Loving Your Neighbors...Even when it's Pride Month

 There is a lot of hate going on in secular, and even Christian circles. A majority of the arguing and debating and calling of names centers around the LGBTQ+ movement, and, unfortunately, many Christians have gotten sucked into the LGBTQ movement's liberal, anti-biblical agenda. Some leaders, such as Steven Anderson, have turned away many possible converts from his church because he would not allow them to join the congregation. Anderson even said, in his own words, "LGBT" stands for "Let God burn them". 

THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO WIN SOULS TO CHRIST!

I feel embarrassed that many opponents of Christianity believe that extreme radicals like Anderson and James White represent real Christianity, when, in reality, they don't. We need to love our enemies and pray for those that persecute us! It says it right on the pages of Holy Scripture! As far as LGBTQ+ goes, we are REQUIRED as Christians to loathe and despise the idea of Homosexuality, Transgenderism, and other unspeakable evils, but we need to love the souls of these poor, lost sinners, not the ideas that they, in their fallen, sinful state, have embraced. Did we expect that Godless, sinful humans would embrace the truth of Christianity while still unrepentant? No, of course not. 200 years ago, that might have been the case, but in the 21st century, with the rise of evolution, existentialism, and the New Left, that can no longer be the case. We need to pray that these lost, hell-bound souls come to Christ. 

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. ...

--Matthew 5:43-48(NKJV)
