Speak Truth

March 20, 2021
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.  If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
John 15:18?-?19

In a paraphrase of Charlie Kirk “There is a God- and the individual is not Him.”

As we see society crumble before us it is because without God’s Truth being lived by, acknowledged and shared boldly, much of the world has decided to make up their own ‘truth’.

Example #1:
A School in NYC is encouraging students to not use the term ‘mom and dad’ as that is not inclusive language for all children. Instead say folks, guardians or adults. But God’s truth found in the Bible has solidified moms and dads in the household:

“Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Deuteronomy 5:16

This school sadly operates with the name Grace Church School. This is not Grace they are teaching by doing this. These are lies. This ‘Church’ School, if they do not learn the Bible and learn to acknowledge the Truth of God will be spit out of His mouth.

“So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”
Revelation 3:16

We also cannot be lukewarm in these matters. God is clear about EVERY aspect that comes up in society today- just as he has been since the beginning of time. I will acknowledge that some children are living with grandparents or perhaps even caregivers or foster parents but mom and dad is still a structure that God has established. So don’t let people tear it down without you speaking against it.

Example #2
Equality act- Equality by definition: the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities.

If this act goes through, then those who agree with the act will be considered equals and those who don’t will be considered cruel, uneducated, bigoted individuals.
They are not aiming for equality. Instead one of their purposes is to confuse the younger generations even further. Being transgender is a trend these days. One lesbian woman in an interview I will link below said that “The T is becoming dominant in the LGBTQ and a girl who is a bit more tomboy, who would have made a great lesbian, is now being told she should just become a man.”
Did you know that a transgender adult is ten times more likely to commit suicide? Did you know that up to 50 percent of transgender teens attempt suicide and many are successful? Did you know many lesbians do not support this act as it allows biological males into locker rooms, bathrooms and sports? Did you know that many individuals with a left voting stand and transgender individuals themselves DO NOT support this act?
So if their own community is speaking against it why are we being brainwashed as Christians to think we need to go with the flow. WE DON’T!

This act is not about equality. It is about eliminating God’s truth that we are created human beings. God created us as male and female and in the image of God (note the words ‘in HIS IMAGE’ we are not our own individual gods). Genesis 1:27

The American Psychiatric Association also says gender dysphoria is a mental disorder. Like anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders etc. One of the reasons they are encouraging this Equality act is to lead our youth deeper into a mental disorder that could- in fifty percent of cases- lead to death. Does that sound like equality or does that sound like genocide of our young people?

We SHOULD NOT be affirming children under age 18 to change genders hormonally.
*If you don’t want to accept Biblical truth as standard, then please listen to those within the community speaking against this. It should not be done before the age of 18. And if done after please note there are severe mental health side effects that these individuals will always suffer with*

People SHOULD NOT be held responsible of a crime if we try and encourage our child or those around us to remain the gender God created them and that they have value and worth as His creation.

Churches and people speaking against this act should not be labeled as transphobic, homophobic bigots or hateful- this is not hate speech.
Christians can speak. God can speak.
Churches can speak.
Heterosexuals can speak.

God loves transgender, gay and lesbian individuals way more than the people making these laws. He loves all people reading this. God is the reason we can even have conversations because He first gave us life for us to use our minds and speak and think. He also made salvation available to all, confirming us as equal opportunists and able to receive salvation. Jesus died for all people that would turn from and repent of their sin and believe in Him.

I have many people I know and love who identify as LGBTQ.  I am not judging you, I am not homophobic or transphobic. The only thing I would say, as I EQUALLY say to individuals I come in contact with….

Have you considered your eternal status? Do you know where you will go when you die?

One sin is enough to keep us from heaven. Just one. And I’m not sure about you but my first sin was at a very young age and I was notorious for lying all through my younger years. Since that young age, I have sinned numerous, uncountable times. I do not deserve heaven. God cannot allow imperfection to be in heaven with Him. We cannot earn our way. We have missed the mark. Myself included.

But God being rich in mercy knew that as a human race we were prone to sin, prone to lying, stealing, cheating, sexual immorality, drunkenness, murder, adultery, covetousness and many others. And instead of God saying I guess all of you are out….No one lives up….so I’ll stay in heaven by myself with the angels.

He INSTEAD sent His son Jesus, born as a baby to grow up, live a perfect life and die on the cross. Jesus paid the price for my lying, my drunkenness, my idolatry, my vanity. He died and because of His death paid the penalty of sin and now if we put our trust in Him, repent and turn away from the sin that traps us, we can then take part in His Resurrection and we will be able to live forever in Heaven. Three days after Jesus died, He rose again. He lives in heaven and He is coming back to take His children, (those who believe in Him) to heaven. And He will judge the rest of those who have refused to believe. God no longer sees me as missing the mark for all eternity but instead He sees Jesus, who took my place. I can do nothing on my own and before putting my faith in Jesus, I had a one way ticket to hell. And as much as this world wants you to think it is a party down there. It is not. It is a place of eternal weeping, sorrow, fire, pain and torture.

The free gift of salvation- abundant life, blessing, joy and restoration is a prayer away. This free gift will restore you to your Creator and you will find true peace and true acceptance.

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
Romans 3:23?-?24

Society is omitting God’s truth and replacing it with lies. They are being inclusive of everything EXCEPT Truth found in the Bible and  because of this anything in objection to their ‘truth’ will be viewed as hate speech.

We need to speak while we can! There will come a day that speaking in a public forum will be much more difficult. Fact checkers will cancel posts like this.

In many ways we do not need to be alarmed because the Bible says this has happened:

They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Romans 1:25

But while it is still Today, I am encouraging you to STAND FIRM in the Armor of God and continue to share truth. Remember we are standing and fighting from a place of VICTORY. Speak the Truth in Love.

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
1 Peter 3:15

The Lord Bless you and Keep you,

Kara
