"As you set yourselves apart by your obedience to the truth so that you might have genuine affection for your fellow believers, love each other deeply and earnestly." (1 Peter 1:22 CEB)
This is very relevant in regards to "Pride month"-- the "love" that movement claims is only repackaged lust, lewd & lascivious & luciferean. We set ourselves apart from that lie by obeying the Truth of God-- yes, even we who are on Side B as it were-- and through our dedicated faith struggle, we are empowered by the Spirit to know and feel and share REAL LOVE: the Love of God, pure & gracious & humble & beautiful. We who wear rainbows within the Church are CALLED to testify to this! We are to be witnesses for Christ WITHIN the very colorful culture the devil is trying to swallow whole. We are to be beacons of the One True Light, guiding our confused brethren back home to the Lord, Who they may have never known before, and yet Who their hearts still seek inasmuch as they honestly seek Love.
So stay obedient to Him! Stand strong in the faith! Only then can your own love be sourced from the Source, and so be both genuine and generous, to share with so many thirsty souls!
