Earlier this month I wrote a post on My thoughts on the news of a church flying Christian flag over American flag in which I argued about how much a non-story it was for the media to pick up on it, among other things. On Sunday some Conservative alternative source of news mentioned about the City of Reno flying the Gay Rainbow flag in place of the American flag over their city hall. The city has since taken down the gay flag and put back the American flag and the mayor has issued an apology.
I think this ought to be a bigger news story than the one about the church flying a Christian flag above the American flag. This is the civil government we are talking about and not some non-government organization.
I thought it was interesting Huffington post has a story on “Pastor Flies Christian Flag Above American Flag To Protest Gay Marriage” but if you do a search on their page for “Reno flag” you won’t find anything.
Now I don’t want to make too much about flags per se but I think all the news about flags definitely reveal the hearts of people and where our society is going.
Think of how Obama had the White House glow at night with the the colors of the Rainbow flag soon after the Supreme Court supported same-sex so called marriages but take days before the White House flag was half-mast for the dead Marines and Sailor killed in Tennessee.
By their flags you will know them.
Maybe Westboro Baptist Church can modify one of their signs to read “God hates flags” ?
Haha, good one Michael. Good to see you around here again brother.
I never really left! Just haven’t commented as much. Wrote a little myself lately. I particularly liked this piece: http://michaelcoughlin.net/blog/index.php/2015/07/the-face-of-evil/
Sorry I should have clarified more. Heading over to check it out now!
It is so strange how everyone somehow knows that our flags are symbols of our allegiances.
The Christians fly a Christian flag in order to show that their ultimate allegiance is to Christ, not the state (even though the “Christian flag” creeps me out a bit…). The city hall of Reno Nevada flies a rainbow flag instead of an American flag in order to try to show support for the ‘sexual deviancy’ movement above support for the nation. I say ‘sexual deviancy’ movement since there’s no unified ‘movement’ outside of a loose association of exclusive activists supporting innumerable forms of sexual deviancy with the hopes of utilizing the success of one form to promote a second form, the second of which is condemned by the first.
The leaders of America no longer have American interests in mind, and they’re not subtle about it. Heck, they’re not even conscious of America any more. It’s just a utilization of the powers and resources of the state to promote personal sexual pursuits, regardless of their effect to anyone other than the self.
Good assessment especially concerning thinking of this in the paradigm of sexual deviancy. And it’s not just that the leaders of America is only having this agenda above the country of America, it’s also being promoted worldwide as we see with Obama’s trip to Kenya. Well, there are exceptions…I can’t really see Obama advance his homosexual agenda and gay rights to Iran or the Saudis. When their Islamic, he just appease them.
Ha! Trying to sell ‘gay rights’ to Saudis. That’s rich!
“Woe to those who put good in the place of evil and evil in the place of good.” Judgment Day is coming and God will set all things straight in the world. The rainbow flag is an insult to God’s people but if we refuse to allow the insult into our hearts, it will lose its power. If we keep God first in our lives, God will turn back the tide of evil that presently is a threat. Fear God and don’t be afraid of evil people lost in wickedness.
Amen

Thanks for sharing this Vincent! Hope you are having a good evening
You’re very welcome Pastor Jim! I am hope you are as well!
Php 3:18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.
Php 3:19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.
Sobering passages from Scripture that puts all this homosexual agenda in perspective
Sad days lie ahead I am afraid. all of these things are indicative of the direction our society has chosen to take. May God have mercy upon our nation.
Indeed, the signs of our depraved country isn’t good…I pray for God to bring a heavy conviction of sin to this country in order to see people come to salvation
Sigh
Sometimes, that’s all we can do…and pray
This is so sad . . .
It is so tragic as you said it!
