Pastors Encouraged to Hold Prayer Service During Supreme Court Gay Marriage Case
CBN News
The Brody File has learned that the American Renewal Project, headed up by influential Christian political operative David Lane, sent an email newsletter today to more than 100,000 evangelical pastors encouraging them to hold prayer services during the two-hour time frame on April 28 when the Supreme Court hears the crucial same-sex marriage case.
The Supreme Court will decide whether the Constitution allows homosexual couples the right to marry no matter where they reside or whether states have the right to say marriage is only between a man and a woman.
Lane also is calling on these pastors to preach on the topic of biblical marriage on the Sunday before the big Supreme Court case.
Read part of the email message David Lane sent to the pastors below:
This two-hour window will focus on prayer. We intend to cry for mercy for what we, Believers, have allowed to happen to our nation, that was established "For the Glory of God and the advancements of the Christian faith." (The Mayflower Compact).
America has become drugged by the cup of Secularism -- a false and wicked religion -- articulated in the Humanist Manifesto, a creed that denied supernatural revelation, and so the revelation of God in Jesus Christ. The "religion" -- as it was called in the Humanist Manifesto (1933) -- was imposed by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1963, an 8-1 decision, in Abington School District v. Schempp. Lone dissenting Justice Potter Stewart prophesied, "...[the decision to remove the Bible from public schools] led not to true neutrality with respect to religion, but to the establishment of a religion of secularism."
That proud and tragic decision has given birth to a complete moral breakdown in America, those doing this to our country must be held accountable. The wise Solomon says, "Where there is no revelation the people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom's instruction." (Proverbs 29:10) America's Founders laid the foundation on biblical virtue, His Word. Udo W. Middleman, president of the Francis A. Schaeffer Foundation says, "He has told us in his Word how we should live and order our lives, set our priorities, and what sense to make of being human." A Christian nation once, America is now ruled by an oligarchy, a majority of nine, representing, "Vice stalking in virtue's garb."
God defines sin, not the U.S. Supreme Court. Having removed the fixed point in order to judge in 1963, the esteemed Justices, in hubris, decided to challenge God's rule, God's throne, and God's rightful Honor. America is on the verge of learning something that can be learned in no other way, rebellion against God brings consequences. There is no safety in distance from God.
Why are not the churches of America filled with prayer services, led by senior pastors, asking God for mercy of what we have allowed to a once Christian nation? Who will, by faith, help America's pastors track down the weapons of warfare? Prayer and tears are the Christians weapons of war, very little cannonading and bombardment appears to be occurring in America's sanctuaries today.
- REQUEST -
We are asking the 100K American Renewal Project pastors to lead prayer services on Tuesday, April 28, 11:30AM-1:30PM, in your sanctuaries. This two hour window is not sermonizing, but prayer, led by God's shepherds; Jehovah is not interested in numbers, if it's you and two others, then God will be honored. We intend to cry for mercy for what we, Believers, have allowed to nation established by our Founders on a spiritual mission, "For the Glory of God and the advancements of the Christian faith." (The Mayflower Compact)
We need Gideon's to stand, and lead prayer services, Tuesday, April 28th, 11:30AM-1:30PM. For those of the flock who cannot attend the prayer service led by the shepherd, please ask that they stop where they are and pray; we need a miracle.

Before all the Christian haters start to hate, let me explain a few things.
First of all, remember liberals that you are the tolerant ones, right? So you should be tolerant of the viewpoint stated above. If you feel anger and hatred toward what David Lane wrote, then before you start hating on social media and other places, you may want to read a book on hypocrisy.
Why? It’s simple. You can’t be tolerant of just liberal views. You have to be tolerant of views you disagree with. Tolerance is acceptance but you see, you don’t want to accept the viewpoint that David Lane articulates above (he’s just stating biblical truth). If you accepted it and didn’t hate, then you would be tolerant. But you don’t. Therefore, a book on hypocrisy is well worth the read and time invested.
Secondly, let's be honest, okay? You think what Lane wrote above is probably hate speech. It’s not that at all. It’s a sobering assessment of what ails America. You might not agree with that assessment but that doesn’t make it hate speech.
And speaking of hate speech, you also know something that you probably don’t want to share in public…at least for now. And that is the following: I’m sure you believe that if a message like that was preached from the pulpit, you would like to see that pastor cited for a hate crime.
Be honest. Unfortunately, that’s where we are headed in today’s culture and that’s why evangelicals better start fighting starting today.
