God and Country Part 3
Gender Wars
People are engaging in the fight in at least one of three ways:
1. Expressing Confusion/Suspicion
2. Reacting with Affection/Rejection
3. Living in Rebellion/Submission
The reality of Gender Identity Disorder (Gender Dysphoria)
1. Original sin altered perfection. – Gen. 3:16-19
2. We are all born with sinful tendencies. - Psalm 51:5
Three current gender battles:
Battle One: The right of gender choice
· God creates us with a gender in mind. Gen. 1:27
Battle Two: The need for gender equality
· God values males and females equally. Gal. 3:28-29
· Gender arrogance is sin. Phil. 2:3
Battle Three: The modern view of gender roles
· God completed men with women. Gen 2:18
How do we officiate in this climate?
1. Value all people.
2. Call sin, sin.
3. Regard everyone as savable.
