Christians have welcomed the changes, knowing that humans—male and female—are made in the image of God, and it is sinful to despise what He has created for His glory. But these trends don’t change the fact that many people still believe that they can actually become the opposite sex. And regardless of federal policies, LGBTQ activists are doubling down.
“Every cultural institution, whether it’s the arts … [or] higher education is pushing this agenda.” As such, “a large part of this is that, especially for those who identify as transgender, there’s a social contagion that … is fueling those numbers,” which flourished under Biden, Closson noted. However, he added, for Christians, this is “an opportunity” to continue promoting the truth.
“The fight against gender ideology is far from over, and Alliance Defending Freedom is committed to seeing it through to the end. But today, the U.S. government switched sides in that conflict—from promoting the lie to defending the truth. We thank President Trump for his leadership on this crucial issue."
You are leading your children. You are either leading them toward life by teaching them what is right and good and true, or you are failing to teach them, and by default, allowing them to make up their own minds and form their own worldview from the world around them. In doing so, you are leading them toward death and destruction.
Are Christians really obsessed with homosexuality? We do speak to this issue often because, well, the culture is obsessed with it! Since so many people are being deceived, we must speak up and share biblical truth. That’s part of being salt and light in this culture.
Sadly, 41% of regular churchgoers do not have any biblical problems with homosexual marriages, and now Fuller Theological Seminary is looking at being more accommodating to that culture. And we wonder why 8 out of 10 Americans feel the church’s influence is declining.
Words have been redefined and used as weapons. Where’s the church? Where’s the resistance to this deadly, sinful ideology? Pride is an offense to God, and yet, some professing Christians support this.
As those who believe God’s Word and understand that what these individuals are celebrating is nothing short of bondage and slavery to sin, June can be a discouraging month. But it can also be more than that—it can be a month that tests our commitment to the truth of God’s Word.
Target, the Minneapolis-based retail giant, has announced it is cutting back on the number of stores that will carry Pride Month-related merchandise in June, a move that some observers view as a sign that its leftwing social activism has backfired.
"They should’ve just stuck with what they were founded to be 114 years ago," Graham underscored. "The Boy Scouts Oath says, 'I will do my best to do my duty to God...' It’s no surprise that thousands of parents are choosing other options"
Sadly, instead of throwing off the sin that entangles and disables (Hebrews 12:1-2), the UMC chose to embrace and welcome the sin, effectively changing the label from sin to "a matter of personal conscience." Did God change His mind?

The organisation’s lawyers argue that they can’t employ someone like Felix because his views on sex and gender might ‘damage’ the mental health of people identifying as LGBTQ+.

In the latest obvious attack on God, believers, and the biblical worldview, the Biden Democrats used a high-profile opportunity to offend Christians. Days before Easter, they banned religious (read “Christian”) images at the White House and also declared March 31 (Resurrection Sunday) the “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
“The Bible says, ‘…they proclaim their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them!’ (Isaiah 3:9). Judgment is coming,” he added. “Instead of celebrating sin, we need to confess our sins, repent of our sins, and ask for God’s forgiveness.”
“The rub, I think, comes in whether God defines homosexuality as sin. The answer is yes. But God goes even further than that, to say that we are all sinners—myself included."

The WHO is clearly involved in pushing transgender policies onto people of all ages, particularly children and adolescents, and we need to ask whether member states should start withholding money from it.
Kloosterman was called “evil” and a “liar.” “They also told me that I could not bring my Christian faith with me to the office either literally or figuratively,” she said. It ultimately led to her termination.

The Lee family is sharing the story of what happened to their daughter at age 12. She was asked to stay for “Art Club.” But it was not really art club. It was actually a Gender and Sexuality Alliance (GSA) club run by a woman who specialized in confusing children about their gender.
When we start with God’s Word, we know that children have a right to their parents—a right given by the God who gave children to their parents. But adults don’t have a right to have children, sacrificing the well-being and rights of children on the altar of adult desire.
TikTok, being fed by artificial intelligence, is providing a direct intravenous pathway into the hearts and minds of your students, telling them all kinds of things that are wrong.

On the one hand, Michigan leaders claim they want to protect young people, but the same leaders endorse dangerous trans experiments, I mean, “procedures” for children. Really?
Sadly, these LGBTQ-affirming professing believers are not pointing anyone toward Christ (the real Christ, not the cherry-picked version they have invented themselves) but rather are leading others away from Christ, away from repentance, and away from freedom from sin.
A California state bill presented to become law making it so that parents in custody battles who do not affirm the gender identity of their children may be liable for child abuse, and our President calls banning transgender-affirming care “sinful.”
Who are these “hateful” protestors? Reportedly, they are angry parents, trying to protect their children from being sexualized through LGBT indoctrination in local educational institutions.
Parents must examine curriculum, school policies, libraries, and more. Better yet, since government schools are on fire, resist the agendas, pull the alarm, and get your children (or grandchildren) out while there’s still time.
Is telling your son that Godcreated him as a boy and that he cannot become a girl (a truth from both God’s Word and biology—you can’t change your genetics even if you can modify your external appearance!) “abuse”?
Mainstream news organizations weren’t the only ones peddling misinformation. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser claimed at a press conference: “This was a made-up case without the benefit of any real facts or customers.”
“Instead of trying to create whoever it is that they want to be, people who are coming out of the transgender lifestyle and coming to Christ discover, like I did, that God created them—with an identity, with a purpose, with a plan.
“Once again this is government overreach, and the political cartel of Bonta, [Gov. Gavin] Newsom and [State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony] Thurmond is using their muscle and taxpayers’ dollars to shut parents out of their children’s lives."
“Parents know and love their children best; that’s why all kids deserve to have their parents help them understand issues like gender identity and sexuality"

Apparently, the city gave orders to the police to arrest people, three of them for the crime of praying and talking to attendees of the drag event because they were inside the park. They were arrested earlier in the day.
The biblical model of the family which is founded upon the history of creation being true is the only ground for human flourishing, and without it, society will collapse. The family is the creation of God, and no society gets to reinvent it.
Although many people are blind to this fact, this age is increasingly becoming characterised by Satan’s war on truth. The God that we worship is a God of truth. He not only speaks truth, but it is also part of His divine character.
Some people think there’s no harm in switching pronouns, dressing in different clothes and going by a new name. What’s the harm in that? Plenty, it turns out. Affirming children in a false gender identity causes real damage.
