LYNCHBURG, Va., June 26, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- Statement from Jonathan Falwell Regarding Today's Supreme Court Ruling on Gay Marriage:

"It is a sad day in our nation when the Supreme Court believes it has the moral right to redefine marriage. Beyond the clear Biblical mandate that marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman, this decision flies in the face of all of recorded history. The Bible clearly commands us to love others regardless of their spiritual or moral condition, but it does not leave room for us to change the definition of sin. For those in the faith community, this decision doesn't change what we do or how we do it. We will continue to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the only hope for the world. We will do this in a way that always reflects Christ's love, but we will not compromise our values or beliefs according to the Scriptures."
