Companies will demonstrate their support by incorporating the rainbow into their corporate logos. Some like Target and Kohl\u2019s 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.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For thirty days our nation will be saturated with the LGBTQ+ agenda, as they further desensitize our children and push tolerance and diversity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">At the same time, Christians who oppose this \u201ccelebration\u201d 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">No, this is not a celebration of love. It\u2019s a celebration of debauchery, sodomy, and sin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">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\u2014demonstrating a spirit of unity and love\u2014that 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Consider the following Scriptures that God-breathed:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Proverbs 6:16-17, \u201cThese six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Psalm 10:4, \u201cThe wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Proverbs 16:5, \u201cEveryone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Proverbs 11:2, \u201cWhen pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Proverbs 16:18-19, \u201cPride 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.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 James 4:6, \u201cBut He gives more grace. Therefore He says: \u2018God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Proverbs 29:2, \u201cA man\u2019s pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pride is not something to celebrate. It\u2019s an abomination to God\u2014something He hates. Christians, if we really care and love the lost in this world, then we will teach them the Truth\u2014a Truth that will ultimately set them free from all that ensnares them. John wrote, \u201cFor all that is in the world\u2014the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life\u2014is not of the Father but is of the world\u201d (1 John 2:16).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I encourage everyone to stop supporting \u201cpride month\u201d 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After giving those who have died for our freedom one \u201cmemorial\u201d day, our country will now devote an entire month to \u201cPride Month\u201d for the LGBTQ+ agenda.
