Christians: It's Time for Our Own Stonewall "Riot"

The homosexual hagiography
surrounding the Stonewall Inn in New York  City is well
known. President Obama made sure of its exalted status when he declared the location a national
landmark!

The inn served as a safe space for
people who identified as gay. Following another police raid on the inn, the
gays fought back, and started fighting for their rights.

Granted, there
were sudden police raids. Arbitrary police force is unacceptable.

And yes, every
human being has natural rights.

But
homosexuality is not a civil right–it’s a behavior.

And now, the riots
which exploded on June 28, 1968 have turned into an all-out war against
the rights and liberties of law-abiding Americans.

Apparently,
the bar was also a mafia hangout. Not sure there was a connection then, but it
would be hard not to draw the distinction today.

The “victims”
of 1969 have bred the victimizers. The men and women–Christians then who never
bothered anyone are now facing angry rants, raids, and rioting of embittered
LGBT activists.

In the United
States, over thirty states voted to uphold the definition of marriage as
between one man and one woman. A rogue Supreme Court struck down the legal
authority of the state legislatures and the people to impose a radical redefinition
of an institution which predates you and me and everyone else.

Here in
California, where eight years ago voters in the most Democratic stretches of
Los Angeles as well as the most ruby red Republican regions voted to define
natural marriage as a constitutional amendment, they have witnessed eight years
later the  complete shakedown of their rights.

One pastor in
San Francisco faced an angry mob of LGBT activists, who surrounded his church
and yelled inside: “We want your son.”

Christians
shouldn’t just sit by and wait for things to work their way back to normalcy.

Enough is
enough.

It’s time for
us to start swinging, to fight back, but not with our fists, but with faith,
with coordinated organization, with truth.

“For we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

Christians
were the first community organizers, after all!

Jesus brought
together twelve disciples, who in turn preached the word, and caused many
thousands more to believe–and still do today!

Consider how
the Early Church operated as one:

“And all that
believed were together, and had all things common;” (Acts 2:44)

We are one
body in Christ, for those who believe on the Name of Jesus.

There is no
reason for us to run in fear. There is no excuse for Christians who know the
Truth, who trust God for their salvation (here and now, as well as hereafter)
to retreat from this unnatural, evil onslaught.

I was talking
with another Christian, a strong lady who works with a well-connected, fearless
husband. Her reaction to what seems to be a growing feckless community of
Christians? Her reaction to the sudden juggernaut of homosexual marriage,
transgenderism, homosexual curricula in public schools, plus the unsettling
LGBT assault on individual liberties?

“It’s
embarrassing!”

We live in
California, and we have seen the next stage of the homosexual juggernaut–an
attempt to shut down every Christian college in the state and muzzle Christian
education for good. We beat back a large part of that agenda, but we cannot
claim victory yet.

What has
happened in California? All over the country, if not the world?

The Christians
have become like dumb sheep, refusing to speak out!

Indeed. How
many of us really believe the promises laid out for us in Isaiah?

“14In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be
far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not
come near thee.

“15Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall
gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake."

16Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals
in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have
created the waster to destroy.

“17No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and
every tongue that shall rise against thee in
judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of
the LORD, and their righteousness is of
me, saith the LORD.” (Isaiah 54: 14-17)

Do we believe
the certainty of victory offered to us through Christ Jesus today?

“37Nay, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him that loved us. 38For I am persuaded, that neither death,
nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor
things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other
creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8: 37-39)

How much
longer before we see men and women losing their lives, not just their
livelihood?!

If a rag-tag
group of homosexuals in 1969 could rally parades after a riot and a raid in New
York City, then surely Christians connected throughout every city in this
country, in the world can rise up and push back against this immoral, unsound
insanity.

Our kids
deserve better.

Our community
needs better.

Let’s fight
for what is right.

What better
way can I say it?

Christians,
it’s time for us to have our own Stonewall Riot.

Except we do
not have to destroy property.

We are not
parading for something that we should be ashamed of.

It’s time to
take to the streets. It’s time to declare our righteousness.

“Arise, shine;
for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.” (Isaiah
61:1)

It’s time for
us to believe that no matter what weapon they form (and there will be weapons
formed against us), they will not prosper!

He died for
us. He lives for us.

It’s time for
us to stand and resist this great evil!
