During this “pride” month that celebrates sexual immorality and leads our young people to accept and adopt the same, I felt led to share important words from the Bible.
First is the nature of the sin of pride:
Proverbs 8:13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
Isn’t it interesting that the attempt to be inclusive and support diversity is exactly what scripture warns against – pride. Isn’t it also interesting that the advocates of sexual immorality label their movement as pride.
Second, I think it is interesting that the pride movement chose the symbol of a rainbow for their banner? God gave the rainbow as a promise to us all that He will not again make the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.” And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”
Genesis 9:8-17 NIV
Finally, do you remember why God send the flood to wipe out mankind? Here is the explanation in His own words.
5: The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6: The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7: So the LORD said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”
Genesis 5-7 (NIV)
Note that the word “regretted” used twice in these verses can also be translated as “be grieved“.
Please take a moment to review and mediate on the verses listed here at the OpenBible on the topic of immorality. This is what we should be reading and praying on during the month of June. The study below is what will bring peace and salvation to those struggling with their identities and will serve as a weapon against the power of social media to drag them into a social contagion. I pray they touch your heart and strengthen your walk.
