Christian Soccer Player Refuses To Wear Gay Pride Jersey, Withdraws From National Team

Christian soccer player Jaelene Hinkle has withdrawn herself from the U.S. soccer team after it was announced that the squad would be wearing rainbow colored 'gay pride' jerseys in their upcoming game. She cited "personal reasons" for her refusal to play, according to The Christian Post.
The star proudly declares Colossians 3:23 on her Twitter which says: "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men." "If you live for people's acceptance, you'll die from their rejection," the tagline also notes on her profile.
Hinkle also notably converted a gay pride logo into a celebration of the cross on Instagram the same day the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage in 2015 while sharing her opinion on the decision.
"Jesus didn't come to save those who already believed in Him. He came so that the lost, rejected, and abandoned men and women would find Him and believe. I believe with every fiber in my body that what was written 2,000 years ago in the Bible is undoubtedly true. It's not a fictional book. It's not a pick and choose what you want to believe. You either believe it, or you don't. This world may change, but Christ and His Word NEVER will," she declared.
"My heart is that as Christians we don't begin to throw a tantrum over what has been brought into law today, but we become that much more loving. That through our love, the lost, rejected, and abandoned find Christ."
Then, she explained the true Biblical meaning of the rainbow symbol. "The rainbow was a covenant made between God and all his creation that never again would the world be flooded as it was when He destroyed the world during Noah's time."
"It's a constant reminder that no matter how corrupt this world becomes, He will never leave us or forsake us. Thank you Lord for your amazing grace, even during times of trial and confusion," she said.
"Love won over 2,000 years ago when the greatest sacrifice of all time was made for ALL mankind."

This is similar to an issue we have right now, with a famous tennis player in our country (Margaret Court) who was against gay marriage and was calling for a boycott against Qantas who happened to support this issue.  But unlike Ms Court, Jaelene had called for more love and understanding of those people, otherwise they have no hope of 'finding Christ' as long as they are 'lost, rejected or abandoned'.
