“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34)
If you have ever wondered why Christians get so upset over things like abortion laws, the legalization of same-sex marriage, and the indoctrination of transgenderism in the school systems – this verse is why.
It isn’t because we hate homosexuals or we don’t care about women. It is because we know what sin does to your life. It will bring you sorrow and shame and pain and suffering in so many unintended ways. Nobody is more acquainted with the awfulness of sin than Christians. We chose Jesus because we realized how broken we were.
When the nation we love chooses the road that destroys us, we grieve.
Not because we hate… but because we love.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
