UK Judge Resigns after Reprimand.

“A senior High Court judge is stepping down after being reprimanded by the Lord Chief Justice and Lord Chancellor for speaking out on the problems of marriage breakdown” (The Times, December 18, 2013). Last December, the judge, Sir Paul Coleridge, wrote an article that criticized “the Government’s plans to allow gay marriage and accused ministers of wasting effort on an issue that affects ‘0.1 per cent’ of the population. Instead, ministers should focus on supporting married couples, he said” (ibid.). Sir Paul’s comments were said to be “incompatible with his judicial responsibilities and therefore amounts to judicial misconduct” (ibid.). As modern societies permit and promote any kind of behavior, even leaders and judges are condemned for defending traditional values.

Bible prophecies have long foretold of this moral decay, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness… bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20). The Apostle Paul warned, “in the last days… men will be… despisers of good…  lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God” (2 Timothy 3:1-5). Tragically, these ungodly actions are becoming more commonplace as societies reject values that have been the foundation of Western civilization for thousands of years.
