I have a short, true story to tell you:
I've been delivering food this summer to high risk families on Tuesday evenings. I've been delivering this food with a black gentleman who's an army veteran, an Army Ranger actually. I have a lot of respect for this man both for that reason, and the fact that he's had to put up with the sin of racism all of his life in one way or another. Yet, he hasn't let it define him.
I had to take a bit of an absence from delivering food because I had to work the last few weeks. He thought he had done something to me which he hadn't of course. It never crossed my mind that he would think that. He told me tonight I was fun to work with because he honestly thought I wouldn't want to ride with him because that's been his experience. The next time you don't think racism affects somebody or that it doesn't exist, think again. It is one of the most vial, detestable things on this planet. It has no place in the Kingdom and is about as far from the Spirit of Jesus as you can get. It is a poison of the heart.
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23

My friend told me the other day all things will be shaken. I believe that. I also believe we haven't even seen the beginning yet.

I've held off and watched. Now it is time to speak. The house passed a bill to codify gay marriage. For whatever reason, and there may be many in their eyes, they felt that issue was at stake. Justice Thomas's opinion probably didn't help after SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade. That's another discussion for another time.
What this means for Christians:
1) First and foremost, King Jesus didn't fall off His throne because the US House of Representatives passed a bill. He's not affected nor changed by what they do nor by midterm elections and the virtue signaling from either side.
2) The world is going to world. I don't expect anything different.
3) We get to be grace, love, and truth to people, no matter who they married. That's it, that's the requirement.

Jesus said, "go into the world and preach My gospel (the Good News) and make disciples." - Mark 16:15
He did not say, *"Enforce Christianity (or any other religion for that matter) on people by political process." In other words, He was no fan of state-run religion nor does it accomplish His purposes. Such things are actually about control and fear - not love, grace, or truth.
*This has failed everytime it has been attempted. Look at history. It will fail again and leave many hurt people in its wake -both those who want control and the those they exacted control upon. If it has not failed, it has produced states like Iran, Russia, and China - oppressors and fools alike.
Do not be deceived. Abandon such folly.
I will leave you with Paul's words from Ephesians 6:12 TPT:
"Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world (and this nation) in bondage." (Parenthesis added by me)
But not for long.
