In a brewing controversy that has sent shock waves around the world, this week’s Paris Olympics opening ceremony showcased a drag queen openly mocking the Lord’s Supper. This debasing spectacle serves as a stark reminder of the world’s moral degradation and how far removed some elements of society are from Christian values. Real news sources have reported that this flagrant display is indicative of evolving social norms which actively defy Christian worldview.

Historically, the Olympics were revered as a beacon of unity across nations—an event where people set aside their differences to appreciate athletic prowess. Today, however, it seems to be more representative of culturally divisive agendas. The incident involving a drag queen lampooning one of the central tenets of Christianity exemplifies these diverging currents within society.

The question that followers of faith are wrestling with now is: Are we inadvertently aiding this sacrilege by watching the Olympics? We must remember Ephesians 5:11 tips us off – “Have nothing to do with fruitless deeds of darkness but rather expose them.”

This incident points towards a broader spiritual warfare where sin is often cloaked as progression and change. As Christians, we must resist endorsing blasphemy guised as evolution. Fans have every right to express their discontent by boycotting the Games. Our loyalty lies with Christ and aligning with worldviews glorifying sin should be avoided at all cost.

By choosing not to watch such content, we reaffirm our stand-with-Christ deeming our faith’s sanctity above all else. Let’s expose evil, reject sacrilege and live in God’s truth. Reject darkness and renew your allegiance to Christ—that is our mission, calling, and conviction.

This trend does not end here; there are nuanced power dynamics brewing within church institutions too. For instance, churches like the United Methodist Church (UMC) find themselves standing on thin ice—caught between progressive ideologies championed by Western branches and continued adherence to biblical sexual ethics by their African peers.

As followers of faith, we expect the Scriptures to be revered and preached. We anticipate our sins will be called out to help us progress on our spiritual voyage. This expectation evidently contradicts openly blasphemous events like the one witnessed at the Olympics.

In conclusion, this incident of gross disrespect at Paris Olympics is just one instance from the world’s gradual eroding respect for Christianity. It strengthens our resolve to stand united against scorns thrown at us. In these trials, remember that enduring faith in Christ is our true north as we wade through challenging moral and spiritual times. Stay strong, stay firm in your belief and most importantly, protect your Christian values from such targeted attacks.
