These are only some of the common behavior traits and character issues which we have seen in our work with children who have parents who have decided not to follow God's plan for a marriage and for a family. Sexual partners who cannot commit to a traditional marriage produce kids with serious problems. (If you are interested in more of what we have learned about this issue, please read my book, entitled Front Line Observer.) We have seen the casualties of the war against the family, and now some in our government have chosen to inflict even more.

Now we have a leader in Washington who has claimed that the Defense of Marriage Act is somehow unconstitutional, and some in congress who are trying to overturn it. What God has designed and what human nature, human needs, and human history have confirmed is suddenly against our law? This leader has made many bad policy decisions, but this one cancels his right to be our leader. A chief law enforcer who tells his Justice Department to no longer defend our law which confirms marriage as a union between one man and one woman has forfeited his right to leadership and has no moral authority to tell anyone what to do. This decision may cause more damage to our nation and to our people than anything else has ever caused. This policy is consistent with the definition of a sociopath, and ignores reality and the will of the people. To give special rights, privileges, and status to some people, simply because they like to have perverted sex with members of the same gender, is immoral and dangerous beyond description. God loves everyone, and made laws for our protection and provision. He designed our bodies and emotions and knew that homosexuality was unnatural, unsafe, destructive, and perverted.

Here at the Mission Youth Center, we defend marriage and we demonstrate it. We are blessed to have committed married couples serving here. Showing true love and real marriage helps meet one of the greatest needs we can meet for the kids who come here, because almost all of them live with the pain of being from a “family” which has chosen some kind of “alternative lifestyle”. You can't defy God and the natural order He created without inflicting painful consequences and you cannot redefine marriage in order to pacify perversion without destroying people.
