Yet beneath the glitter and slogans lurks a troubling reality many refuse to see or admit — a truth that calls me, as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ anchored in the living, unchanging Word of God, to speak out rather than stay silent.
This is not a message of condemnation or hate but one born from a genuine love for both the lost and the church. Millions are being led astray by a cunning lie disguised as love. Meanwhile, countless Christians hesitate, caught between fear and uncertainty, unsure how to speak truth with compassion in an upside-down culture. A culture that often brands honesty as hatred. At stake is more than conversation. The eternal destiny of souls hangs in the balance.
But here’s where many stumble — caught in a torrent of confusion and wrong assumptions. A growing belief insists that since “God is love,” every lifestyle choice must be embraced without question, and sin should never be named or challenged. It’s a comforting idea on the surface, wrapped in warmth and acceptance. Yet, this belief misses something crucial. It overlooks the fullness of God’s love, which is never passive or silent in the face of what harms souls. It takes Scripture out of context and warps God’s character into something He is not.
Love isn’t about ignoring wrong or pretending all paths lead to life. Instead, it calls for honest, compassionate confrontation — a willingness to speak truth meekly, yet firmly, guided by mercy. The kind of love we see in the Bible refuses to sacrifice reality for the sake of comfort, and it longs to lead hearts back to the hope found only in God’s grace.
Yes, the Bible tells us, “God is love” (1 John 4:8), and Jesus calls us to love both God and our neighbor with everything we have (Matthew 22:37–39). But what does that love look like when the stakes are eternal? It’s not passive. It’s not silence disguised as kindness. Real love doesn’t stand by while someone walks toward destruction. It doesn’t trade truth for comfort.
True love is holy. It’s bold enough to speak when the easier choice is to stay quiet. It’s the kind of love that risks being misunderstood because the soul of another is worth it. This kind of love wounds only to heal, confronts only to redeem, and dares to speak the truth when silence would be a betrayal.
If love for God burns deeply in our hearts — and if we genuinely love our neighbors as ourselves — then we can’t pretend sin is harmless. We can’t quietly nod while people we care about wander further from the life God designed for them. To stay silent while someone walks toward eternal separation from their Creator isn’t compassion. It’s neglect and cruelty. Real love firmly warns, patiently guides, and meekly calls for repentance — not to shame, but to rescue.
Love isn’t an indulgence. It isn’t the easy shrug that says, “Do whatever makes you happy.” It’s the courage to stand for truth when it’s costly, to value someone’s eternity more than their approval, and to hold fast to holiness— even when the world mocks it, tramples it, and perverts it into something it was never meant to be.
God doesn’t call something sin to be harsh or unloving — He calls it sin because it separates us from Him. In Romans 1:26–27, Scripture speaks clearly about homosexuality, naming it as contrary to His design. Yet today, these words are often brushed aside, reinterpreted, or outright rejected in the name of “love.” But this counterfeit love doesn’t lead to freedom — it leads people deeper into confusion and further from the life God longs to give. Scripture is not a barrier to joy; it’s a rescue map out of destruction.
Look at Jesus. When He met the woman caught in adultery, He didn’t belittle or shout condemnation at her — but He also didn’t excuse the sin that was wounding her. He offered mercy, then gave her the kindest command: “Go, and sin no more” (John 8:11). That’s what real love does. It meets us in our perversion, but it doesn’t leave us there. It invites change, redemption, and the beauty of a transformed life.
This doesn’t mean we walk around critically judging or speaking down to others with a condescending spirit. Scripture reminds us in Galatians 6:1, “If a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness.” Truth must always be wrapped in meekness — spoken not with haughtiness but with a concerned heart that longs to see healing. Our aim isn’t to condemn but to meekly lead others back to the arms of Jesus Christ, where grace and restoration await.
To anyone wrestling with same-sex attraction, please hear this: Jesus Christ sees you. He loves you more deeply than you can imagine. His grace is bigger than your battles with affirmation, loneliness, or the ache to be accepted. There is real hope, real healing, and a brand-new life waiting in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). No matter where you've been or what you've done, it is never too late to turn from sin and step into a new life of God’s design. I don’t speak as a distant observer — I’ve been there. I once lived that life, searching for love, fun, and belonging in all the wrong places. But God’s Word pierced through my confusion, His Spirit met me in my brokenness, and I courageously chose — by Christ’s strength — to follow His plan instead of my own. And now? I’m truly in love with Jesus Christ, experiencing a joy and intimacy no man could ever match.
To my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, I urge you: now is not the time for silence. The world is shouting louder than ever, but God’s Holy Bible hasn’t changed — it still speaks with authority and love. If we truly love the Lord, we will obey Him. And if we truly love people, we won’t sit silent as they wander blindly toward destruction. Love compels us to speak — not with wrath or pride, but with bold compassion.
This isn’t about winning debates or proving a point. It’s about faithfulness. And God provides us an excellent example of this in the Old Testament book of Ezekiel. Ezekiel 3:18–19 offers a sobering reminder: “When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way… his blood will I require at thine hand.” These are not just ancient words — they carry eternal weight. Whether or not people listen isn’t in our hands, but sounding the alarm is. Silence may feel safe, but it is not love. To love well is to warn well — even when it costs us everything.
Yes, you may be mocked. You might make people uncomfortable. But love has never been easy when it dares to confront sin. Love costs something. It’s bold. It takes risks. It steps into the mess — not to shame, but to rescue.
So as the rainbow flags wave and the voices grow louder this month, let us remember: real love doesn’t hide the truth. It holds it out with open hands and a tender heart. Let’s be faithful to God’s Holy Bible, fearless in our witness, and meek in our tone — because the truthful warnings we speak today might be the very thing that leads a soul to salvation with Christ Jesus.
Will you choose love today? The kind that speaks truth, even when it’s hard — not to win arguments, but to win souls? Eternity is at stake. Let’s love like it.
