“Male and Female He Created Them” (Genesis1:27b)
Why are we letting the fringes of society dictate lies to us? There is no confusion over gender, nor has there ever been. But we may say, “What is the source of all this gender confusion?” Once again these lies come from “The Father of Lies” (John 8:44) himself, Satan. God has the final say on gender. But there are some wanting to set aside this fundamental truth.
The absurdity in all of this is that you cannot change a person’s gender.
Sex is determined by our sex chromosomes. So much for sex hormone therapy and surgical procedures. Unsurprisingly, there are those trying to alter the basics of sexual genetics to fit their agendas, and continue promoting falsehood.
God is omniscient, meaning He is all knowing. All knowing means He has foreknowledge. God already knew mankind would come to this. So it is not a coincidence that God embedded the sex chromosomes into our DNA. It’s a done deal. It really is a no brainer. Clearly, God has the final say on gender. Yet, there are some who are giving credence to this foolishness.
What is being solicited as compassion and sensitivity to the feelings of others, is not based on truth.
Our behaviors cannot be determined by feelings and emotions. Feelings and emotions are not reliable and can be misleading. The point is our behaviors should be based on truth, and facts. Subsequently, what is going on may be spiritual, mental, emotional, or any combination of the three. Therefore, the source of the problem needs to be dealt with.
Quite deliberately, this agenda has gone so far as to include children. Parents beware, the latest addition to the public school curriculum is presenting gender as evolving in a child. Predictably, this will cause confusion in some. I consider this an act of cruelty upon the youth of today, certainly not an act of love.
Steering children and teenagers into error will have consequences for those pushing this agenda. Jesus said, “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea” (Matthew 18:6).
Unfortunately, some ill-informed parents are listening to this propaganda and are accommodating the behaviors of their confused children. Needless to say, these parents are creating a painful future for themselves and their child. As I mentioned before, feelings and emotions are not a litmus test for how we conduct our lives. Children can be steered in the right direction. In essence, this is what parents are called to do.
Jesus the great physician came to this earth for such people, whom He loves.
“It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick” (Luke 5:31). He is the great physician. Jesus came to help people like you and me, and those confused about gender and every other affliction under the sun. He is the God who restores and makes shattered lives whole again
There are some absolute and fundamental truths that cannot be averted. Human opinion cannot dictate how we conduct ourselves. God has the final say on gender, and everything else on this planet. After all, He is the Creator of the universe.
Just as God loves, we are called to love others while upholding his truth.
Reaching the gender confused with the love of God, sharing the gospel, and speaking the truth in love, is how we need to respond. Eventually someone struggling with this issue may cross our path. If we’ve been given this opportunity let’s lead them in the right direction. Undeniably, the right direction is the cross of Christ.
My young neighbor conversing with another neighbor said her son wanted to wear or did wear a princess dress in daycare. Another neighbor said “let him”. I do not know her well and kept silent. Perhaps I was wrong. If there is another opportunity I pray I say the right thing.
This is perfectly innocent, does not mean the child is gender confused; young children like to play dress up. Parents just need to say “no”, boys don’t wear dresses, and redirect the child. That simple. As a parent I would also want to know what was in the curriculum at the school the child attends.
Today on the 700 Club news ..a transgender boy insists on using the girls room. Of course this went to court and he gets to use the girls room! Maranatha!
This is not a civil rights issue. So sad how the majority is being subjugated to this mania. The child needs help, not laws to make him feel good about himself. Meanwhile the rights of everyone else are being overtaken. I wonder who is on the school board, where is the voice of teachers, other parents?
