Episcopal Church Releases New Pride Shield

In this screenshot, you can see the Episcopal shield and the new rainbow-colored iteration:

During our most recent Answers News broadcast, Patricia Engler shared the interesting backstory behind the original Episcopal shield and what it stood for, and I encourage you to watch that at the link above.

Yes, the Episcopal church is showing their apostacy with this public declaration of their celebration of sin. And during the month of June, we likely will see other examples of “churches” compromising on the truth of God’s Word. But consider this warning from Scripture:

You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. (Matthew 5:13)

Our culture will always change what is “good” and “true.” An ever-changing culture cannot be the standard for truth to those who profess Christ.

This denomination has lost its saltiness. It is no longer a preservative against the rot of the culture nor is it the flavor of the gospel in the world. In an attempt to show the world how “loving” and tolerant they are, Episcopalians have left truth far behind and have hitched themselves to a perverse movement that will only push for the acceptance of more and more sexual sin, leaving hurting victims in its wake.

Our culture will always change what is “good” and “true.” An ever-changing culture cannot be the standard for truth to those who profess Christ. The only ultimate standard is the unchanging, eternal Word of God. That is a sure place to base our thinking now and forever.

The grass withers, the flower fades,
    but the word of our God will stand forever. (Isaiah 40:8)

And God’s Word clearly says,

He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?” (Matthew 19:4–5)
