True Colours

If you have read many of my posts, you'll notice that I've tackled a lot of touchy subjects. Today's post is definitely no exception. I got the idea for this post after seeing a poster in my hometown for "pride week". It really got me thinking.

I'm on the praise team at a local church, and this caused me to remember a conversation two of the members had. One of the members was teasing another about his rainbow "gay pride guitar strap". Another member interjected with, "No, God made rainbows." That's actually pretty deep. It seems to me like the LGBT community is using God's original sign of a promise to mean something drastically different. They want us to accept "how God made them". But that's not the case at all.

On that note, it also made me remember an incident with the Ark Encounter exhibit in Kentucky. They were being accused (or lauded, depending on who started it) for their display of rainbow lights they showed at night. Some seemed to think it was in support of this, or maybe just wanted to believe it. But of course, it was merely a remembrance of God's rainbow of promise, which was all part of the story of Noah and the flood- exactly the point of the whole exhibit.

I don't believe God creates people to be homosexual, bi or transgender. I believe this comes out of disillusionment, whether it comes from abuse, a broken home, or someone confusing them on purpose. I believe it's important, as this week's post says, to show our true colours and be who God REALLY made us to be.
