The
temptation of the Garden of Eden is still alive and well and with us
today. It's the ultimate question each of us has to decide that will
determine our eternity. Who is god of my life? Me or God? That was
the serpent's deception to Adam and Eve, “Eat this fruit and you'll
be gods unto yourselves, deciding what's right and wrong.”
Evolution
is saying, “We made ourselves. Therefore we can decide right and
wrong.” Not true – God made us and he decides right and wrong,
not us.
Bruce
Jenner (yes, I will call him Bruce not Caitlyn) says we can decide
our gender. No, we can mutilate our private parts and take drugs to
fake out Vanity Fair, but we can't change our gender. He's a man and
always will be. God made him that way.
Rachel
Dolezal says we can change our race. No, we can fake it, but we can't
change it. God made us who we are on purpose. (BTW, it amazes me that
people support “Caitlyn” Jenner and not Rachael Dolezal. That's
logically inconsistent. Any argument supporting one also supports the
other.)
Not
accepting who God created us be is rebellion. It's sin. There, I said
it.
These
people have deep wounds that have scarred their identity. Instead of
facilitating the healing God wants to bring them, our society has
officially sanctioned their rebellion. How sad to miss out on the
wonderful adventure of who God created them to be!
How
about you? How about me? Will you let God heal your identity scars
and show you who you really are? I will! I can't wait to find out
what God has in store for me. How about you?
