Discover the Divide

Dare to explore what lies behind the cognitive dissonance that drives some to reject or fear Christianity itself. When a dividing line forms between Christ’s ambassadors and any people group, it should raise a red flag.

Instead, it is a rainbow flag that symbolizes the justification for division.

The Rainbow Promise

Some Christians say that the rainbow was stolen by the LGBTQ community. The beautiful full-spectrum rainbow was a covenant of mercy from God to all humanity. His promise cannot be stolen. It is for all people — just as the Gospel is for all people.

The six-colored rainbow flag represents LGBTQ+ diversity.

It was created in 1978 for Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official, who was assassinated for daring to live and not hide.

Ignorance Fuels the Fire

Queer pride events aren’t about indoctrination. Indoctrination is a myth. Pride is about connection and standing together in unity to face hate and misunderstanding.

When the faith community fails to stand with victims of hate crimes, it reveals a deeper issue. Their ignorance fuels the very fire of hate.

Reflection

What defense mechanisms are needed to protect oneself from harm and rejection?

The Heart of the Bible

What does the Bible really say about marriage and gender? The heart of Scripture beats with God’s covenant love. Marriage was designed as a reflection of that covenant — a living image of divine faithfulness and sacrificial love.

When we look through this lens, we begin to see God’s design differently.

The details of creation have purpose and meaning, but they are only part of a grander story — the story of a God who invites all to oneness.

Reflection

If God’s covenant love is the true model of marriage, then is our definition of marriage a reflection of covenant love, or is it preserving our tradition?

Removing the Obstacle

For generations, the Church has defined marriage through the lens of gender and procreation. But the heart of God’s story tells us there’s more. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture points us back to the faithfulness of covenant.

Removing the gender barrier doesn’t compromise the Bible’s authority. It restores its heart.

These monogamous unions are not defined by gender but represent spiritual oneness. Marriage is a living reflection of God’s covenant love in tangible, faithful ways.

Reflection

Could our gender-based definition of marriage be the very obstacle that keeps Christians from inviting LGBTQ+ people into the Body of Christ?

Affirming Action

Affirming LGBTQ+ people in faithful, monogamous relationships doesn’t distort Scripture — it fulfills it.

Heterosexual people have long embraced cultural norms so deeply that they often go unnoticed in our churches. We return to Scripture by embracing the principle that we should seek to say with our bodies what we are able and willing to say with the rest of our lives.

Same-sex marriage that is rooted in honoring God through covenant love and faithfulness is not conformity to cultural norms. It is honoring the heart of Scripture.

Spiritual Oneness – Marriage and Messages

The Bible never defines marriage solely by gender.

The history of His-story moves toward and culminates in the de-emphasis on gender:

“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free, male nor female — for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
— Galatians 3:28

This does not erase our uniqueness. The Potter creates as He wishes, and all are acceptable when elevated by relationship with Christ above all distinctions.

Christ’s Love for the Church

Marriage demonstrates a self-giving love — one that is willing to give everything for the other.

One Flesh Unity

Beyond the physical, marriage signifies a deep emotional and spiritual connection.

A couple is to be unified in their hearts, minds, and wills.

Reflection

If we are all one in Christ, why would marriage be defined by gender?

The Model in Scripture

Old Testament:
Marriage often reflected cultural norms such as patriarchy and polygamy, yet God infused it with covenant meaning.

New Testament:
Marriage points to a higher ideal of equality and mutual love, modeling Christ and His Church.

Today’s Church:
Too often, gender in marriage is emphasized over covenant, and roles over relationship. The focus on biology can overshadow the qualities that reflect God’s love.

Reflection

If Scripture points toward equality, how can the Church reflect anything less?

Marriage in Heaven

“Let us rejoice and be glad, for the wedding of the Lamb has come.”
— Revelation 19:7–9

Earthly marriage points to this ultimate covenant — the union of Christ and His redeemed.

Every covenant we honor here rehearses the eternal wedding celebration to come.

Reflection

How can we better reflect heaven’s love here on earth?
