Pride Month

2024-06-30

We have now completed another pride month. Understand it has always been about pride. “Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good” (Ezekiel 16:49-50).

We got here by the same path: pride, affluence, laziness, and spurning those who are weak. This is our society. We can check off every one of these sins.

What is the path forward but humility? “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble” (James 4:6). There must be a sense of shame and we must repent of these evil deeds.

Whoever out there who has an ear to hear, do not be hardened in this age of acceptance of homosexuality. “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections...” (Romans 1:26). It seems clear that God is giving us over to vile affections just as he did to Sodom. The unthinkable years ago is now here. There is a God that forgives, but would you have Him? Otherwise, we will have the same ending as Sodom.

And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. (Genesis 19:14)
