LOVE THE GOSPEL: REBUKE PRIDE

Every Christian who loves the gospel of Jesus Christ laments and rebukes any celebration of “PRIDE,” because “PRIDE” is sin. Because we love God and love all people, we must hate all sin. Sin is a transgression of the law. “PRIDE” transgresses both the law of creation and the moral law. The law is a schoolmaster that leads us to see our sin and our need of Christ , as Savior and Lord. We cannot faithfully preach the gospel without faithfully preaching the Law. If we want to see those who celebrate “PRIDE” come to salvation in Christ, we must love them enough to speak the truth about their sin so they will see their need of God’s mercy and grace.
“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” – 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

“Awakened, but not Woke”

‘Woke’ is an deceptive, upside down word. It suggests that one has emerged from sleep and slumber to engage a new understanding of the world. Once you are woke, you begin to see things that you never saw before and things that un-woke people do not see. Supposedly, when you are woke, you have a clear understanding of who the oppressed and oppressors are. When you are woke you now understand that Christianity blinds people from seeing the real cause of human problems.
Wokeness is a divisive illusion, based on applying the class-struggle of Marxism to race, gender, economics, religion (especially Christianity), etc. Wokeism is sleepwalking. You think you are woke, but you are still in a death-like sleep. Wokeism is a fantasy, make-believe Disney World.

The Bible’s answer for Wokeism is, “Awake sleepers. Arise from the dead and Christ will shine on you.” When Jesus brings you out of spiritual death and darkness, He gives you new eyes and light to see the world, as God sees it, not as neo-Marxism sees it. Only God’s Word is “a light unto our path and a lamp unto our feet,” as we walk by faith in a confused and corrupt world.
