God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
1. The Will of God for Marriage Was Expressed in Creation: Jesus confirmed God’s will in creation when He said in Matthew 19:4-6, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” That’s the Bible’s teaching and the Bible’s assumption from cover to cover. Marriage is one woman and one man becoming one flesh by covenant and sexual union.
2. There Is No Such Thing as Homosexual Marriage in the Eyes of God: The other biblical reason marriage cannot be between two men or two women is that, on the one hand, the Bible defines homosexual behavior as “dishonorable” and “shameless” and “contrary to nature” (Romans 1:26-27), but on the other hand the Bible says that marriage is to be “held in honor” (Hebrews 13:4). Marriage does not produce shame. And marriage is not contrary to nature. There is therefore no such thing as homosexual marriage in the eyes of God. And there should not be in the eyes of his people – no matter what the state says.

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the yolk and
vanilla, then flour, salt and finely chopped almonds, mixing well. Shape
the dough into 2 rolls, each 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap rolls and
refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
With a sharp knife, cut the dough into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place 1 to 2
inches apart on baking sheets and bake 8-10 minutes, just until lightly
browned. Cool.
In the top of a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter for the
topping. Add the hot water and stir until smooth. Dip an edge of each
cookie into the chocolate and cool. Makes 8 dozen.
