Yes, if your word is in the context of the gospel, calling people to repent from sins, that would be great. Whenever you preach the gospel there is a call to repentance, there is also a path for that repentance, the way of salvation, and the good news of the kingdom of God.
The US is not the kingdom of God. Passing laws is not the way of salvation. What works is a new heart.
You are trying to complain about the Supreme court, laws of this land and then somehow tie this into the preaching of the gospel. You have confused "legalism" with Evangelism.

ZNPaaneah, in preaching the gospel how can we tell someone to repent of something they do not know is wrong? We must tell them what is right and what is wrong, so they know what they are repenting of. I can imagine you preaching the gospel to a homosexual couple, and asking them to repent, Jesus loves them. Then they will ask you, repent of what? And you will not tell them that homosexuality is wrong, because it is not your place to do so. So your gospel preaching will be in vain.
I believe it is you who have misrepresented what I said, and then you claim I do the same. As an example of how you have changed what I have said, my posts have not been about the laws of the land or the Supreme court but concerning the statistics that "Protestants (62%) now favor allowing gays and lesbians to wed", which is related to the topic of degraded Christianity. If you look through my previous posts you will see they are focused on the topic of the church, not the laws of the land. If Protestants were not degraded, then that statistic should say "0% favor allowing gays and lesbians to wed". Regardless of what the laws of the land or Supreme court say, it is that a majority of Protestants support gay marriage which demonstrates their degradation.
