Why We’re Wedded to Traditional Marriage

John Stonestreet with the Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview has a new radio spot out explaining why Christians are “wedded” to traditional marriage.

In his one-minute recording, Stonestreet says,

“Waiting for Christians to back down on gay marriage? Don’t hold your breath…the [Christian] faith has been surprisingly consistent on sexuality. Christian opposition to homosexual acts is of a piece with a much broader vision of what it means to be a human being, and Christians will never completely part with that view.

“Marriage…is at the heart of the Christian story. Scripture begins with a wedding, the Church is called a bride, our God a groom, and history is consummated with a cosmic reception dinner. So backing down on marriage for Christians means backing down on the whole story, and that’s unlikely.”

You can listen to Stonestreet’s full commentary below.

Family Council Releases Summaries of Ballot Issues

capitol1_smWhen it comes of elections, candidates usually get most of the attention. However, besides picking their leaders, Arkansas voters also get to make their own laws via ballot issues.

Ballot issues are proposed laws and constitutional amendments that voters decide, collectively, to adopt or reject. In Arkansas, ballot issues can be referred to the people by the legislature or by a petition drive.

As of this writing, five ballot issues are slated to be voted on this November. To the best of our ability, we have summarized the proposed ballot issues to give voters as clear a picture as possible of what each proposal would do, if passed.

All printed copies of the Arkansas Voter’s Guide include a copy of these summaries (order your printed guides here or call our office at 501-375-7000). If you have any questions about the ballot issues or the summaries below, feel free to call our office at (501) 375-7000.
