Please read this, and think about how confused you would have been as a child if this had happened to you. It is a lost nation we live in!
Kindergarten Transgender Reveal, a "Pronoun Mishap" and Abandoning
God's Word

The craziness of a culture unhinged from the truth of God's Word
continues!
Two stories, both involving the same charter school in California,
have been
in the news recently because of transgender controversy. And both
stories highlight the confusion that results from abandoning the
absolute authority of
God's Word.
Apparently,
at the end of the school year a few months ago, a kindergarten teacher
read two kids' books dealing with transgender to her class. After
reading the books,
a male student got up and reportedly switched into girls' clothing and
was introduced to the class as a girl with a different name and
different pronouns.
Parents had not been notified this was going to happen, and many were
understandably upset about it, as were many of the children in the
class who were
confused and scared by it all.
Well, this academy is
back in the news again
because a first grader greeted this boy, who now identifies as a girl,
by his original male name, the name she knew him as all last year.
Reportedly,
the first grader was reprimanded on the playground and sent to the
principal's office to determine if the incident was bullying or a
genuine "pronoun mishap."
Apparently, the little girl was very upset from the incident and felt
as if she was being punished for greeting someone.
As schools and other institutions bend over backward to accommodate the
sinful behaviors of those in the LGBT community, we will only see
instances
like
this increase.
As schools and other institutions bend over backward to accommodate the
sinful behaviors of those in the LGBT community, we will only see
instances
like
this increase. It's very sad that this young boy (yes, he's genetically
and
physiologically a male), who believes he is a girl, is being encouraged to
forsake his God-given gender and embrace a sinful lifestyle that he
doesn't
fully understand. And it's equally sad that other children-very young
children-are
being indoctrinated in the secular transgender ideology.
But this kind of confusion is exactly what we expect from a culture that
has
abandoned the absolute authority of God's Word. Without an ultimate
standard
for what is right and wrong, "anything goes," just as it did in the days
of
the Old Testament judges when everyone did what was right in their own
eyes
Judges 21:25).
As Christians, we can reach out to a confused world with solid, biblical
answers. There are only two sexes-male and female. Because we are created
uniquely
by God, we don't have the authority to redefine sex and gender. We don't
own
ourselves; God owns us. Yes, because of sin and the Curse (
Genesis 3),
there are going to be cases where physical bodies are affected by sin, and
parents and doctors need to make informed decisions. And, yes, again
because
of sin and the Curse, there are going to be those who struggle with gender
dysphoria, even possibly from a very young age. But the answer is not to
encourage
people to reject God's design and embrace a sinful lifestyle, particularly
children. It's to point people toward the hope and freedom that can be
found
only in Jesus Christ and what he did for us on the Cross.
And that's the
message this world desperately needs to hear.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for
praying,
Ken
