MP3 Audio - Moral Mugwumps
[Gary Petty] A mugwump – mugwump – is a curious animal. It's an animal that's able to walk a fence and keep it's mug on one side, and it's wump on the other. Actually, this term comes from a 1884 presidential election here in the United States, where there were some political leaders who would switch from one party to another and they were called "mugwumps". In our age of tolerance, we have to be very careful.
As Christians, are we becoming moral mugwumps, where we want to be seen as tolerant, we want to be seen as loving, and so we walk the fence so tight that we're really neither for or against something? You know, Jesus Christ said this in Matthew 19: "At the beginning, God made them male and female, and for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. What God had joined together, let not man separate" (Matthew:19:4-6 [4] And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
[5] And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
[6] Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.).
Jesus Christ said that marriage was designed by God to be between a man and a woman. It is a divine institution. And morally, if we're not going to be a moral mugwump, we have to stand up for that important truth. Christians can't let this one slide. We've let too many things slide in our country, and in doing so, we're losing blessings from God.
When it comes to marriage, we have to make that stand, that this is a divine institution. We cannot be moral mugwumps.
