Response to President Richard Hart's call for Loma Linda University to Celebrate Pride Month

On July 12, 2022, Dr. Richard Hart, President of Loma Linda University Health, circulated his monthly letter entitled "Notes from the President" (See Fulcrum7). From the outset, Dr. Hart writes a fine letter that every Christian can agree with. But then he takes a turn that the Christian cannot condone. I'll quote fully the concluding paragraphs of Dr. Hart's letter where he appeals to the reader to treat the sexually immoral with compassion and according to his dictates of justice:

"We have just ended the month of June, designated as "Pride Month." This is a societal attempt to recognize the lives of those who identify as LGBTQI. The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact LGBTQI individuals have had on history and to acknowledge the prejudice and hate many have experienced. In addition, it is an opportunity for those who do not identify in this way to connect and support. When Loma Linda University Health participates in months of recognition, we are working to heal and restore relationships, as I believe Christ calls us to do. May each of us open our hearts to all those around us who are deserving and in need of this love and acceptance."

What an upside-down world it is where Loma Linda, whose core values include humility, can celebrate pride! Where Loma Linda can encourage the sexually immoral to incur the wrath of God by continuing down their road to judgment in the name of "justice!"

It is with the spirit of Jesus that all Seventh-day Adventist Christians must call out to Loma Linda University, its president, and its board. "Repent from your deceitful mischief! Are the rainbows that glisten in the sunlight, adorning the eastern façade of your new hospital, a symbol of immorality? Cover them! Repent of all the lost opportunities you have squandered, seeking after worldly things! Use your knowledge of the law of God, both written in the Bible and written on the laws of nature, to heal others from sin. Show the sexually immoral the truth, show them their sin, show them love, but never encourage their pride. Encourage their humility and repentance, that they may know the Lord and escape justice."

Ezekiel 33 sets forth the Christian's duty to warn others. When we fail to warn others, their sins are upon our heads. When we warn them, and they do not respond, their sins are upon their own heads. But best of all, when we warn them with the love of Jesus, and they repent, God hides their sins, and they shall live. God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn away from their sins and live. We are the watchmen. We have a duty to warn the world. What will you do?
