Today is national coming out day in the United States.

It's a catastrophic day in our culture that foregrounds a cultural acceptance of sin.

So what role do these cultural wide celebrations this pride of homosexual practice and transgendarism

play in the proliferation of this sin, this rebellion against God?

A listener asks about Philippians chapter 3 verses 18 to 19 and Romans 132 respectively.

What role does widespread cultural celebration of homosexuality play to the ubiquity of

this sin in our culture?

Jake and Nashville asks it, Hello Pastor John, what is the role of cultural celebration

or pride in encouraging sin to be accepted?

I'm thinking of Paul's conclusion to his condemnation of homosexual practices in Romans

chapter 1 verses 18 to 32 and though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice

such things deserve to die, they do not only do them but give approval to those who practice

them.

That's verse 32.

Or in Philippians, for many of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with

tears walk as enemies of the cross of Christ, their end is destruction, their God is their

belly and they glory in their shame with mindset on earthly things.

It's Philippians 3 verses 18 to 19, Pastor John does Paul hear foreshadow a nation-wide

coming out movement.

Tony, I really hear two questions, one, what is the role of cultural celebration or pride

in encouraging sin to be accepted?

That's obvious I think to all of us.
