A Very Expensive Bill

Tomorrow the United Kingdom government at Westminster will debate a Bill, which is intended to make same sex marriage legal in the UK. This should be a matter of deep concern for all Christians as our government has no right to tamper with an institution that is not of their making.


Marriage was created and ordained by God, at the very dawn of time, in the Garden of Eden. It was created between one man and one woman, it was Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve that good created for one another. Genesis is very clear.

‘So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.’ Genesis 1 v27

The Lord Jesus Christ Himself, the great head and Saviour of the Church reinforced this biblical pattern while on this earth. (Matt 19v4-6) There is no place in the Biblical pattern for a marriage between a man and a man or a woman and a woman. In fact such relations are roundly condemned by God’s Word and considered great wickedness (Gen 19v7) and an abomination (Lev 18v22). It is therefore a great wickedness and an abomination for the UK government to consider redefining marriage to accommodate homosexual practices. They have no right, nor, place to tamper with things that are not in their remit.

This is where it gets scary as far as I am concerned, for I believe if this Bill is passed into law it will prove to be ‘a very expensive bill’ indeed. You see when God created this world not only did he ordain marriage but He also put in place an unbending law, ‘The Law of the Harvest’.

‘Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.’ Galatians 6 v7

If you sow carrots, you reap carrots! If you sow wheat, you reap wheat! If you sow to the wind, you reap the whirlwind! If you sow sin, wickedness and abomination then you reap in kind. The United Kingdom will reap an awful harvest of judgement, as will those who are pushing this down the nations throat.

Please pray that God’s wisdom will yet be given to those, as yet, bent on folly. Pray that God’s Word will not be trampled over in parliament tomorrow and pray that in wrath He would remember mercy and that our nation would once again turn back to God.

‘Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.’ Proverbs 14 v34
