It is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves –Psalm 100:3

So I go to youtube, looking for a hymn to post this morning. And right up there at the top of the page is the “rainbow” flag of Organized Sodomy, followed immediately by a selection of videos encouraging people to take “pride” in sexual practices condemned as abominations in the Bible. Even a special video on “Latino Drag Queens”!

Have I died and gone to Hell?

So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them –Genesis 1:27

But the image of God, which ought to be our glory, isn’t good enough for us anymore, not by a long shot. We want to be our own creators, to create ourselves. Sort of like Dr. Frankenstein cobbling together a body out of a lot of dead parts, zapping it with electricity, and bringing to life an artificial man created by a sinner. Should that have been expected to work out any better than it did?

But no–no more of this male and female stuff! We create ourselves, and we will choose our gender! God is just a big old hater and bully and we don’t need Him anymore, we never needed Him, and He doesn’t exist–we exist! The product of blind chance and Evolution! We create ourselves!

Hence the “pride” parades. Pride in sin. Pride in shame. Pride in Satanic rebellion against the sovereign Lord of all the Universe. That’s what this whole business is all about. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool.

O Lord Our God! When you judge this country, remember that these things are done without our consent, against our will, and over our objections. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Father in Heaven, on this day, the day between Good Friday and Easter, we proclaim that Jesus Christ Our Lord was dead and laid in a tomb, prior to His Resurrection. We proclaim these things as truth, now and forever.

Lord, this is an evil age. We have important people, even religious leaders, even leaders in the Church, making Christ equal with other gods who are no gods, and making unbelief equal with faithfulness to Jesus Christ. And because we see as men see, the things we see make even many of your saints downhearted.

We are your people, the sheep of your hand. Make us also, O Lord, your oxen, strong to labor.

Grant power to this Easter holiday, power to enthrone Christ, whose right it is to rule Creation: power to enthrone Him on the earth, and power to enthrone Him in our hearts. We cannot know when You, Father, will send your Son back to earth: that day, be it tomorrow or a thousand years from now, is known only to you. But Jesus’ throne can be set up in our hearts now.

O Lord Our God, whatever your timetable may be (for a thousand years in your sight is as a watch in the night), exalt Our Savior among the heathen, exalt Him in the earth: and let Him be exalted now, even now, in our hearts.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
