Just last week, a pro-LGBT church in Boston was struck by lightning, and subsequently burned down!

Now, if someone bases their faith on the words of the Bible, it should be plain to them that the Bible does not speak of homosexuality in a favorable light. In spite of this, there has been an increase in the number of churches that have been welcoming of those in the LGBT community.

If someone’s perspective of their religion is Biblical, they might come to the conclusion that the Boston church has been struck by lightning in an act of divine intervention, due to the popular idea that those who do wickedly enough might be struck by lightning.

It was nearly two years ago that a similar occurrence had taken place when lightning struck a George Floyd mural in mostly clear skies, avoiding the telephone poles, street lamps, and taller buildings to go right for a mural made of brick, and apparently directly struck the image of George Floyd’s face!

This occurred after months of riots over the death of the drug addict who was slain by a police officer, and many spoke of Floyd in a way that elevated him to the status of an idol.

I know that some folk might write these occurrences off as coincidences. And, to be fair, sometimes lightning strikes. But sometimes, lightning strikes in such a way that might inspire pause for thought.

Perhaps it’s time for certain people who claim to be Christian to reevaluate what they stand for, and think about just how well their church holds up to Biblical standards.
