Protect the family

From the teaching of Esra Taft Benson it says "The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly. As a prophet reveals the truth, it divides the people. The honest in heart heed his words, but the unrighteous either ignore the prophet or fight him. … As we come close to the Lord’s second coming, you can expect that as the people of the world become more wicked, the prophet will be less popular with them. (p. 133)"
Traditional Christian beliefs and standers are under attack every day. It is becoming more and more politically incorrect to live and believe the gospel and the teachings of Jesus.
Several years ago the church came out with the proclamation to the world. How inspired this was. The family is now under full attack.
There is a plan to call the Same-Sex Civil Unions Bill (HB1826) for a vote during the fall veto session (which begins for the Illinois House this week). This is not something to be taken lightly, for we already have seen an instance of legislators caving into the same-sex lobby in the past. We can not know of all the consequences this might have, but God does. We must stand strong and protect the family.
