In a few days the Supreme Court of the United States will issue its long-anticipated ruling on the definition of marriage. Few seem to believe that the court will affirm traditional, historical, natural, biblical, authentic one-man-one-woman marriage. Many seem to believe that the court will, in fact, attempt to destroy the definition of marriage, from a biblical perspective.

There’s a “third way” that is advocated by such persons as Rob Schenck. He expects the court to attempt to do a “Solomonic split of the baby.”

Like Solomon’s “split,” which would have killed the baby, this attempt does the same. This odd ruling – should it occur – allegedly attempts to preserve some level of First Amendment rights (for pastors, but assumedly not for bakers and florists) while at the same time thoroughly devastating traditional one-man-one-woman marriage in America.

But my concern is less with prognosticating on what the court might do, but rather on the reaction of the Christian community to the presumed attempted destruction of marriage, specifically from its leaders. What should we expect?

It appears to me that there are some who suffer from “Tony Campolo Syndrome.” That is, they are on the verge of “stepping over” – coming out of the “one-man-one-woman marriage closet” – and a bit eager to embrace so-called same-sex “marriage.”

Why will several prominent Christian “leaders” do this? It will not be because they can biblically defend it. They cannot.

It will because – now how do I say this nicely? – they are cowardly. You see, it is now culturally chic – oh, so very cool – to affirm so called same-sex “marriage.” By doing so, one appears so “with it,” so “relevant.” And it make you appear – notice, only appear – to be so kind and grace giving.
