Freedom to Go 'n Grow Together in Christ
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
Genesis 2:24 (NIV)
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
Matthew 19:4-6 (NIV)
Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”
Hebrews 13:4-7 (NIV)
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
Ephesians 5:22-28 (NIV)
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV)
LGBT, Homosexuality & Related Issues
Jan '21 - Jun '21
(06/29/2021) If You Can Change Your Sex Can You Change Your Race? No.
(06/28/2021) ‘Pride’ Night at the Old Ballpark. If one were to declare themselves to be proud of being heterosexual and monogamous, they would be attacked and accused of "homophobia," bigotry and worse. There was a time when sinful behavior was openly discouraged. Now it is demanded of us that we not only accept it, but approve of it. Romans 1 is playing our right before our eyes. Question: who, exactly, made June "pride month?"
(06/27/2021) High school blaring sexual identities over its loudspeakers, So you can't opt out. That is the thing about the left - seldom right, always certain. And you must toe their line.
(06/26/2021) What Would Jesus Say About Gay Pride? Probably the same things he'd say about any group that takes pride in rather than repents of a particular sin.
(06/23/2021) Grab The Flag! Trans Athlete Threatens To Burn Old Glory at Tokyo Olympic Games. He / she / it / them / whatever has no business being on the United State Olympic team. Go to one of those counties you presumably love and represent them. You definitely do not represent the USA. Lots of citizens love to hate America. Those that are public about it tend to be people who could easily afford to leave for another country. But none of them do. Why is that?
(06/21/2021) Biden DOJ: Preventing Males From Competing 'Does Nothing' to Protect 'Athletic Opportunities for Girls.' It doesn't?
(06/11/2021) The left is working overtime to sexualize your children. We are talking "pride" month here. Nothing like glorifying sin. What is even more horrifying is that if you merely promote heterosexual sex within marriage - without criticizing anything else - you will be condemned as a hater and apologies will be demanded. But glorifying sinful and very unhealthy lifestyles is to be applauded.
(06/11/2021) Caitlyn Jenner Rejected By The Transexual Community And Accused Of Being A Hypocrite. Of course there are hypocrites everywhere. But it is a bit rich coming from the "woke" community that demands that if you are a leftie on anything, you must be a leftie on everything, no matter how insane.
(05/28/2021) Spanish MP suspended from Twitter after declaring 'a man cannot get pregnant': 'Fascist biology.' It should be noted that the suicide rate for those that undergo "sex change" treatment is just as high as for those with "gender dysphoria" that do not. I don't know whether the rate goes down for those that get treatment for their mental issues or not. It would be worth knowing, would it not? But rest assured that the activists would shut down any reporting of studies that showed an improvement. As with everyghing else the left gets involved in, the objective is furthering an agenda, not actually helping people.
(05/27/2021) USA Today Edits Teen Girl’s Op-ed for ‘Hurtful’ Language on Trans Athletes. She called boys that compete in girl's sports "male." It is bad enought that we have raised millions and millions of snowflakes and pansies. But they now get to dictate to everyone else.
(05/23/2021) Anger ensues after pro-trans book read to 1st graders. But school board president — who runs 'all ages' sex shop — says 'vitriol' shows need to 'support trans kids.' Sheesh.
(05/11/2021) The First 'Transgender Bishop' Shows How Churches Abandon Christianity. I find it shocking and appalling just how many churches and denominations have decided that they are smarter and wiser than God Almighty. Did God really say what he clearly said? No, they declare. We know better. Satan has a lot of useful idiots to work with. Appeal to pride. And what can be more prideful than imagining oneself to be smarter and wiser than God?
(05/09/2021) Happy “Birthing Persons” Day! The Left latches on to every new fad, no matter how nonsensical. And they demand that we go along. Instead, latch on to truth that is constant and doesn't change with with the wind and waves - God's truth.
(05/08/2021) Megan Rapinoe Twists Language to Support Transgender Athletes. I'm interested to see what she thinks if a couple dozen "women" athletes try out for the US women's soccer team and Rapinoe ends up on the outside looking in.
(05/07/2021) The Gender Non-Reveal: How Gender-Neutral Parenting Harms Kids. We have twin grandkids, just shy of one year old. A girl and a boy. I should say one all girl and one all boy. No training or encouragement necessary. Now can you imagine parents interfering with what is naturally occurring. Nothing good can come of this. It is 100% total nonsense.
(04/27/2021) Little college could create big ruling over First Amendment. This has to do with the Feds mandating that colleges must allow men who "identify" as women to live in women's dorms. The world has gone insane. Or this administration has.
(04/20/2021) NCAA backs males competing in women's sports, as showdown looms with Florida over pending law. It is rather appalling how many institutions have been taken over by the Left, now including the NCAA. The NCAA wants to destroy women's sports? But they will have to back down if enough states do the right thing. And quite a few are doing just that. It is a shame most colleges don't have the guts to do the same.
(04/17/2021) This Progressive Pastor, Who Hates Oppression, Preaches Beliefs That are Certain to Create It. The problem with this pastor isn't that he is gay, it is that he is committed to postmodernism rather than biblical truth. This isn't unique to homosexuals.
(04/01/2021) CNN Article Makes Insane Claim About Newborn Babies And Gender. According to CNN, there is no consensus regarding how to determine a baby's sex at birth. This from believers in the "party of science and reason." What is remarkable is that just a few years ago, no one on the Left would have bought in to this nonsense. But, like lemmings, the narrative changes and they dutifully follow, no matter how much it contradicts what they used to believe.
(03/31/2021) Former Students Sue to Force LGBT Orthodoxy on Christian Colleges. For how long, now, has it been that we keep being assured by the LGBT lobby that "just this one thing and we will be satisfied"? They will never be satisfied.
(03/30/2021) Trans woman accuses TSA of being 'transphobic': 'Going through the scanner, I always have an "anomaly" between my legs that sets off the alarm.' The anomaly might be referred to as male parts. It is disturbing that people get outraged when others act perfectly sensibly and rationally, but not to their liking.
(03/30/3031) Catholic League: Sex Transitioning Kids Is ‘Child Abuse.' Of course, any rational person knows this and doesn't need to be told. The fact that so many don't is yet another condemnation of our education system. Why is our education system so abysmal? Because it has largely been taken over by the Left.
(03/29/2021) Trans female MMA fighter who delivered 'life-altering blows' to female competitor is 'bravest athlete in history,' LGBTQ outlet claims. Nothing brave about it. Rather, there is something sick about a man - "trans" female or not - who is willing to fight and destroy actual women in the ring. And there is something sick about a society that allows it to happen.
(03/28/2021) Dems obviously 'all in' supporting childhood sex changes. It sure looks like it. Are we going to do anything about it?
(03/28/2021) Trans Reddit Mod Under Fire for Inviting Minors to Their Home for Hormone Shots, Behind Parents Backs. Instead of being "under fire," this person should be under arrest.
(03/24/2021) Two Republicans Vote for Trans HHS Staffer Who Defended Subjecting Kids to Chemical Castration. Shocking, yes. But isn't it even more shocking that not a single Democrat opposer "her."
(03/23/2021) How The Equality Act Would Legalize Religious Bigotry. And the author only covers some of the issues involved.
(03/23/2021) FNC’s Carlson to Gov. Noem on Girls’ Sports Transgender Bill: ‘You’re Caving to the NCAA — I Think That’s What You’re Saying?’ It is amazing how quick and easy it is to destroy credibility that took considerable time and effort to build. Very, very sad.
(03/20/2021) Alabama Senate passes bill that would ban hormone therapy, surgery for transgender minors. It is amazing that we have to resort to pass such laws. But such are the times in which we live.
(03/13/2021) Father Faces Arrest and Jail Time For Trying To Stop Doctors From Transitioning His Middle School Daughter To A Boy. This is in Canada. The world has gone mad and our nation (as well as others) is being run by lunatics.
(02/25/2021) The Equality Act. This bill is worse than a mere disaster for anyone who takes Scripture seriously. It is a disaster for vast numbers of small business owners. It is a disaster for girls' and women's sports. It is a disaster for non-profits. And more. Naturally the media is not going to be telling people just what this bill will do. Read the article. Note that while Trump may have made three appointments to the Supreme Court, the odds are not good that the Court would overturn this legislation even though some aspects are clearly unconstitutional. Why? "Precedent" will be the excuse.
(02/10/2021) Hospitals Instruct Midwives to Use Terms ‘Chest Feeding’ and ‘Human Milk’ to Be ‘Gender Inclusive.’ Now in Great Britain, soon to be here?
(02/02/2021) Twitter Blocks Focus on the Family. For what? for factually describing what a transgender is, using no pejoratives. The Democrats want social media - and others - to suppress "hate speech." They are already censoring the truth. Do you have any doubts as to where this will lead if not vigorously opposed? Try this out: Democrats ‘Think It Is Fine to Mobilize the Army in Order to Put Down Domestic Opinions.’
(01/31/2021) Twitter mocks Jen Psaki for nonsensical gender identity answer to question about stock market chaos. She may be mocked, but emphasis on race and gender is going to continue. I suppose mocking is better than nothing, but we need to do more that mock. We've been mocking nonsense from the Left for some time, but our mocking goes for naught as they keep getting their way.
(01/20/2021) Joe Biden’s villainous pick for Assistant Secretary of HHS, Dr. Rachel Levine's only real qualification is being transgender. Any objective look at her "accomplishments" would reveal that they are almost all negative. Her performance as Pennsylvania's chief health official makes this clear. Yet any criticism of her actual record will be attacked as an attack on "her" personally, because she is transgender. This is part of the cancel culture - speak the truth about the progressive narrative and the objective qualification of progressives, and the problem is not the actual truth, the problem is you! You will be attacked unmercifully and called all sorts of nasty names, none of which are true. Is it any wonder that so many are just letting themselves be canceled rather than put up with all the hate directed at them? Yet the fewer that speak up, the more intense the hate directed at those who do dare to speak the truth. We should all dare to speak the truth, share some of the burden, and more importantly, help get the truth out. To be blunt, many have never even heard the truth - just the narrative.
(01/20/2021) Biden calls Buttigieg’s husband ‘Kirsten,’ snubs gay GOP cabinet member. Now if a Republican had said these things, the knives would be out. Why? Because we know Republicans are bad people and this just confirms it! So why no outrage when Biden says it? Because Democrats are good people and obviously this was just a case of misspeaking. Such is what qualifies as "thinking" these days. Just sign on to a narrative - liberals good, conservatives bad - and the narrative does all the work for you. You don't have to get you brain involved at all. And sadly, it is our schools that are the guiltiest when it comes to teaching our kids and youth to not think.
(01/15/2021) ACLU lawyer: The arguments over allowing trans women to compete in girls’ sports are rooted in ‘misogyny and white supremacy.’ One problem we have is that people who actually believe such total nonsense as this are immune to facts and rational argument. And if they don't actually believe it but say it anyway, they are committed to an ideology and narrative that makes them immune to facts and rational argument.
(01/08/2021) Wake-up call: Pelosi's 'gender-neutral' push a sign of things to come. It is important that we recognize - and act upon - the fact that the Left is constantly pushing the envelope. It isn't just big things not and then. They are constantly at work whether it is little things or big. The little set the stage for the big and they go largely unresisted.
(01/06/2021) Study: Trans Women Still Have Athletic Advantage Over Women After Year Of Hormone Therapy. The news media acts surprised. Is anyone else surprised? Let me state a simple fact: "trans women" are not women. They are men trying to pretend they are women. That is a fact. It is biology. Screaming science, science, science does not make it science that you are, in reality, whatever gender you want to be. It is bad enough to suffer delusions. It is far worse to try to make others suffer your delusions right along with you.
(01/04/2021) Dizzying 27 alternate pronouns displayed on college business school application — along with an 'other' option. It is bad enough that some people come up with totally absurd ideas. What is worse is that so many actively participate. And worse still is that so many who know that it is all nonsense go along or keep silent.
(01/01/2021) What in the Name of Foghorn Leghorn is Wrong With The Cartoon Network? They are indoctrinating your kid on "gender pronouns." Well, that isn't all. Remember that the Left is 100% comfortable with bringing in their latest narrative, no matter how false or just plain stupid, into everything that they are involved in. It used to be (long ago) that parents could be reasonably confident that shows directed at kids would either reinforce their values or at least not be contrary to those values. That is not the case today and parents need to be vigilant.
