We live in a world that is increasingly becoming less and less family friendly. On every side the radical LGBT+ culture is flaunting its ever-widening acceptance. The growth and influence of the LGBT+ movement knows no bounds or limits. They are making inroads at every level of society and in every institution given to us by God.
Jonathan Van Ness has become the first non-binary, non-female member of the LGBT+ community to appear on the cover of UK’s Cosmopolitan Magazine in 35 years. As a “non-binary” person Jonathan Van Ness doesn’t know who or what he or she is because non-binary is considered neither male nor female. The cover of Cosmopolitan says next to Jonathan’s picture, “Jonathan Van Ness – Yep! We did it. You’re totally welcome.” [1]
This is a big achievement for the homosexual activists and proof that they will not stop until our world is turned into an image of the LGBT+ movement. All aspects of our life will be transformed. Soon there will be individuals who look and dress just like Jonathan Van Ness in our prime time TV shows, news programs, government offices, churches, schools, magazines and movies all across every media platform. The plan is to bring an end to the evils of the traditional, biblical family.
Radical, militant LGBT+ activists will never stop. They want 100% acceptance and endorsement from everyone, including the churches. Too many churches are caving to this pressure of “acceptance” thinking that if they give into some of their demands that somehow they will be left alone. But there is no comprise between light and darkness, truth and error. Once you open the door to the LGBT+ movement they will seek for more and more concessions until they have total power and control.
Nations, civilizations, churches, societies and individuals bring about their own demise whenever they start rejecting the clear moral teaching of God’s word:
“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 14:34.
Righteousness comes by reading God’s word and applying it into our lives. These actions bring honor upon society and exalts us in the eyes of God. However, unbridled passions, lusts and sins bring contempt and ruin to any people by provoking God’s favor against them. This is how nations implode and deteriorate – every time we exchange reality, truth and biology and replace these with insanity, confusion and wickedness:
“He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.” Psalm 107:33, 34.
The Christian church has a testimony and a public witness during this time. Those who fear the Lord and obey Him must stop pretending that everything is OK. We need to pray for this individual who is depicted on the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine and for all those caught up in the trappings of the LGBT+ movement.
“Good understanding giveth favor: but the way of transgressors is hard.” Proverbs 13:15.
The LGBT+ life is hard. It is no bed of roses. All the smiles and pretty pictures are just a mirage. There is no true lasting joy, fulfillment or peace of mind whenever we are living outside the will of God. Only the gospel of Christ can heal the brokenness in our lives. Only Christ and His word can fulfill every yearning of our soul. We need to share the gospel so that many who have become slaves of unwanton passions might come back to following Christ.
In the mean time we must warn against this ever-growing apostasy that is sweeping our world. Those who head down this path are making a catastrophic mistake that will lead to eternal ruin. But there is hope and healing to all those seek the Lord for mercy, forgiveness and love.
