Pride in sin, the final insult…

Proverbs 16:18

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

While in Louisville KY recently I saw a big Pride flag in the window of a coffee shop near our hotel.  It suddenly occurred to me that they were ironically using a rainbow, which is God's promise not to judge the world with a flood again.  This really seems to be the enemy's biggest "in your face" corruptive sin being flaunted to God.

But the heat is being turned up in our world, so many may hopefully repent.

I’ll never forget the night they lit up the White House with the gay pride flag.  I knew then this Nation was headed toward hell.

Psalm 9:17

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

I'll never forget that too.  The mighty USA, which is supposed to be the leader of the free world, making statements like that and expects other nations to follow her. In fact, expect is a mild word, she sends officals to the African nations that does not want to adopt those type of lifestyles.

  The system in place now is forcing nations, people and individuals to comply or loose their jobs and others.  A tiny minority, now has a stronghold over the populaiton of lands.  Professors and teachers are compelled to teach things that are against their will or get fired.   Bakers have to bake that cake or spend a fortune to defend themselves against government lawyers.

 

Must be close I suppose .

It is like Jesus said, the violent try to take the Kingdom by FORCE.  They will make rules and laws that will enforce their wicked agenda, and will cause many to make a decision as to whom they will serve.  Either you are serving the mark of sin unto Death, or you are serving obedience to God, having the seal (mark) of the Righteousness of the faith.

This tactic of making laws to persecute the saints is nothing new.  When they couldn’t find fault to accuse Daniel, they made a decree that they knew Daniel would not follow because of his faith.
 

They make laws that “legalize” sin, and then they make laws against those who oppose sin.  Truly they are doing the works of their father the Devil.

Indeed.   What believers has to recognize too, is we are not contending with flesh and blood per say, but spiritual powers of darkess, pricipalities and more that uses men to do their work.   Carnal men will do carnal things and outcomes can be wrenching for even the believer.  So, we are not to loose sight of what is taking place.   

We are told who is our fight against, not flesh and blood, but satan and his host of evil entities. Not saying that men are not to be held accountable for their crimes and atrocities, but the very nature of world events that are taking shape have been written about already.   So, we are to be alert and put on the full armour of God and seek the Lord guidance and will.

Right, that is why man with all his carnal weapons of warfare can never put an end to wickedness, because it is spiritual.

That is also the reason why God said “who is able to make war with him?”

Revelation 13:4

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

Pride is the original sin of Lucifer, which he then encouraged in Eve as her original sin. 

More, it is nonsensical to have "pride" in something that homosexuals claim they can neither help, or change, as it is apparently inborn in their telling of things. It's like me being "proud" for being white, or 6'2, or having dark brown hair. 

The reality is, all of these folks have been brought up to expect we will all celebrate and affirm them. They think it's their right for people to make them feel better about themselves. But people are getting fed up, and not just Christians. And as Christians, we know that no man can have pride, for all have sinned. The only difference is, some are justified in our Lord Jesus Christ, the spotless lamb.
