President Obama has been celebrating June as “Gay Pride month.” He and his wife, Michelle, hosted a LGBT reception at the White House. He stated that while some Americans are still “evolving on the issue,” he and Michelle “have made up their minds on this issue.”
The President often refers to himself as a Christian. I wonder. Does he believe that God has changed His mind about the practice of sodomy? Is God “evolving?” Will He soon be as enlightened as the president?
Mr. President, do you have confidence in a god who changes his mind? Does it give you peace of mind to think that the Creator is “evolving” to be as enlightened as His creation?
Something more troubles me. Why would we want to set aside a month that celebrates sexual behavior? Any sexual behavior? What kind of civilization does that?
Think of it. “Gay pride month.” Let’s be honest and call it what it is. Pride in being a man who is sexually attracted to another man. But, why stop there? Why not set aside a month for “man-boy pride?” Or, let’s just keep it “normal” and celebrate “man with woman pride.” Do you follow what I’m saying? We’ve become a culture that wants to celebrate sexual behavior. The right to sexual behavior. Unlimited, prideful, sexual behavior… no matter the consequences that follow.
How does this come to be? How is it that a U.S. President can comfortably set aside a month of the year to celebrate “gay pride?” To go on record in support of “marriage” between two women or two men? This can happen only when the created raises itself above the Creator. When we worship at the altar of self. When we puff with pride and live the way we please as “sexual beings.”
This is not how God defines us. God calls us human beings created in His image as male or female. To be human is to be a steward of all that God has made, including our own bodies, minds and souls. A good steward does not seek after his or her own desires, but lives in the way that glorifies God. All of humanity is better for it.
The sexual component of humanity relates to completeness and procreation. It was “not good” for man to be alone. Man needed a helper. No animal or other man would be suitable helpers. Only woman would be a good steward together with man. Equal, yet different, male and female are the two eyes of the human race. And, from their procreational act of sex, life goes on. In the perfect fit of the sexual act, man and woman become more than stewards but also fathers, mothers, and children. It is because of sex that we can celebrate not our “gay” pride or even our “heterosexual” pride, but family life with its anniversaries of weddings and birthdays. It is within family that sons and daughters learn the patience and selflessness that influences society and generations to come.
The Fall into sin complicated everything for stewards, male and female. It changed our relationships with each other and with God. After sin, and throughout Old and New Testaments, God tells us to flee from sensuality and the ways of our sinful flesh, but never once does He tell us to flee from our identity as male or female stewards. In fact, out of pure mercy for His fallen creation, He gives male and female a more noble identity as treasures of Jesus Christ. And that, Mr. President, is what we are. Treasures of Christ who gave His life as the sacrifice for our sin. Think of how that should affect our behavior.
And so, Mr. President, please take care not to puff with pride. Not “gay” pride; no, not human pride. Instead, think of how you and your wife can be the best stewards over all that has been entrusted to you. Think of your own daughters and how they came to be.
Mr. President, you may have evolved in your thinking. But, what if God does not see this — or any other issue — the way you do?
