Church Gay Pride Is Church Sin

It's LGBTQ+ pride month and the "celebration" has already resulted in major controversies in classrooms, on athletic playing fields and in major corporations. Sadly, many of these institutions are big businesses and they don't want to alienate the powerful "woke" left. It is heartening to see consumers pushing back at the increasingly aggressive LGBTQ+ agenda.

Harder to explain is the apparent surrender of some churches to the pro-homosexual agenda. Quite a few churches in the Washington, D.C., area are flying gay pride flags. Some of them are the same churches that would never hang an American flag outside or inside the sanctuary.

The Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City appears to have gone all in on LGBTQ+ demands. The historic cathedral, with a rich history, has bathed its entire sanctuary with the rainbow lights of gay pride. Virtually every day during the month of June, the cathedral will be hosting activities, celebrations, seminars and music, all promoting LGBTQ+ pride.

I would love to see a campaign to reclaim the rainbow as the symbol God meant it to be. In Genesis, we are told that God dealt with man's evil conduct with a flood that destroyed humanity, except for Noah and his family.

When the flood waters receded, God placed a rainbow in the sky as evidence of His promise to never use a flood again to destroy evil-doers.

The Book of Revelation, written by the Apostle John, describes in great detail how God will deal with sinful men in the future — by fire — preparing the way for Christ's return. This is the same John that the Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine is named after. Am I the only one to notice the irony?

The church is for sinners. Its doors are always open to the broken for whom Christ died. But the church should never embrace or celebrate the sin of men, no matter what that sin is. And expressing pride in those living in sin is as far from humble forgiveness and repentance as one can imagine.

Churches can and must look different in how they handle this. Our "bottom line" is God's Living Word — nothing more and nothing less.

Harris vs. Trump: What Each Candidate Wants Most for America

We are now in the closing argument phase of the presidential campaign. Candidates are presenting their most compelling cases for why still undecided voters should choose them. Donald Trump is outlining what his second term would look like. He is pushing • tax cuts for working and middle-class Americans, • a secure border, • ending inflation, • energy independence, and • protecting religious liberty and free speech.

Inspiration That Could Save America

There is always an October surprise in every election, and we may have just experienced it. More on that later. The presidential campaigns are deploying resources and crafting messages to clarify the choice before us. Former President Donald Trump spent half an hour as a McDonald’s employee, effectively turning it into “Donald’s” as he served Pennsylvania families burgers and fries. At a rally in the same state, steel workers gathered around him and gave him a hard hat, insisting that Trump saved the steel industry. Then Trump showed his support of the American people by attending an NFL game. The stadium erupted in chants of “USA! USA!”

To Be Salt and Light, We Must Be Involved in America's Elections

The polls are shifting again. The race is still a toss-up, but virtually every poll shows former President Donald Trump with the momentum. Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has adopted a new tone. It started with a joy, joy, joy vibe. Now, the emphasis is fear, fear, fear. Harris labels Trump “dangerous.” Her surrogates compare him to Hitler. After two serious assassination attempts on Trump, this rhetoric could inspire more violence. Please pray for the safety of Trump and Harris.
