Today is the day :: Pray for the Marriage and Conscience Act

Today is the day the House Civil Law and Procedure committee will vote on HB 707, the Louisiana Marriage and Conscience Act.  The meeting began at 9 AM.  Please pray that they will vote in favor of it so that it can move on to the House of Reps for a vote.

In short, HB 707 is all about freedom -- religious freedom.  In light of the changing opinions in our society about things like homosexuality, gay marriage, and sexual orientation, people of faith are being left out in the cold.  In the name of non-discrimination, Christians all over the country are facing discrimination because of their deeply held moral and religious views.

HB 707 wold make sure that pastors, business owners, non-profits and Christian organizations are free to operate under biblical principles, even if the Supreme Court creates same-sex marriage in June.  HB 707 is not a sword to discriminate; it is a shield protecting religious liberty.
