Something I was thinking about recently: The LGBTQI+ community celebrates their pride with a rainbow flag. The Bible says that the rainbow is a symbol of God's promise that He will never destroy mankind again by flood (Gen. 9:12-17).

Instead of accepting that we are flesh, we put on a façade that makes us more like plastic. When someone is caught in sin, however, it is unfortunate that it is often the religious crowd within the walls of a church building that condemn and rouse, instead of care and restore. ...
