At last, we reach the end of “Pride” month. However, the Assistant Secretary for Health, Admiral/Dr. Rachel Levine, a transgendered man into a “woman,” declares that it is to be a “summer of pride celebration.” Earlier this month St. Philip’s College in Texas was accused of firing a biology professor because some students took issue with his teaching that the sex of a human being is determined by their chromosomes. There is no doubt our society is confused. (Just consider Derek Webb's new song, "Boys will be Girls," in his new album called The Jesus Hypothesis.) The nature of the modern sexual revolution is nothing more but nothing less than a total confusion of God’s created order and is a frontal rebellion against the Creator Himself. To put it simply - we are living in a twisted and distorted culture.
There is nothing new in stating this for in Philippians 2:14-16 Paul reminds Christians of the first century of a truth that is true in our twenty-first century.
Do all things without grumbling or disputing; that you may prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may have cause to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.
The term "crooked" comes from the Greek word from which we get Scoliosis - twisted. His term for "perverse" has to do with moral corruption and perversion. There is truly nothing new under the sun when you see the creative and corrupt nature of fallen man. But we are to live above it as we live in it. We are to live blamelessly (free from fault) and innocent (unmixed with evil) being above reproach (morally pure).
The prescient if not prophetic words of Ayn Rand are chilling and appropriate for our times;
“When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming self-sacrifice-you may know that your society is doomed.” (Atlas Shrugged, 1957) It just might be that as Christians living courageously in our modern corrupt culture, we need to realize that our future might be that of a martyr and not an action hero.
