More than 100 Christians leaders have signed a statement of support for the SBC resolution. Among them are Promise Keepers, Christian Coalition, Eagle Forum, the Assemblies of God, Presbyterian Church of America, Navigators, National Religious Broadcasters, Prison Fellowship, Crossway Books, Association of Vineyard Churches, Coral Ridge Ministries, and Focus on the Family. Campus Crusade for Christ has gone one step farther and adopted the SBC statement as their own. God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption.
Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime.
It is God's unique gift to reveal the union between Christ and His church, and to provide for the man and the woman in marriage the framework for intimate companionship, the channel for sexual expression according to biblical standards and the means for procreation of the human race. The husband and the wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God's image. The marriage relationship models the way God relates to His people. A husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. He has the God-given responsibility to provide for, to protect and to lead his family.
