A Wonderful Purpose for the Month of June: Will You Join Me?

Before I explain my plans for June, let's discuss what others will be celebrating:

June is Gay Pride month in the U.S., celebrating pride (dignity, respect, approval, and support) for LGBTQI+ lifestyles. 

Let's look at what Scripture says about Gay Pride:

Explaining the wrath of God, Romans 1:26-27 says, “God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.” 

In 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, we find a list of the lifestyles that send people to Hell if they don’t repent: “Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” See also 1 Timothy 1:8-11. 

Jude 1:7 says the sexual immorality of Sodom and Gomorrah serves “as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.” 

The Greek words used in these New Testament passages clearly describe same-gender sex as evil and soul-damaging. God forgives those who repent of it and condemns those who take pride in it. 

So I want to make June “Pray for LGBTQI+ Persons Month,” praying for the souls of those involved in these lifestyles, praying that they will repent and come to Christ. Will you join me?

Please take time this month to read the articles below. They will give you a deeper understanding of how damaging and sinful LGBTQI+ lifestyles are.

As a good foundation, see Did You Know there's a Passage in Scripture that Addresses Gay Pride? This one-minute devotion succinctly explains this important passage.

Or read the Bible Love Notes series on this passage: I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel. If you don't read the whole series, I especially recommend Did You Know that "Unnatural" Sins Are More Damaging to Our Souls?   

For additional inspiration for June's prayer, see What Scripture Says About Homosexuality. To prepare yourself to respond to false teachings which claim that Scripture approves homosexual behavior, see Responding to Gay Revisionist Theology.

 

God will judge nations, leaders, and individuals who encourage people to live lifestyles that separate them from God's grace and love, and He will judge professing Christians who remain silent or approve of these things which God disapproves of (Luke 9:26; Matthew 7:21-23).

 

From the White House Proclamation proclaiming June 2022 “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Pride Month”: “This month, we remind the LGBTQI+ community that they are loved and cherished...deserving of dignity, respect, and support.” 

 

This White House proclamation makes unsubstantiated claims that the rights of LGBTQI+ people are under “unconscionable attack,” blaming suicides on anyone who doesn't approve of their lifestyles. See Satan's Lies Are Causing Depression—Don't Blame God's Word.

 

When this document states, “We condemn the dangerous State laws and bills that target LGBTQI+ youth,” they are referring to legislation that prohibits sex-change drugs and surgeries for underage children. In truth, these surgeries are causing permanent physical and emotional damage to children who are easily misled because they lack adult reasoning skills. 

 

A month after this proclamation came out in 2022, the U.K., Sweden, Finland, and France shut down transgender clinics, determining they were not safe for children (source). This completely secular decision coming from secular governments further proves that the U.S. proclamation is propaganda that not only mocks God, science, and common sense but also brings tragic abuse to underage children. Gay Pride month has nothing to do with human rights and everything to do with the promotion of lifestyles that damage people's hearts, souls, and bodies. See Are You Duped by Satan's Propaganda Campaign?

 

This should bring Christians sadness for those caught up in LGBTQI+ lifestyles and righteous anger that God's design and God's commands are being mocked. This isn't political. It's moral. 

 

Romans 1:18-32 talks about the moral decline of mankind and it specifically mentions those who engage in homosexual behavior, ending with this serious warning: “Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”
