Verse number 10 is especially appropriate at this time: "Take warning, you judges of the earth." Indeed, there is a Highest Court presided over by "the Ancient of Days" (Daniel 7:9-11, 22). Whether they know it or not, every judge on the Supreme Court of America will one day bow before God (Philippians 2:10-11) and give an account for every ruling they make. And included in that accounting will be the fruit of those rulings, such as: aborted babies; His influence being removed from schools and public places, resulting in millions of young people not knowing Him and His ways; and the redefining of His marriage covenant, resulting in the breakdown of families, along with the devastating effect this will have on children.
