My thanks to Governor Linda Lingle

Postby Pastor Gary » July 6th, 2010, 11:35 pm

Today the Governor of Hawaii took a courageous stand by vetoing SB444, a bill that, if signed, would have essentially elevated same-sex relationships to the same legal status as traditional marriage.

Here's the text of her veto remarks: http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/97909114.html

Here are my thoughts: http://kahugary.posterous.com/lingles-veto-my-thoughts
"God is excited to show you mercy. He rises to give you His compassion." (Isaiah 30:18)

"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

PG, that was a very well put blog. We might see the government's role in marriage a bit differently. But, that was as sound of an explanation as I've seen anybody, anywhere offer up even if we do have a different basic assumption about the role of government. It makes practical sense, it is simple, and it explains truthfully the way we have organized our lives around certain principles.
Human government bears the same relation to hell as the church bears to heaven. (David Lipscomb, On Civil Government, 72).
