My friend John Stemberger's efforts to save marriage is closing in on
an important milestone. They are only 13,000 ballots away from the
required 611,000+ needed to put a marriage ammendment on the ballot for
the 2008 elections.
The amendment would change Florida's
constitution to define marriage as a union between one man and one
woman, so that marriage cannot be defined in ways that the Bible
forbids, and so that marriages and families can be protected by state
law.
If you are a Florida resident and have not signed a ballot, please go to
www.Florida4Marriage.org
and find out what you can do to help these last minute efforts to get
the ballot past. Remarkably, the entire campaign has been
volunteer-based, and is drawing very close to its goal. Go to the
website and find out what you can do to help.
Rebekah and I,
soon after our wedding, had the privilege of standing with John
Stemberger on the stage at his press conference announcing the
initiative in our wedding attire, as a picture of the Bible's vision of
marriage, and the way it represents the union between Christ and the
church. What a worthy image to preserve.
