America's New Public Enemy No 1: A Biblical Sexual Ethic

Welcome to the mesmerizing hippodrome of modern American values, where every twisted impulse and sexual perversion is celebrated while moral absolutes are mocked. What a delightful time to be alive.

Here, in this world, clinging to a biblical sexual ethic is akin to committing social suicide. It’s the new, chic scarlet letter for a country that revels in moral anarchy and sexual chaos. Yet, for a Christian, I can only imagine Hell being like San Francisco's Market Street during the month of June.

Those daring enough to admit to believing God and holding to the biblical standard of sexuality—one man, one woman, within the sacred confines of marriage—are now the charming outcasts, the delightful pariahs, the final heretics standing in a culture that genuflects at the shrine of anything-goes.

Let's get one thing straight from the outset—if you believe in a biblical sexual ethic, you are a relic. You are a dinosaur, stomping through a landscape that has long since declared you extinct. In today's America, the only thing less popular than holding to a biblical view on sexuality is perhaps suggesting that men can't actually become women.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We're focusing on the absurdity of our present age, where biblical morality is not just unfashionable—it's downright despised.

In this brave new world, the Christian views of sexuality are seen as nothing short of bigotry. The workplace, formerly a place of professionalism and meritocracy, has now become a minefield of "inclusive" policies that demand not only tolerance but outright celebration of every conceivable sexual perversion and identity.

If you dare to voice your belief in traditional marriage, expect to be hauled before the HR Inquisition, where you'll be lectured on the evils of your "outdated" and "harmful" views. Your career will dangle by a thread, and any hope of advancement will be snuffed out faster than a candle in a hurricane.

Social life offers no respite either. In the age of social media, where virtue signaling is the currency of the realm, maintaining conservitve views on practically anything, especially sexuality, is social suicide.

Friendships, once forged in the fires of shared experiences and mutual respect, are now terminated with the swipe of a finger and a self-righteous hashtag. You're no longer a person—you're a symbol of hate, a walking anachronism in a world that demands conformity to its ever-enlightened moral landscape.

And don’t think you’ll find sanctuary in the church, either. Wide is the gate, the Bible warns, and most professing churches have fallen prey to the same cultural tides that have swept away the moral foundations of our nation. Churches that once stood firm on the solid rock of biblical truth are now crumbling under the weight of cultural relevance. They bend over backwards to appease the world, twisting Scripture to fit the zeitgeist. The pews are filled with goats who demand sermons that tickle their ears rather than convict their hearts. Stand up and proclaim the biblical truth about sexuality, and you'll quickly find yourself labeled a fundamentalist, a hate-monger, or worse—a believer in God's unchanging Word.

The hostility toward those of us who hold to a biblical sexual ethic is not some paranoid fantasy, it’s the unfortunate reality of life in America today. In the workplace, the pressure to conform is enormous. Employees are required to undergo "diversity training" sessions that amount to little more than indoctrination into the cult of sexual liberation. Refusal to participate—or worse, vocal disagreement—results in termination, with the offender branded as intolerant and backward and subsequently, unemployable.

Because nothing says "inclusive" quite like excluding those with traditional values, right?

Socially, the isolation is deep-rooted. Parties, gatherings, community events—your neighborhood’s Facebook group—become gauntlets of ideological purity tests. Dare to express a hint of belief in traditional marriage and invite ridicule, scorn, and ostracism. You become the subject of not just whispered conversations but public condemnations.

Even within families, the divide is clear—generational gaps widen as the younger members, steeped in the cultural sewage of relativism, clash with elders who cling to the old paths. Thanksgiving dinners turn into ideological battlegrounds, where every discussion teeters on the brink of explosive conflict. Relationships fracture, leaving behind a trail of bitterness and brokenness.

And then there are the churches, or what remains of them. Those few congregations that still preach the unadulterated Word of God are dwindling in number, their members often scattered and beleaguered and left having to drive hours out of the way to be fed solid food.

Most churches, desperate to fill their pews and coffers, have capitulated to some degree to the demands of the culture. They offer a watered-down gospel, stripped of its power and potency, a message devoid of conviction and truth. Those who refuse to bend, who stand resolute in their faith, find themselves increasingly alone, their voices drowned out by the cacophony of compromise.

Given the overwhelming opposition, one might ask why anyone would persist in holding to a biblical sexual ethic. The answer is simple. Truth is not determined by popularity. The Word of God remains trustworthy and immutable, regardless of cultural opinion. In a world awash with lies, holding to the truth becomes not just an act of defiance but a ray of hope.

While it seems as such, the biblical sexual ethic is not a relic of a bygone era but the foundation of a just and moral society. It upholds the sanctity of marriage, the integrity of the family, and the inherent dignity of every human being. It offers a vision of human flourishing rooted in the Creator's design, an unmistakable contrast to the chaos and confusion that reigns in its absence.

For those who remain steadfast, the path is fraught with hardship, but it is also filled with purpose. In standing firm, we bear witness to the truth, offering a countercultural testimony to a world desperately in need of redemption even at the expense of our own wellbeing. We become living epistles, our lives a testament to the transformative power of the gospel, even unto death.

Holding to a traditional biblical sexual ethic in today's America is a revolutionary act. It invites hostility, scorn, and isolation. But it also stands as a bold declaration of faith, a refusal to bow to the idols of the age. In the face of overwhelming opposition, we cling to the truth, knowing that in the end, it is not the approval of men but the approval of God that truly matters. And in this, we find our strength, our hope, and our unyielding resolve.
