Portsmouth Ohio Mayor under attack for his support of Biblical marriage
Whether you want to believe it or not the Biblical definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman is under a great attack. It is no longer just a radical or fringe group of homosexuals that are trying to re-establish the definition of marriage, but now it is coming from the mayors of cities throughout the United States.
“As mayors of great American cities, we proudly stand together in support of the freedom of same-sex couples to marry. We personally know many gay and lesbian people living in our cities who are in committed, loving relationships, who are active participants in the civic life of our communities, and who deserve to be able to marry the person with whom they share their life.”
This is an excerpt from the “Mayors for the Freedom to Marry” statement, a pledge that many mayors are signing. So far the list of Ohio mayors that have signed it are as follows: David Berger, (Lima), Sara Drew (Stow), Frank Jackson (Cleveland), Edward Kelly (Cleveland Heights), Mark Mallory (Cincinnati), Gary Norton (East Cleveland), David Plusquellic (Akron) and Mike Summers (Lakewood). Michael Coleman (Columbus) is the most recent one to join.
The Portsmouth, Ohio mayor was recently asked to sign this pledge. I was glad to hear Mayor Malone’s response in the Portsmouth Daily Times to City Councilman Johnson’s request:
“Being that I am a minister of the Gospel and the BIBLE emphatically forbids such, there is absolutely no way that I will support this. Although this is your preferred lifestyle, I have the utmost respect for you as a person and the things you do for the city, I cannot support what God calls an abomination.”
I am encouraged that at least one mayor in Ohio has the spiritual backbone to stand up against this latest attack on the sanctity of marriage. The Mayor’s response has drawn fire from Councilman Johnson of course and I’m sure more attacks will come. Citizens of Portsmouth and Scioto County please join me and give Mayor David Malone a special thanks for not signing this pledge and for defending marriage as a union between one man and one woman. Call his office, send him an email or stop by and personally thank him!

Ohio’s Marriage Amendment of 2004 will soon be under attack. Continue to pray for our state and nation’s leaders that they will do what is right in God’s eyes and not their own.

Evolutionary Influence in a Knife Store?
As my son and I were visiting the Smoky Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville, Tn. this weekend, we encountered a subtle example of evolutionary influence (see pictures below). It was just another reminder for me that I must always be on my guard against the evolutionary indoctrination of our culture and be prepared to give the correct Biblical interpretation of the evidence to my family.
