Olympics Abomination
I’ve avoided writing about gay rights since I started my Christian blog. As I have spent time preparing my heart to write about the 2024 Olympic opening ceremony, I’ve realized I still will not be writing about gay rights.
Why?
Because what took place at the Olympics had absolutely nothing to do with gay rights.
We need to stop pretending that unrestrained public sexual displays, like the Olympics’ opening ceremony, many gay rights parades, and public drag shows, are anything but what they are; events organized by an out-of-control sub-culture of the gay community to influence society by displaying what they worship – unrestrained and perverse sexual exploration.
I say this is a sub-culture within the gay community, not that I am an expert in this area. I have not read or researched gay influencers, commentators, or writers, conservative or liberal. I’m just not naïve enough to believe that all gay people condone this shameful public behavior. I refuse to believe that the entire gay community feels no pangs in their conscience when they know these activities are reaching the eyes of children and are potentially influencing their futures in a negative way. I can’t believe that the majority doesn’t realize that children should not be exposed to sex at all.
The opening ceremony at the Olympics was nothing but a gross display of unbridled lust and perversion. Men dressed in women’s clothing posing in sexually submissive and dominating positions, for families to see across the world. A mix of men and women dressed in sexually suggestive costumes, some exposing their genitals, while a couple of kids hang out amongst them. Openly and arrogantly giving the finger to God. A disgusting naked blue man, served up on a platter, ready for his sexual experiments and conquests. If anything highlighted the message the organizers, participants, and supporters of this display hoped to communicate, it was this man on the platter. It said sex, sexual lust, and unrestrained sexual activity are what we are about, and we are going to shove it down your throats.
This is actually liberating for many of us who have had no idea how to combat this social intrusion into our culture and our families. If gay rights are no longer the issue, and has become about idol worship and the false god of sex and pleasure, a false god that is attacking the world, then we have a specific darkness, a clear spiritual attack that we need to defend ourselves against.
There is no love in a false god, or the worship of that god. There is no love when an outsider attacks our families with evil and destruction. Now we can act with a clear conscience because we have something tangible to point to, which is:
The worship and obsession with sex in this gay sub-culture.
There is also another reason we should be compelled, even forced, to take action. That is anger.
Righteous anger.
These people blasphemed my God, whom I love with all my heart, whom I serve with everything I have, and whom I will spend eternity with because His Son made it possible. I am angry that they treated Jesus with any disrespect at all, but they spat in His face. How dare they do that to my King, my Savior, and my God!?!
What do we do? Here are some ideas. Some may apply to you, some may not. Regardless, if you are disgusted by what the Olympic committee, the organizers of this event, the government of France, allowed to pollute your living room, then you need to do something.
Say Something
Silence, as we learned from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, is the same as participation. At a minimum, you need to let those in your circle of influence know that you do not agree with the promotion of sexual perversion. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you need to let the world know you walk with Jesus and you are not ashamed of it.
Christians, we need to be brave and bold in our faith. There are too many of us who move in and out of our circles every day, where our faith is not defining who we are. Jesus Christ died for you, so you could stand before God. God is perfect holiness, perfect love, perfect mercy, and the perfect judge. He is to be loved and feared by you, in equal measure. A truth this powerful, a God this awesome, deserves to be the defining influence in our lives. Cowardice in the face of influence birthed in the world is shameful to us and our faith.
Get Rid of Your Rainbow Flag
The rainbow flag of the gay community is a false idol that represents a false god. Every Christian church that hangs one of these flags on their buildings is worshiping a false god. Yes, they are actively participating in idol worship.
Church leaders, if you have one of these flags on your building, you will answer to God for this blaspheme. The people who fly this flag spit in the face of God at the Olympic ceremony. That breaks my heart. Are you still going to fly their flag? How could you do it in the first place and how dare you do it now?
Boycott
When you see the rainbow flag proudly displayed in a shop window, as you see all over the town I live in, chose not to shop there. They are promoting this type of sexual disregard and are encouraging this sub-culture to continue their attack on values and truth.
National chains, like MODS Pizza, jump on this bandwagon every June, offering rainbow desserts, flying flags, and posting pictures. We need to let these businesses know that supporting these perverse displays in the public eye is not what we want to see, as they do not align with our values.
Pray
Is it not clear that this gay movement of normalizing perversion is directed at blaspheming God? If the Olympics has taught us anything, it is that this group is against Christianity, the one true God, the only path to salvation. Which makes sense. Why attack other religions when they are not the truth? You don’t. You attack the one that is legitimate.
Jesus Christ died for the homosexual. He is the only Man who lived that loves them completely, yet He is the one who is taking their blows, their curses, and their attacks. They can’t see that they are attacking God, their Creator, who sits on His throne in perfect beauty and love, in the presence of rainbows. This is the God whom they should be seeking for answers, for direction, and for truth. But they are blinded by their own sin. So blinded by it they believe everybody in the world needs to be influenced by it and participate in it.
Stand on Truth
Read your Bible and recognize it for what it is, the voice of God, His words to you, to teach and guide you. If you’ve been tainted by Bible conspiracies, then rely on your faith in Him. How little is your faith? Ask yourself.
Homosexuality is a sin. It always has been, and it always will be. Monogamous or not, it is a sin because it is falls outside the lines of God’s creation, His perfection, and His truth. It is a sin the same way fornication is a sin; that is, sex before marriage. The same way adultery is a sin, either physical or visual.
Let’s face it, sex is difficult for a lot of us. It takes obedience to be faithful to another, obedience and planning not to fall into temptation, and a desire to honor God with our bodies.
Can a homosexual be saved?
I think so, but only if they can sit in a church and listen to a message on the sin of homosexuality and agree with it, repent for their struggle, and invite God into the struggle. I don’t believe their freedom from homosexuality is the key to salvation, otherwise our salvation is based on works, but the key is where their heart is with God. Not to excuse sin, but also not to disregard that we all have sin in our hearts. We are rescued from it by the work of Jesus, not by our personal victories over it.
God is merciful. Jesus understands who we are and what our struggles are. He loves you. Yes, I’m talking to you. He loves you right now, regardless of what you did even 30 seconds ago. He wants to have a relationship with you right now, just the way you are. You don’t have to change anything to be accepted by Him. All you have to do is accept Him and invite Him to come sit with you. Jesus is still perfect love. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.
John 5:41-44
41 “I do not receive honor from men. 42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. 43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. 44 How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God?
