It looks like the Mighty God has had mercy on the state of Maryland by not allowing their legislators to redefine marriage (Proverbs 21:1).  The God of the Bible created marriage (Genesis 2:18-25).  Only the God the of the Bible defines what He created.  The Triune God has defined marriage as one woman and one man in Biblical marriage for life (Matthew 19:5).  "To avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband (1 Cor. 7:2).  Let's continue to pray that King Jesus has mercy on His Church by raising up legislators, judges, governors, pastors and teachers who fear God more than man (Acts 5:29).

ANNAPOLIS, Maryland — The speaker of Maryland's House vowed that Democrats would try again next year to pass legislation legalizing homosexual marriage, but the intense lobbying by faith groups against the measure in recent weeks shows that it won't be easy, even in a state known for its liberal politics.

A loose coalition of Democratic legislators failed to cobble together enough votes to overcome opposition from Republicans and religious groups, including the Catholic church and many black congregations, to make Maryland the sixth U.S. state to legalize homosexual marriage.
