Here is live response from Lou Engle and IHOP in KC. I thought this would be a good follow up to the heart of those that were involved in this. It may answers some questions that the media hyped up.

Proposition 8
The more I watch on this the more the scripture becomes apparent to me. It comes to me on two levels. First that of persecution. Are you noticing the level of persecution on the church as it begins to raise it voice and stand on its Word. The voice of the world stands in opposition of the things of God. The more that they try and state that it will be civil dispute the less I am seeing it. It is not because people don't desire to be civil its what stands behind there cause that drives them.
Luke 21:16-18
"You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish"
The second part that stand out fits right into the first part; The spiritual battle.
Ephesians 6:12
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms"
Our physical nature stares at the response of what is coming against us and tries to react out of emotion but our spiritual man when it is aware responds out of the heart of God. The spirit calls up legions of angels at its beckoning. What I see in this article and video is the response of an enemy with an agenda that is immoral and against God. That is truth. I am sure some may see that as harsh but the scriptures have been more than clear about homosexuality being sin. God's motive for calling it sin is not to destroy us a human beings but to steer us to life and freedom that comes through purity.
Here is the article that brought forth this thought this morning.. i would love to hear your thoughts but please dont spew hate!
