Our country seems to do such a great job of being inclusive and recognizing everyone for their accomplishements and contributions to our rich and diverse cultural backgrounds. Although we claim to be a nation founded on Biblical principles we continue to leave those founding principles in our distant past.
Yesterday, 44th president Barack Obama, proclaimed the month of June to be LGBT Pride Month. LGBT is an acronym for “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender.” Should a sexual orientation that God considers to be a perversion of nature – even calling it blasphemous – be something we as a nation celebrate and take pride in? Such proclamations only fuel those who support same-sex marriage and other initiatives that undermine God’s law. Such a proclamation is the gateway to legislation that will destroy the sanctity of both marriage and the family.
Pro-family activist Peter LaBarbera says it is sad, but not surprising, that President Obama chose to issue a proclamation celebrating homosexuality. The president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality said Obama is pandering to homosexual political activists.
“Homosexuality is nothing to be proud of — bottom line,” says LaBarbera. “The fact is people have left the lifestyle, people have overcome homosexuality [with God's help] — I think that’s something to be proud of….”
LaBarbera warns of the repercussions of the president’s pursuit of expanded rights for those who are confused about their sexual orientation.
“This proclamation talks about the entire radical homosexual agenda that Obama supports — including homosexualizing the U.S. military [and] federal so-called ‘rights’ based on homosexuality, which will impinge on the religious freedoms and freedom of conscience of other Americans.”
The Bible is very clear on the matter of homosexuality. 1 Timothy 5:20 says, “Them that sin rebuke before all that others may fear.” KJV Additionally, Ephesians 5:11 states, that we are to take no part in unfruitful works, but we are to expose them. Sadly, the Pew Forum recently reported that the Presbyterian Church is now moving to allow gay clergy, as have the United Methodists, United Church of Christ, Baptists, Lutherans and Episcopalians and Anglicans!
Homosexuals, which make up 1% of the populace, have choked the will out of Christians. However, as believers, we must reach out to homosexuals, lovingly, with the message of the gospel. We have work to do!
