Dealing Prudently With Gender Issues. Part [1] 04/18/2023 (Evening thought)

Joshua 24:15 And if it seems evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Younger people in our generation have to deal with issues that persons in years gone by never dreamed of, nor ever had to contend with. Indeed, it is a true statement that our world today is being plagued on an unprecedented scale, with problems that would make the people of Sodom and Gomorrah look like saints.

There are sensitive issues coming to the forefront of our conversations and deliberations, in high and low places, that persons might much prefer to avoid. But because those issues have now entered the church, and are quickly becoming so deeply entrenched, the trumpet will have to be given a certain sound. In the presentation of truth, political correctness, or social biases and preferences, and popular majority opinions, should never be allowed to taint, alter, or pervert the written word, for God has not called us to popularity, but rather to faithfulness.

When the servants of God are sent to deliver a very unpopular message, they are to pray and ask God for grace to do so without watering it down, for if they are found diluting the truth because of social pressures, the blood of those souls who are lost as a result would be upon their shoulders.

Ezekiel 3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou give him not warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
