Many of you ministers whom are backing gay marriage are offending God. What type of God do you think He is? Do you think He is just going to allow you to continue to pastor and mislead your congregations? Absolutely not. If you are backing gay marriage, you are in big trouble with God, because you are placing man above Him. It is such a shame many preachers in the black church are in their positions for other reasons than to win souls for God and when you win them, it means you are preaching complete holiness to get them delivered from sin, nothing else. Respectively, we would like many of you preachers in the black church to learn how to be strong men of God like Keith Ratliff, Riva Tims, Prophet Carn, Bishop Harry Jackson, and others. We do not have time to care more about how President Obama feels, we have to honor and respect how God feels, because He created us, not President Obama or anyone else. It is time to avoid focusing on civil rights issues and only focus on God's issues.
Do you see how Rev. Keith Ratliff is publicly standing up for what is right? Do you see how he is not afraid to oppose President Obama's support for same-sex marriage? It is God inside of this man's soul who has given him the courage and guiding him to be a true warrior for Christ. Many of these preachers in the black church are afraid to stand up for what is right, because obviously they are not living holy lives. Their personal lives are crossing over into the Devil's territory, so it means there is a great possibility they are living double lives. It is men like Rev. Keith Ratliff's we are suppose to follow, not men whom are letting go of God's expectations for his original plan for marriage between one man and one woman, just for recognition.

Ratliff, of Maple Street Missionary Baptist Church in Des Moines, has long opposed same-sex marriage.
"Marriage equality, for me, is between a man and a woman, period," he told the Register on Tuesday. "There is no other definition for me."
