White House transgender order called 'outrageous'

sermonindex May 15, 2016


The Obama administration directed public schools and universities today (May 13) to permit transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms corresponding to their gender identity instead of their biological sex.

The across-the-board guidance met quick protests from Southern Baptist leaders.
Ronnie Floyd, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, described the federal guidance as "an outrageous attack on our Creator Himself, human sexuality and morality, and an advancement of the attack against religious freedom."
"Gender is not fluid ... but a gift from God to each of us," Floyd said in written comments for Baptist Press, adding the directive "contributes to the continual chaos in our society." ...

Romans 1:18-32 New International Version (NIV)

God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities””his eternal power and divine nature””have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator””who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

This is truly another disturbing sign. Gross darkness is in the land and is covering it quickly. The lines are being drawn and neutrality will not be allowed to be an option. The truth is going to find us out.........bro Frank

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
(Heb 4:12-13)

I'm all for a national boycott of national resistance to this "thing" from Obama. This would fall well within obeying the dictates of one's conscience.

Obama is poking the bear. Lets see if the bear wakes up.

Or remains asleep.

Mobilize? Take to the streets? The phones? The letters?

Or remains asleep.

Wake up dear ones! We have a turn it around God. Fight for right. Dont lay down and believe it is all over. God is using all that the devil has meant for evil for good. Satan thinks he is winning. He is not.

Arise church and take the land!

I wrote this poem a couple of years ago with this kind of darkness in mind............

Dark comes the night.

It is not a pleasant thing
To walk into the wind
To walk in shades of grey
To dwell where all have sinned

It is a pleasant thing
To walk with you each day
To fellowship , to honor
To worship and obey

Each day the wind grows stronger
And the proud are standing tall
Each day the tide is coming in
And the pillars begin to fall

Truth lies broken in the street
And the structures are on fire
The Vandals and the Visigoths
Draw men into the mire

Sinking, slowly, unaware
Into the miry clay
Rebellious men without a prayer
Sinking deeper every day

When did the day become the night?
And all around is falling
When did the darkness quench the light?
And drown out God’s own calling.

Godless men rejoicing
In the darkness they call light
They are singing and they’re dancing
And arming for the fight

Oh children of the Living God
Find refuge neath His wings
Run now into your Tower
For we can see what this night brings

The hordes of hell are massing
The wolves are circling round
And evil is surpassing
With a mighty rushing sound

Yet Christ in all His glory
Is coming for His own
The culmination of His story
Ends with Him upon His throne

Stand fast ye children of the light
For though the day has come the night
We shall prevail and overcome
For Christ the battle He has won!

Sooo.... Has anyone anywhere got any news stories of picketing, pulling kids out of schools? Anything?

Does the church snore on?

Linda, do you mean does the frozen chosen continue to snore. :-) Thank God I live in Texas, we told them to go jump in the lake.

Texas can secede right? You're gonna have your own gold backed currency next year if you want.

Texas is the most dangerous state in the union to the powers that be. Jade Helm at the ready.

Anyone want to rent a room to me from Texas. Or let me boondock? Ill buy a livable van.

If you are the only state to stand, then I wanna be a red blooded american Christian to stand with ya'll.

MrBillPro May 16, 2016

"Texas is the most dangerous state in the union to the powers that be."

Amen! if others would follow, it would help the whole cause. Texas told them to keep your federal funding, that we will find a way, and in Jesus name we will. I do believe that in life, the pendulum does eventually swing back the other direction, I think we are beginning to see it now.

With all this wrong that's going on here in this country, what we need is A VOICE from the pulpit. We could have that voice, if they would give up their tax exempt status, but it appears that money is more important to the church than morals.

P
Pnutty May 17, 2016

A voice? I dont want a voice. I want ALL the voices.

Million billion dollar Christian TV networks. Massive power.

May they burn in hell. My opinion of course. Dont think Im in trouble with my Lord for saying it.

"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

MrBillPro May 17, 2016

Amen! Linda, don't know how the old school pastors ever made it having to actually have a job during the week, and pastoring a church on Wednesday nights and the weekends. Of course back then you did not have the WOF movement, because pastors lived in the real world. It's really easy to tell someone how much they can have from the pulpit, when you have enough to support a thousand families. :-(

These are the kind of conversations we all need to be having here, but we have a tendency to venture off into the never ever land of discussions.

Isaiah 56:10-12New King James Version (NKJV)

10 His watchmen are blind,
They are all ignorant;
They are all dumb dogs,
They cannot bark;
Sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yes, they are greedy dogs
Which never have enough.
And they are shepherds
Who cannot understand;
They all look to their own way,
Every one for his own gain,
From his own territory.
12 "Come,” one says, "I will bring wine,
And we will fill ourselves with intoxicating drink;
Tomorrow will be as today,
And much more abundant.”

MrBillPro May 17, 2016

Yep Linda! as the church sleeps, they will one day wake up with the deer in the headlights look, because you can bet, the church is next on this administrations agenda. You can hide and watch, "as many generations of Christians have" or you can be one of God's solders that will wake up the church, we all have a choice.

We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; 13 when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage of the world””right up to this moment. 1 Corinthians 4:12-13

You might recall a post I shared months ago about my conversation with a man I know well who decided he is really a woman and who is living as a transgender.

Last week, he appeared on one of those funding websites asking for $6,000 to help him get over the top in having enough money to get surgery to correct what he calls a "birth defect". He says his birth defect was being "born with male genitalia". Please forgive the word if it offends; not my intent.

I've been kind to the man since he started earnestly down this road years ago. He is pitiful in being deceived; he is pathetic in deceiving others. Now, I find myself actually angry with him.

See, this public appeal for money is more than about money. It is about getting approval. I almost thought about donating $5 just so I could say that openly to him on the page where he seeks donations. But, I didn't.

The thing that gets my goat, though, is seeing reactions from people that really are sympathetic and supportive. It is nauseating to see that some of those folks claim to be Christians.

I will hold my peace and tongue unless I know the Spirit of God is speaking to me instead of my own temperament.

Helping a "transgender" pay for sex reassignment surgery is akin to buying a diet book for an anorexic.

That being said, if the only way to make a statement is to make a contribution, I would strongly consider it.

M
MrBillPro May 17, 2016

533 views and 16 replies, this pretty much proves many Christians would rather keep their heads in the sand, than discuss this. I bet when some are personally affected/touched by this in their personal lives, it might light a fire under their cans to step up and speak up. Isn't it amazing how many so called Christians set in the pews every week and hear how much God wants to do for you, but are never told what you could do for God.

D
dolfan May 17, 2016

That is a good analogy. The statement needs to be heard. That venue, that avenue, would not help the message. It would be more about the messenger (me).
