Markell: The Rainbow Belongs To God, Not A Sinful Sexual Culture

Jan Markell

Believe me, I would much rather write about the Lord’s soon return than gay pride—or rather, gay depravity. God introduced the rainbow in Genesis 9. It was a part of a promise He made. A whole twisted movement hijacked it.

In America, the month of June is set aside to celebrate the gay lifestyle. But let’s be honest: the Western culture demands the near-constant celebration of homosexuality every day and every month of every year. Throw in the now celebrated trans agenda, and the culture decline is astounding. We are racing backwards to the days of Noah. Trans nudity was even celebrated on the White House lawn this week and may have trampled all hopes for a turn-around in America.

What Must God Think of “Queer All Year”?

But June of 2023 saw dozens of major retailers betraying conservative and Christian customers as they catered to this cultural collapse. “Queer all year” was the theme of retail America. Target lost billions in sales due to boycotts and others followed in lock step, more committed to an agenda than to corporate profits. We would eventually learn these retail outfits would be subsidized by globalist schemers.

Here is just a sampling of items offered to eager customers:

  • Homosexual and trans clothing for three-month- olds
  • Cookie rainbow houses for small children
  • Pet gear, pet toys, pet treats in rainbow colors
  • Pet chew toys that are guaranteed to turn a dog or cat gay
  • Rainbow jewelry in 14k gold
  • Pride-themed eyewear
  • Multi-colored pride cake mixes
  • Baby “always-proud” bibs
  • Special pride boxes of Pop-Tarts targeting youth on Instagram

Jesus Had Grace But Spoke Truth

Our Romans 1 culture celebrates this and as Christians, we must respond with grace, love, and kindness to every person trapped in the deadly blindness of the LGBTQ lifestyle. But, many once-solid churches and denominations are going along to get along and will not speak out about the biblical warnings. Jesus represented grace and truth.

There is no way to be kind and gracious while refusing to tell people the truth that the way of sin is the way of death (Luke 13:5). The path of sexual immorality that our culture insists is so wonderful, is actually a path to destruction.

God’s Throne and a Rainbow!

John sees a glorious throne of God surrounded by a rainbow (Revelation 4:3). That reminds us that the rainbow belongs to God, not a sinful sexual culture. God is so committed to the salvation of lost men and women that you can’t even gaze at His throne without seeing a shining symbol of redemption—the rainbow.

God, who created the rainbow and is, at this moment surrounded by one, will bring his people into a perfect and sinless world surrounded with glory, wonder, and rainbows. The rainbow is God’s. He is going to take it back. The truth is, he really never lost it. It is our job to point a confused culture to God and a pure life.

It’s All About ESG Scores!

Globalist outfits like Black Rock have promised corporations an impressive ESG (equity, social, governance) score if they will cooperate in today’s dark agendas. Impressive ESG scores compensate for customers abandoning them! 

God Has Said “Enough”

What did you think the last days would look like since we’re in the midst of them? Man’s sinful activity is begging for God to send His son to rescue His Bride from the depravity. It is sooner than you think!

Do Conservative Americans Crave The Temporary Societal And Political Blessings More Than We Crave Jesus?

Especially during the country’s 250th anniversary year, many Christians have fervently prayed for this nation. I, too, am burdened by the sin rotting America from within. I have loved ones who need to be saved. I see churches struggling to survive. I see Christians who aren’t walking closely with the Lord like they once did. I see neighborhoods destroyed by sin. Add to that the sheer insanity and unbridled brokenness filling this nation because its citizens are pursuing their own lusts. Oh, what a burden it is to ponder these realities! It is right to take them to God in prayer. I do, and will continue to pray over these things. However, I’m concerned that some Christians might be praying with the wrong motivation.

‘Treated As Disposable’: Same-Sex Couple Sues Surrogate Who Refused To Abort Baby With Minor Birth Defect

According to the lawsuit, the “intended fathers” demanded the termination at 22 weeks’ gestation. When the surrogate mother pushed back, the relationship collapsed. The same-sex couple is now accusing the surrogate of failing to keep them informed about the baby’s health, putting the child at risk, causing emotional distress, and violating confidentiality—all of which the birth mother has denied. As this legal battle unfolds in Canada, it spawns a number of ethical questions regarding the commodification of human life in an era of advancing reproductive technologies.

Called Out From The Culture: The Hope For America Is The Church

I believe that the hope for America is the church—God working through his church. Christians need to live up to their name. As Christ followers, we need to be Christlike. And if the church would be what it was meant to be, then it would change our nation. But let’s localize it. If your church would be what it ought to be, it could change your city. It could change your county, and it could change your state. Let’s localize it even more. If you would be what you ought to be as a follower of Jesus Christ and as a part of the church, then what a difference it could make in your church.
