Would the ability to have children mean that a man could actually become a woman? Setting aside for a moment the awful potential for exploitation of children involved, if science could graft the reproductive system of a female into a male body, and it could function with drugs and hormones, does that make him a woman? A mother?
Megachurch Pastor Andy Stanley is planning to host a conference for parents of children in the LGBTQ+ community later this year.
You may have seen the insurance commercials on television these days with the pitch, “Only pay for what you need.” This is a tempting way to relate to God in that it limits his activity in our lives to what we want him to do in our lives. When we need forgiveness for our sins or direction for our decisions, he’s waiting on the other side of our prayers, or so we think. But if he wants to point out sins we don’t want to stop committing or lead us in directions we don’t want to go, that’s another matter.
Here’s the problem: God knows our needs far better than we do. Limiting his benevolence to our ignorance is unwise for us and grieves our Father.
Utah has banned sex-change surgeries for minors and issued new requirements for doctors to follow in order to prescribe hormone blockers and cross-sex hormones to children with gender dysphoria.
Christian baker Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Colorado lost his appeal on Thursday in a case surrounding his refusal to bake a cake celebrating a gender transition.
The 9th U.S. Court of Appeals will reconsider a previous judge's decision that requires a San Jose, California school district to recognize the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
More than 1,800 United Methodist churches in the United States have left the denomination since 2019 over disagreements about the body’s stance on LGBT issues, according to new data.
A calling card of our cultural moment is the presumption that science is wholly on the side of the progressive sexual agenda. To question so-called “transgender medicine,” for example, especially for minors, is to be called a “science-denier.” Advocates often point to a set of Dutch studies as the scientific ground on which to build their case for childhood transgender “medicine.”
Western culture has clearly decided that any and all LGBTQ activity between consensual adults is to be tolerated and even affirmed. If secular media can quote religious leaders in ways that appear to support this agenda, many will do so. If they can construct their reporting in a way that makes the leader’s statement even more supportive of this agenda, some will apparently do this as well. Numerous other outlets have reported on the AP interview; most I have seen contain no reference whatever to the pope’s statement calling homosexuality a “sin.”
This strategy consequently makes it harder for Christians who support biblical morality to do so publicly. If the pope “supports” homosexuality, as the AP headline and 93 percent of its article suggest, who are we to disagree?
World Athletics is currently considering whether to place certain restrictions on biological males who identify as women from participating in women's sports.
