After giving those who have died for our freedom one “memorial” day, our country will now devote an entire month to “Pride Month” for the LGBTQ+ agenda.
Pride parades will be held in most major cities, exposing children to rank debauchery. Companies will demonstrate their support by incorporating the rainbow into their corporate logos. Some like Target and Kohl’s will even promote pride clothing to infants and toddlers. Television and media outlets will feature homosexual films, actors, and interviews all month long as they deceivingly promote sinful behavior as a celebration.
For thirty days our nation will be saturated with the LGBTQ+ agenda, as they further desensitize our children and push tolerance and diversity.
At the same time, Christians who oppose this “celebration” will be cast as hate-mongers. We will be called unloving, intolerant, homophobes, or bigots. Emotional and passionate arguments will be made as LGBTQ+ activists try to recruit more supporters for their cause.
No, this is not a celebration of love. It’s a celebration of debauchery, sodomy, and sin.
Some Christians have suggested we join hands with this movement as a demonstration of Christian love. They believe that if we are more sensitive to this cause—demonstrating a spirit of unity and love—that maybe we can influence the lost to Christ. However, Christians should strongly consider what the Bible actually says about pride before we blindly accept and embrace this pagan celebration.
Consider the following Scriptures that God-breathed:
• Proverbs 6:16-17, “These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,…”
• Psalm 10:4, “The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.”
• Proverbs 16:5, “Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished.”
• Proverbs 11:2, “When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom.”
• Proverbs 16:18-19, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.“
• James 4:6, “But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: ‘God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
• Proverbs 29:2, “A man’s pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor.”
Pride is not something to celebrate. It’s an abomination to God—something He hates. Christians, if we really care and love the lost in this world, then we will teach them the Truth—a Truth that will ultimately set them free from all that ensnares them. John wrote, “For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world” (1 John 2:16).
I encourage everyone to stop supporting “pride month” and stop trying to please the world, but instead seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness! Help those around us to see what is truly pleasing to God.
