Proverbs 16:18-19 and a Barren Desert Rocks, Badlands National Park, South Dakota.

“Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.” Proverbs 16:18-19

The Bible Says Pride Leads to Destruction

The Bible doesn’t say much of anything good about pride. Time after time God’s Word condemns pride. At its very core pride says, “I am right in my own ways and in myself. I don’t need God nor do I need to follow His ways.”

When we see pride as the Bible describes it, it makes sense that the LGBQT?? community uses this word as their motto. And at its very core, this movement thumbs its nose at God and His created order to do things their own way and call them good. 

God calls each one of us to be humble and to walk in His ways. God’s ways are good, pure and lead to life. The LGBQT?? way does not lead to life. It cannot create life and only leads to destruction. No rainbows. Just faded, barren ground.

Pray for those caught up in homosexuality. Pray for our country.

Read all of Proverbs 16.
