Franklin Graham posted this a few hours ago and I wasn’t going to post it until I read the last line. Very clever Rev. Graham:
“Pride goeth before a fall.” Supreme Court Justice Scalia used Proverbs 16:18 in his comments regarding the court’s disappointing and dangerous ruling about same-sex marriage. He rightly called the decision “a threat to the American democracy.” This is so true. Arrogantly disregarding God’s authority always has serious consequences. Our nation will not like what’s at the end of this rainbow.
He also posted this yesterday about the rainbow:
The President had the White House lit up in rainbow colors to celebrate the Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage. This is outrageous—a real slap in the face to the millions of Americans who do not support same-sex marriage and whose voice is being ignored. God is the one who gave the rainbow, and it was associated with His judgment. God sent a flood to wipe out the entire world because mankind had become so wicked and violent. One man, Noah, was found righteous and escaped God’s judgment with his family. The rainbow was a sign to Noah that God would not use the flood again to judge the world. But one day God is going to judge sin—all sin. Only those who are found righteous will be able to escape His judgment. That righteousness comes through faith, believing on the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ who took our sins and shed His blood on the cross for each and every one. So, when we see the gay pride rainbow splashed on business advertisements and many people’s Facebook pages, may it remind all of us of God’s judgment to come. Are you ready? Are your sins forgiven?
I love how Graham leaves nothing unsaid. He is not only right, but is a strong beacon for Christ in this very dark world.
