How Should Christians Approach Pride Month?

For Christians, that contentious time of the year is approaching—pride month. As June unfolds, relentless LGBTQ propaganda will practically engulf our lives. You’ll see it everywhere—on television, in your children's schools, in your workplace, on billboards, in the streets, in restaurants, in advertisements, in social media feeds, in corporate logos, in sports arenas, in entertainment venues, in public libraries, and even in some synagogues of Satan that some people call “churches.”

The nation will essentially be draped in the rainbow flag for at least an entire month, and the parades and festivals will continue throughout the entire summer. It will be inescapable, barring quitting life altogether, locking yourself in your homes, and closing the blinds.

As Christians, how should we approach this onslaught of God-hating foolishness? James 4:4 warns us, "You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God." James reminds us that we are to be in the world, but not of the world. The world is our mission field, and we were given the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18-20).

Yes, we are called to proclaim the everlasting name of Jesus to a lost and dying world that hates its Creator. At the same time, we are called to be separate, set apart, and live lives that reflect the nature and character of God. This means we must love what God loves and hate what He hates. The normalization and celebration of LGBTQ lifestyles are not merely cultural trends—they are direct affronts to God's created order and His holy standards.

Romans 1 is explicit about the nature of such sins. It speaks of men and women exchanging natural relations for those that are contrary to nature, receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error (Romans 1:26-27). Hopefully, you don’t need me to paint you a picture of what that actually means. But it is clear that this is not just a temporal destruction but an eternal one. Such repulsive rebellion indicates a reprobate mind, and according to Scripture, those who practice such things deserve to die (Romans 1:32).

This is not our judgment but God’s righteous decree.
