THE LGBTQ MOUTH FUNK

There are many diseases that can kill you, from things like cancer, heart disease, or kidney disease, but few people consider the perilous bacteria-laden threat that gum disease presents. And this, of course, is for obvious reasons. Gum disease, or gingivitis as it is commonly called, begins in the early stages with very mild and easily treated symptoms, such as redness in the gums, irritation, and swelling. It might reveal itself with a little blood in the sink when flossing or a darker hue of pink upon the gumline, but with a commitment to brushing regularly and perhaps a routine visit to the dentist, it is entirely reversible and will not become a long-term issue for you.

Yet, if it is ignored for long enough and left untreated, gingivitis will turn into periodontitis, which is a much more significant and pesky version of gum disease. After years of gingival neglect, the gums will begin pulling away from the teeth and pockets, where bacteria can settle, will form, infection will set into the gums, and if ignored for long enough, will erode bone structures and even lead to death. What could have been a routine fix ends up polluting the entire mouth and eventually toxifying the whole body, which should be instructive as we enter into the month of a thousand rainbows, or more accurately, stain-bows and shame-bows.

Every year, we are thrust into an entire month filled with an ever-changing flag devoted to the sickest forms of moral deviancy; we have advocacy groups slamming the worst content down our throats from woke companies who virtue signal their way through June, such as Target selling women's bathing suits last year with penis pockets, or Budweiser - an already piss-poor excuse for beer - putting Dylan Mulvaney, a piss poor excuse for a man, on its can. This is the month when the Whitehouse invites biological men with breast implants to stand on the south lawn and flash manufactured saline flesh sacks at children to the applause of adults. This is the month when people lose their jobs over social media posts dedicated to Biblical fidelity and the month where if you are not an ally of the alphabet gang, then you will be canceled.  

Like gum disease in its most advanced stages, our culture has become thoroughly toxified by what was once a fairly routine infection. A couple rogue LGBTQ germs implanted themselves into the base of America's gumline about 60 years ago, and now the stink or death has settled into the face of our culture. 

How did we get here? One too many rainbow Twizzlers without a commitment to Biblical fidelity, and what you have is the makings of a full-blown face-rotting disease. You see, in the early twentieth century, as our culture crested the hilltop of Christendom, its first exposure to the LGBTQ movement was tasted. With organizations like the Society for Human Rights in 1924 and the Mattachine Society of 1950 being founded to advance the rights of gays and lesbians, the earliest signs of gum chaffing were beginning to flare up in the mouth. 

A generation later, in the sexually debauched and psychedelic drug era of the 1960s, this mild irritation multiplied into a full-blown condition known as the Stonewall riots of New York, which brought the LGBTQ movement into the national conversation. Suddenly, what was once a minor inflammation that should have been dealt with by the church and the broader culture had morphed into a technicolored blood bath in the sink every time a little brushing was employed. 

Sadly, the movement gained unnecessary momentum in the 1970s and 80s because the dispensational church stood idly by, waiting to be raptured while ignoring the odious smell of swamp breath in the mouth of an infected culture. As we transitioned to the 90s, the cultural gums were already pulling away from the teeth as the AIDS crisis ravaged the homosexual community, demonstrating the damning effects one will receive in the body for violating God's law. 

Since then, the pesky infection - which would have been curable at every step along the way - has burgeoned into a full-blown septic tank in the soul of our nation, polluting everything it touches, from the legalization of sodomite marriages to the widespread acceptance of pedophiles twerking in dresses for cheering mothers and children to the Mr. potato head trans movement that swaps out genitals faster than you can upgrade your transmission. Evidence of this putrid and aggressive rot is now all around us, and what could have been cured quickly and easily now requires the most potent medicine we have, or this society has no hope. 

To that end, I would like to offer the most vital medicine available, which is found in the Word of God. Instead of celebrating the abominating, becoming allies with the cancer that is killing us, I want to do what so few squishy men will do and simply say what the Bible says and pray that the Lord would use it as an antiseptic to help bring healing and revival to our land. Our only hope as a society is radical repentance and a return to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Without that, our rampant sexual disorders, child sex slavery, and human trafficking, the killing of our babies in the womb, our furbies and two-spirit-pangolins, our trannies, sodomites, and Gomorrah whorings, will collectively put a once proud nation into the grave with every other society that refused to honor God. 

So, in what follows, instead of standing idly by while the culture and fake Christians go on with the celebration of abominations, I want to offer the Biblical antiseptic that will hopefully reverse the rot and bring healing to our land. To do that, I want to talk about what abominations are in the Bible, what kinds of sins qualify as abominations, how those sins paralyzingly infect a people, and why repenting and turning to Jesus is our culture's only hope! 

WHAT IS AN ABOMINATION?

When we speak about abominations, we are talking about the very worst classification of sins in the hamartiological corpus. These are sins so vile and detestable that they provoke God's furious wrath like nothing else. These aren't minor slip-ups or trivial mistakes; they are full-blown rebellions against the Almighty's very good design and order in Genesis 1, making them creation-bending and breaking sins. Needless to say, the Bible doesn't mince words here, and neither should we.

According to the best Hebrew linguistic data available in the best lexicons money can buy, an abomination is something that causes loathsome hate or violent, repulsive disgust in the viewer. When it comes to God, an abomination is something that enflames our Creator's disgust to such epic proportions that the only response He can give is unbridled fury because it offends Him so profoundly, overturns His perfect creation and design so thoroughly, and violates His holy character so flagrantly. The Hebrew Word for abomination is "תּוֹעֵבָה" (toʿevah), which translates to something morally disgusting or detestable. Think about your reaction to a rancid steak infested with week-old maggots being served to you on a dirty plate, and you are getting close to the kind of reaction an abomination produces. Understanding this, an abomination isn't about a subjective feeling or a cultural preference; these actions are foundationally repugnant and noxious to God, and they ought to be repulsive to us as well. They utterly pollute cultures, defy His Holy commandments, defile His image-bearing people, and warrant the harshest judgment imaginable.

With that, abominations are not run-of-the-mill sins that naturally arose in a fallen world because of our penchant for rebellion. We know from the Bible that every sin separates us from God and pays the wages of hellfire and brimstone, so in that sense, all sins are sort of the same. But abominations are also different. In Scripture, they are set apart as land polluting and divine fury inducing in ways that other sins are not spoken about. Also, in Jewish literature such as the "Book of Enoch," abominations are described as otherworldly sins, so sinister and unnatural that they must have come from outside of the world, from fallen angels foisting them upon humanity like festering leaking boils, that caused God to destroy the earth in a global flood. If the Book of Enoch is correct, fallen angels taught humans abominable sexual sins that produced the cursed race of the Nephilim, that infected towns like Sodom and Gomorrah, and is the reason God thoroughly decimated the deviant lands of Egypt, Canaan, and Bashan. 

Nonetheless, the Hebrew words translated as "abomination" are often used in association with things like idolatry and false gods (Deuteronomy 17:2–5; 27:15; 29:17; Isaiah 66:3; Jeremiah 32:34; Ezekiel 5:9; 11:18; Hosea 9:10), which lets us know that abominations, especially sexual sins, are also religious sins, since, as Paul tells us, that underneath every mute idol statue is the power of oppressive demons, we can understand that abominations are sins offered in the service of the demonic. They are lude disgusting offerings to Satan and his minions, which is why they are so detestable to God. For instance, in 1 Kings 11:5, the god Molech is called "the abomination of the Ammonites" (ESV). Why? Because Molech was the God that ate your children. He required you and your wife to get pregnant, have the baby, and then roast the screaming writing baby alive in the fires of his belly in a dank oven that sat in the center of the idol. The genuinely vile part of this, if the former were not appalling enough, was that you were supposed to wildly cheer and go on to participate in detestable orgies while the smell of your infant's charred carcus choked out the breathable air. This is what being given over to demons looks like: the total, wanton participation in, and celebration of, human desecrations.

Occult practices are also called abominations in Scripture, further linking demonic and Satanic power with this most unholy class of sins. Sins such as child sacrifice (Deuteronomy 18:9–12; 20:18; 2 Chronicles 28:3), ungodly sexual relationships, cross-dressing, bestiality, and pedophilia all fall under this category. These sins are never described in mild terms; they are always referred to with adjectives like "abhorrent," "loathsome," "unclean," and "rejected." The root concept of the word "תּוֹעֵבָה" (toʿevah) probably derives from a root that denotes the idea of inviolability or untouchability, which could imply either holiness or abomination. This dual meaning underscores how deeply offensive abominations are to God—they represent a profound violation of His holiness.

In summary, abominations in the Bible represent the highest degree of moral and spiritual corruption. They are actions and attitudes that not only transgress God's laws but also challenge His sovereignty and disrupt the harmony of His creation. The severity of God's response to abominations reflects the depth of their offense. They are not just sins; they are existential threats to the divine order, and as such, they incur the most severe judgments from God. Understanding this helps us grasp the seriousness with which we must approach our own moral conduct and the attitudes we must have in response to our societies' abominations. To say it simply, it is not righteous to love what God hates. It is not virtuous to permit what makes God vomit. When we think that being Christian is akin to not offending anyone and allowing filth to go on in our streets under the banner of winsomeness, we offend our God and become an ally against God with the abominable and the damned. It is better to be viewed by the world as hateful but to be clean and loving in the eyes of God. 

With that, let us detail what specific sins are called abominations. I am only going to be talking about the rainbow-colored ones in this post since we are about to enter the throes of another June dedicated to the worship of Molech.  

TAXONOMIZING ABOMINABLES

GAY AND LESBIAN SEX

Leviticus 18:22: "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."

Homosexual acts (and desires) are a direct assault on God's design for human sexuality. These acts pervert the natural order established at creation and are called abominations by the Holy Scriptures. This isn't a matter of interpretation, nor something that was simply cultural in the ancient world; it is obvious from the text. Ignoring it requires a heart of stone, and participating in it is to invite judgment upon your own head, both in this life and in the life to come. Furthermore, the normalization of gay and lesbian relationships in our culture represents the most flagrant rebellion against God's created order possible. The undermining of the sanctity of marriage is a giving of the middle finger by our nation unto God. And, as they celebrate these abominable acts, they look down the barrel of God's 44 magnum and mock Him that He has patiently waited to pull the trigger. 

BESTIALITY

Leviticus 18:23-26: "You shall not have intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it... it is a perversion."

Bestiality is not just a moral failure; it's a grotesque soul-staining perversion that defiles both man and beast. It represents some of the lowest depths of human depravity, a debasement of the dignity of humanity, and a violation of the natural bodily boundaries set forth by God. Such acts are shameful, abhorrent, despicable, and revolting beyond words. This sin signifies a complete and total lapse of morality and character. It showcases the depth of degradation a society has embraced in order to permit and perpetrate such horrific moral filth. The fact that this not only exists in our culture, but now deranged humans behave like animals and believe they are animals, represents a new low in psychotic imagination and musings of a people.

TRANSGENDER IDENTITY

Deuteronomy 22:5: "A woman shall not wear man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God."

The transgender movement is nothing less than a direct attack on God's creation of male and female. It is a rebellion against the very essence of God-given sexual identity and order. This confusion and perversion are not only catastrophic stains upon society, but we have reached the point where it is celebrated in our streets and schools, and young children are coached by adults into gender fluidity, hormone blockers, cross-dressing, and genital manipulation by pedophiles in medical scrubs. In Biblical times, parents who foisted such filth upon their own children would be executed, and for good reason, because their very existence was inviting the furious judgment of God. Now, our very sickest and most depraved within this society have been elevated as our heroes, becoming a fitting caricature of our repugnance and deservedness of holy wrath. Such abominable practices are not acts of bravery but defiance against the Creator. They spit in the face of divine wisdom and shake the foundations of societal order, signaling a culture that has lost all reverence for God's design.

HARLOTRY AND PORNOGRAPHY

Deuteronomy 23:17-18: "None of the daughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute... these are an abomination to the Lord your God."

Prostitution and pornography are not just personal sins; they are societal cancers that degrade human dignity and defile the sanctity of the human body, which is made in the image of God. These acts of tumorous harlotry are not only permitted but celebrated and even glorified in our media, which spreads filth across the nation like a dog dragging its rear end across the carpet. The commodification of sex turns what God intended as holy and monogamous into something profane and perverted. We invite God's severe judgment upon ourselves and our communities by indulging in and supporting these industries.

OTHER SEXUAL PERVERSIONS

Proverbs 11:20: "The perverse in heart are an abomination to the Lord."

Perversion means to deviate outside the constructs of an accepted norm. In Biblical sexual ethics, anything outside of monogamous heterosexual covenant love-aking is a perversion and, thus, an abomination unto God. Sexual perversion is an insult to God's design for intimacy and purity among one man and one woman for a lifetime. Those who engage in and promote such acts display hearts that are maliciously twisted and malignantly corrupted, reveling in what God despises. We are in the epicenter of societal hell in this culture, and as we enter into the gayest and most perverted month of the year, where any and every perversion under heaven is celebrated with whimsical glee, in our entertainment, pride parades, city councils, white house lawns, education apparatus which long ago abandoned reason, in our public policy and kowtowing politicians, who rejoice when they make a child in this culture twice the son of hell as they are, corrupting minds and hearts and producing a nation addicted to depravity. The widespread acceptance and encouragement of sundry kinds of perverse sexual behavior signifies a society that has long ago turned its back on God, welcoming with open arms His righteous anger and inevitable judgment.

SUPPORTING THE LGBTQ MOVEMENT

Proverbs 15:9: "The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord."

God not only calls the participation of such evil an abomination, but He also says that their way is a cancer that must be avoided by those who are righteous. Rather than walking in the counsel of the wicked, or standing in the pathways of sinners, or sitting down and wading in the sewage with the scoffers, we are to stand against the behaviors that are killing this nation! In the same way that a toothbrush is the sworn enemy of Peritonitis, we should grab the brushes, grab our Bibles, grab our children and disciple them, grab this nation by the horns, and let her know what she is doing will lead to disaster. Because if we don't, the rot will only get worse! According to this very proverb, supporting the LGBTQ movement is tantamount to endorsing rebellion against God. Saying nothing is not only cowardice but a rejection of God's good commands and character. It is a declaration that we value man's approval over God's precepts and laws. By promoting and celebrating these lifestyles, or even by remaining aloof and watching from a distance, we align ourselves with wickedness, we allow the rot to continue, we call what is evil good and what is good evil, and we let fester what will kill this society and leave it languishing under God's culture-ending judgments. Support goes far beyond tolerance to culpability. And perhaps we shrink back from using the kinds of words I am using because our hearts are no longer aligned with God's! Do you remember Phineas? He did not stand idly by when sexual sin from the cohort of Moab crept into the camp of Israel. He grabbed a spear and shoved it right through the man and woman who dared defile the land of God. And do you remember what God did? He praised the zeal of Phineas, who restrained God's wrath against the sin-loving people. Where are the men of zeal today? Where are the men whose all-consuming passion for the holiness of God will drive back God's anger by their love for His holy and righteous commands? Why are we a nation filled with such weak and pathetic men who say nothing and who allow the disease to continue ravaging us? Do we really think that saying nothing and placating abominations is tantamount to being Christian? Will it be effective? We are either for Christ or against Him, we must choose this day whom we will serve. 

THE NATIONS WHO SUPPORT THE LGBTQ AGENDA

Ezekiel 7:4: "Your abominations will be among you; then you will know that I am the Lord."

Proverbs 16:12: "It is an abomination for kings to commit wicked acts."

A nation that supports LGBTQ lifestyles is a nation that has chosen to defy the living God. When we see our decrepit, dottering president declaring Trans Visibility Day on Resurrection Sunday, we witness a satanic support for the darkness that will cripple, devastate, and end the American empire for good. Such support ensures that abominations flourish, further defiling the land and its people, plunging us into ruin and devastation. History is littered with the ruins of civilizations that have turned their backs on God's commandments, and we are on the same path of destruction with the modern-day Demonicratic party and the hapless cowards and RINOs among the Republicans. The toleration and promotion of these sins at a national level is shameful and consequential, inviting the fury of God. When governments endorse LGBTQ practices, they commit grave wickedness, betraying their God-given duty to uphold righteousness. Such governments legislate sin, turning what should be a bulwark of justice into a promoter of abominations. This corruption at the highest levels ensures widespread moral decay, leading the nation into deeper rebellion against God. Governments that forsake divine law for human desires will face severe judgment, bringing ruin upon the land they are meant to protect.

THE PRAYERS OF THOSE WHO SUPPORT THE LGBTQ ABOMINATION

Proverbs 28:9: "He who turns away his ear from listening to the law, even his prayer is an abomination."

Did you catch that? Do not believe you can sit back idly by, and this fat rat will not climb into your cupboards. If you support the LGBTQ movement, or if in your cowardice, you virtue signal it on social media or in your woke company in order to get along, your prayers will become a stench to God. Your communication with God the Father will smell like an unemptied porta john in the nostrils of the Almighty, which means that you will also become detestable to God. Those fake Christians who hang pride flags outside their churches and homes may cry out all they want for divine blessings and peace, but their refusal to listen to God's law will render their prayers empty, hollow, voided, and nothing short of abominable. Such hypocrisy mocks the holiness of God and invites His scorn. A nation filled with such false piety stands condemned, for it has turned away from truth and embraced lies. Without repentance, these prayers will only bring further judgment on the false church and our depraved nation.

PASTORS SUPPORTING LGBTQ

Jeremiah 6:14-15: "Were they ashamed because of the abomination they have done? They were not even ashamed at all... They shall be cast down," says the Lord."

Pastors who support the LGBTQ lifestyle and the movement hang their flags and plaster "open and affirming" on their buildings to betray Jesus Christ! They spit in His face and abandon their sacred duty to shepherd God's flock with truth. They condone what God condemns, leading their congregations into sin and apostasy, which should terrify them because the only thing that makes God more furious than abominations is the false shepherd that leads weaker, more unsuspecting people into the eye of the abominable storm. To lead others into such atrocities is to hang a thousand-pound millstone around your neck and try to doggie-paddle in the Mariana trench. Such leaders are not only misguided, but with their sparkle creed in tow, they are blood-lusting wolves that plunge their fangs into unsuspecting sheep, feast on goats, and bring corruption to the church from within. Their lack of shame and bold endorsement of abominations mark them out as the most egregious sinners in all of the Biblical canon. Far worse than evil politicians, who are expected to be morally ignorant, the pastor or shepherd who leads people into such calamities is marked out for a special kind of destruction. This is why Judas was called the son of perdition, because the closer you are to Jesus, the more furious the punishment is if you depart from the words of life. Instead of gloating about their licentious liberties, these so-called "pastors" and "pastrix" must repent now before it is too late. 

THE COMING DOOM

If America continues to celebrate abominations, the wrath of God is inevitable and will manifest in severe ways. The Bible explicitly warns that those who engage in and promote these sins will face dire consequences. Romans 1:26-27 states, "For this reason, God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error." This passage reveals that God will allow those who rebel against His design to suffer the natural consequences of their actions, including physical, emotional, and spiritual decay.

Furthermore, Hebrews 13:4 declares, "Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge." This judgment is not only personal but also corporate, affecting entire communities and nations. The judgment of God is a fearful thing, bringing calamities that could range from natural disasters to societal collapse. As in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, God will not remain silent in the face of such brazen sin. Jude 1:7 reminds us that these cities "indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire." The punishment for such sins is severe and eternal, indicating the seriousness with which God views these abominations.

The ultimate consequence, however, is exclusion from the Kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 make it unequivocally clear: "Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality... those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." Those who continue in these sins without repentance will face eternal separation from God, consigned to everlasting torment. This is the most terrifying punishment of all, a perpetual state of suffering and regret.

The urgency for repentance cannot be overstated. The path America is on leads to destruction, but there is hope. 1 Corinthians 6:11 offers a way out: "Such were some of you, but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God." Even the worst sinners can be redeemed through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. However, the future is bleak without a collective turning back to God. The time for complacency is over; the time for repentance is now. Our nation must abandon its wicked ways and seek the mercy of God before it is too late. And it is here I would like to remind us of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! 

THE ONLY ESCAPE: THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

The Scriptures implore us to recognize the depth of our sin and the urgency of repentance. God, in His infinite mercy, offers forgiveness through Jesus Christ, but we must turn from our wicked ways. Isaiah 55:7 urges, "Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, and He will have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon." This is not a suggestion but a divine command to abandon our sinful paths and seek God's mercy.

The urgency of this call cannot be overstated. Romans 6:23 warns, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." The consequences of continuing in sin are severe and eternal. Jesus Himself warned in Luke 13:3, "I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." The message is clear: without repentance, there is no hope.

Yet, despite the gravity of our sins, God offers a way out through Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:9 promises, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." This assurance is grounded in the sacrificial work of Christ. Romans 5:8 proclaims, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." His death and resurrection provide the means by which we can be cleansed and made new.

Moreover, 2 Corinthians 5:17 assures us of transformation: "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come." This transformation is not superficial; it is a profound change in identity and purpose. Through Christ, we are no longer defined by our past sins but by His righteousness.

The call to repentance is immediate and urgent. Hebrews 3:15 warns, "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me." The time to turn to Christ is now. James 4:8-10 exhorts, "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you."

The call is even more pressing for those entangled in the sins celebrated during Pride Month. God's Word explicitly condemns these abominations, yet His mercy is available to all who repent. Ezekiel 18:30-32 pleads," 'Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each according to his conduct,' declares the Lord God. 'Repent and turn away from all your transgressions so that iniquity may not become a stumbling block to you. Cast away from you all your transgressions which you have committed and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! For why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies,' declares the Lord God. 'Therefore, repent and live.'"

To those who have strayed far from God's design, the invitation is clear: Repent. Turn from your sin and embrace the forgiveness offered through Jesus Christ. Acts 3:19 calls out, "Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." The pathway to renewal is through repentance and faith in Christ.

Turn to Jesus. Abandon your identity in sin and find a new identity in Him. Galatians 2:20 declares, "I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." Embrace the identity given to you by your Creator, not the false identity constructed by a sinful culture.

Live for Him. Follow His commandments and teachings, for they lead to life. John 14:15 says, "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." True love for Christ is demonstrated in obedience to His Word.

Pastors and Christians, the call to preach the Gospel is more urgent than ever. 2 Timothy 4:2 commands, "Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction." We must boldly proclaim the truth, calling out sin and pointing to the hope found in Christ alone.

Uphold Scripture in all its truth and power. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 reminds us, "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." The Word of God is our foundation, and we must stand firm upon it.

Call for repentance with the same urgency and compassion that marked the ministry of Jesus. Mark 1:15 records His words, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel." Luke 9:26 warns, "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels." This is our mission: to call a wayward world back to the Savior.

In this month, where sin is celebrated, let us be relentless in proclaiming the need for repentance and the hope found in Jesus Christ. The fires of sin are consuming our nation, but through Christ, there is a way out. Let us not delay; let us not be silent. Now is the time to turn to Him, for He is mighty to save, and His grace is sufficient for all who come to Him. Amen.
