Navigating Culture: Deviations from God's Pattern for the Family

Recently we attended the Bible conference IN New Jersey and while there I picked up a book entitled God and the transgender debate. I had been working on a message on this topic as some of you might remember the last time I spoke it was on abortion which is another issue that Christians need to be praying about. I hope that you are bring about the upcoming Supreme Court case, but I saw this book and bought it. I had been working on the message and I didn't read it. Those of you that have been there know they give you time in the afternoon to do some reading and whatever and I read through the book and learn much from it earlier in the service. As you know, read from Romans chapter 1, and it listed many deviations from God's plan and most of the cultures in the world today are being bombarded to varying degrees on various fronts of what is called the sexual revolution. One recent far-reaching front involves the debate over transgender is him after Bible believing churches. There's no debate. As we shall see God's word is clear on the issue of human sexuality, but this is the debate. Beloved, that the church cannot ignore. The world will not let us ignore those who champion transgender is him and other deviations from God's plan. Consider Christian and our beliefs a threat to their agenda and if you want proof that I'm going to read the forward to this book. The Ford was written by Dr. Al Mohler, the president of Southern Baptist theological seminary, and he offers a sobering warning to the church. Listen if you would the Christian church in the West now faces a set of challenges that exceeds anything.

It has experienced in the past, the sexual revolution is fundamentally restructuring our culture's collective understanding of family, society, and the very meaning of life.

These challenges would be vexing enough for any generation, but the contours of our current challenge have to be understood as part of a larger project which is affecting every square inch of society.

This revolution, like all revolutions, takes few prisoners. In other words, it demands total acceptance of this revolutionary claims in the affirmation the thumbs up of its aims for its goals.

This is the problem now faced by Christians were committed to uncompromising faithfulness to the Bible as the word of God and of the gospel is the only message of salvation. I want to ask you three questions as we get started tonight. Is it your conviction that the Bible reveals the principal by which God will judge all mankind with eternal consequences.

Read that again is it your conviction that the Bible reveals the principles by which God will judge all mankind with eternal consequences.

A second question is it your conviction that you cannot participate in the system or approve of anything that is contrary to the Bible you stop to think about the ramifications of that second question their broad is it your conviction that you cannot participate in, assist, or approve of anything that is contrary to the Bible and then finally the third question is it your conviction that if you are to obey the command to love your neighbor as yourself. You must speak the truth of God's word to him with compassion. Is it your conviction that if you are to obey the command to love your neighbor as yourself.

You must be truth of God's word to him with compassion. A brief introduction and want to share with you the attack on gender and the family is defined in Scripture as part of the sexual revolution invokes just like they do with the account of the biblical account of creation secularist scorn. The Bible's teaching on gender and marriage may go further by accusing those who hold the Bible's teaching on gender and marriage as being phobic or being bigots. What is a phobic phobic means having an intolerance or aversion to something secularist terms for those who do not share their opinions include the following and you don't need to remember these what I want you to get is this is just this is just a taste.

I'll mention this later in the message. One website I got on identified 112 genders. Your hundred and 12 genders. I'm just going to share a couple things with. What are some of the subtitles under this area. Phobic first by phobia that they say is an irrational fear, dislike of bisexuality or bisexual homophobia, irrational fear or dislike of homosexuality or homosexual, lesbian phobia, irrational fear, dislike of lesbian trans phobia, irrational fear, dislike of transsexuality or trans people at this point I'd like to stop and ask a question. Are they becoming crystal for phobic.

Are they becoming crystal phobic irrational fear and dislike of Christians. The second thing they not only call us phobic with their second accusation of Christians that were bigots. What is a big a bigot is one who regards increase the members of a group such as a racial or ethnic group with hatred and intelligence intolerance. I want to listen carefully to this next statement is very important. While Christians are commanded to love all mankind for their soul say they must not practice, condone or facilitate anything which the Bible condemn while Christians are commanded to love all mankind for their sole sake, including Aaron. We must not practice, condone or facilitate anything which the Bible condemns.

We are mainly going to be in Genesis tonight, but at this point, I want you to turn to Isaiah if you would Isaiah chapter 5 and before I read the verses or tell you which one were going to read God gives a clear warning to those who would practice condemn or facilitate anything that he identifies as evil. Isaiah chapter 5, beginning with verse 18 will go down 21 Isaiah writes woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity and sin as it were a car that say letting make speed and hasten his work that we may see it. Let the Council, the holy one of this will draw near and come that we may know what of those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and prudent in their own site folks, if you will note verse 19 the taunting unbeliever said where's the judgment of what you spoken. Isaiah bring it on will believe it when we see it and that's the attitude that a lot of people have today. These verses refer to the comic confound distinctions of right and wrong there confounding the distinctions between right and wrong just like those mentioned in Romans one that we looked at earlier Paul warned us in that the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. He goes on to state that those who practice such things. These vile passions that defined nature sexual immorality. These things are deserving of death, and they not only do them but they approve of those who practice them as we navigate culture. One question is gotta guide us. What does the Bible have to say is what we asked those three questions is it your conviction about the Bible.

One thing we got to question what does the Bible have to say. As I mentioned earlier, most of this first one is going to be in Genesis.

If you would turn to Genesis 1 Genesis 1 and the first thing that we would share with you is Christians hold as a conviction that God created two sexes, male and female Christians hold as a conviction that God created two sexes, male and female notice verse 27 so God created man in his own image in the image of God he created him male and female he created them.

Then God bless them God said in a be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air over every living thing that moves on the earth. He created males and females first evolve for procreation. Notice verse 28 again.

God bless them God said to them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

I have a few quotes tonight and I'm going to read slowly so that you make sure that you get them. I thought about leaving them out and I just couldn't people far smarter than I can offer us great insights. Dr. Georgia Perdomo with answers in Genesis, earned her doctorate degree in molecular genetics from the Ohio State University. She spent six years as professor of biology at Mount Vernon Nazarene University. She states this. She says the word of God does not separate gender from sex. That's important. The word of God does not separate gender from sex and of the theoretical or psychological from the physical Genesis 127 refers to the creation of male and female. That's two sexes in Genesis 2 we read in more detail about the creation of man and woman as to genders. Specific male and female pronouns. She and her.

He and his are used to link male with man and female with woman throughout the general account of Genesis and creation. In other words, sex is directly connected to gender and moreover, when God had finished his work with the descent.

Genesis 131. He said it was very good. So God's good design is her only to genders or sexes. In this design is confirmed by our biology. Beloved. In short, there is no sliding scale between male and female. There are males and females.

Turnover to Genesis chapter 4 if you would.

And as I read these verses you're going to see like the ripples that happen when you throw a stone in the water. God is saying over and over and over again in different ways. I created two sexes. Notice Genesis for verse one in the first part of verse two in that we read Adam and Eve obeyed the command to be fruitful among his says now Adam knew his wife and she can see and bore Cain and said I've acquired a man from the Lord first part of verse two then she bore again, this time his brother Abel to other terms are introduced to us in these verses, wife and brother and I think we all realize the brother refers to a male sibling turnover to Genesis 5. This restates the creation of a male and female.

Genesis 5 verse two he created them male and female, and bless them and call the mankind and the date they were created to obey God's command to be fruitful and multiply, beloved, requires a heterosexual union between the two sexes that are necessary and complementary. Anyway you cut it.

That's the only way that command of God is going to come about. This is a biological fact that atheists and agnostics must acknowledge in Genesis 5 verse four speaks of Adam, beginning sons and daughters to new gender terms that are introduced what we looked at thus far. God made males and females for procreation. Secondly, he made males and females for partnership.

I want you to turn back to Genesis 2. Notice verse 18 God fills in the details of man's creation on day six and he introduces another of the reasons that God created woman and we mentioned partnership verse 18 the Lord God said it is not good that man should be alone I will make him a helper comparable to nonidentical kind comparable equal in value, but necessarily different in some functions drop down to verse 21 and will read 225 the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam and he slept and he took one of the ribs. His ribs and closed up the flesh in its place.

Then the rib which the Lord God is taken from man he made into a woman and he brought her to the man and Adam said, this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh, she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they should become one flesh. And they will make it the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. In this text. In this text we see the terms woman and man in verse 22 we see the terms father, mother and wife. In verse 24 over in chapter 3. Don't turn there, but chapter 3 verse six Adam is referred to as Eve's husband. Let me repeat one more time for us there is no sliding scale between male and female God created men and women males and females. Husbands and wives. Turn to Matthew 19 Matthew 19 and Jesus rehearses the truth, taught in Genesis 127 Matthew 19 want to read verses three through six, and he mentions to genders, males and females verse three, Matthew 19, three the Pharisees also came to him, testing him, and saying to them, is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason and he answered and said to them, have you not read that he who made them at beginning made them male and female, and said, for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh so that they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate friends.

The command for man to be joined to his wife and the two becoming one flesh necessitates a heterosexual, monogamous relationship. There's another $0.25 word heterosexual, two sexes, monogamous one made two sexes, one made. God didn't create wives for Adam's model is one man and one woman.

And when You Dr., Denver six, he states what God has joined together, let not man separate.

So what is clearly revealing is that God also intends for marriage to last a lifetime to sexes, male and female, a man and his wife for a lifetime. That is his perfect plan and we see so many deviations from that plan. Any deviation from God's model violates his word that is binding upon mankind. Adultery, fornication, polygamy, divorce all of these things destroy the intimacy of oneness, the oneness of husband and wife must be guarded and grown for the health of any marriage. I hope that you understand that and I don't say that talking down I speak to myself the oneness that I have with my wife must be guarded and grown must be guarded and grown. That is God's plan turned to Genesis 6 and we want to look at verses 18 to 20. Genesis 618 through 20. And were going to read about God's reboot of mankind and other lifeforms at the time of the flight.

Let me insert here before we start reading in verse 18.

Notice what I said earlier in the message God is using different ways to bring up the same principle to sexes or gender, and he started all over again. After the flood. Notice what he says he uses the same terminology also verse 18 God says but I will establish my covenant with you. You should go.

One of the our you your sons your wife and your sons wives with you and of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the art.

Why to keep them alive with you. They should be male and female of the birds after their kind of animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive. This is repeated in Genesis chapter 7 versus 213 and in that text Genesis 72 and three God again instructs no one notice it you shall take with you. Seven. Each of every clean animal, a male and his female to each of animals that are unclean of male and his female also.

Seven. Each of the birds of the air, male and female. Why to keep the species or the kinds alive in the face of all the earth. He repeats a major reason for two sexes.

What a sack to keep the species or kinds alive in the verses that we considered. Let me give you an overview wrapping this first point out in the verses we consider God created to sexes or genders, male and female, for the purposes of procreation partnership. He defines the family as a union of one man and one woman in the offspring that result from there one flesh relationship upon the birth of their baby. The male, or man is known as the child's father and the female or woman. The child's mother Adams male children are called sons and his female offspring are called daughters again. Any deviation from God's model violates his word that is binding upon mankind. Folks God makes it crystal clear to sexes or genders.

A man and his wife for a lifetime. Now let me tell you upfront the second point is a bit academic but I want you to stick with me because you're going here some stuff. It probably will shock again. It's a bit academic. It's not exposition but I think you'll see the value in it would look at .1 .2. Christians face challenges in a culture that is rapidly and by blatantly declining, morally, and it considers biblical Christianity of threat to secular agenda. Let me say that last part again. They considers biblical Christianity, a threat to a secular agenda and what I'm going to give you is an overview of the society we live in.

Folks, this is not just America. This is worldwide. Any quote civilized country is dealing with these issues. The challenge of some biological realities in this first one we have to mention and why mention is we don't want to be agreement and there is young people here may need mom and dad explain this to them, but it needs to be said because it is a fact intersects.

What is that person can be born with a combination of male and female organs. Although a person's crew, biological sex can be determined through medical tests. This abnormal condition is called intersects and it is rare. So for people to use this as an excuse is bogus.

The national Center for biotechnology puts it at 0.018% of the population.

Listen carefully to this Dr. Leonard sax medical doctor with a PhD states quote the available data support the conclusion that human sexuality is a dichotomy not a continuum.

It's a dichotomy to not continue. More than 99.98% of humans are either male or female.

Referring intersects Ken ham heard that name with answers in Genesis adds that these abnormalities are not the same as so-called gender identity transgender gender fluidity and everything else the LGBT Q activists are pushing have nothing to do with biology. It has everything to do with psychology and there is a huge difference when you think about that has nothing to do with biology. It has everything to psychology how a person thinks or views himself or herself is not a problem of the body. The problem of the mind.

The challenge and the complexity of new vocabulary.

Hold onto your hat. The challenge in the complexity of new vocabulary. No, we put unities and I can read all 112 genders that I found on that website you need to listen carefully to this. This is the culture that we live in. Folks, this is the culture. This is the culture that our young people are going to go out into the challenge and the complexity of new vocabulary. Owen Stratton is associate pressure professor of Christian theology at Midwest seminary is the author of the grand design and he states quote the sexual revolution has created a host of bewildering terms to describe the struggle for people to reconcile their internal desires with their bodies familiarity with modern terminology does not necessarily mean you accept these terms as descriptions of what should be familiarity doesn't mean that you accept it just means that you're aware of it and that is that is very critical. We need to keep that in mind, you notice that when you know what these terms are they simply allow you to talk accurately, sensitively and intelligently about what people claim they are feeling. And that's important.

As we'll see in a moment. The most important concept, understand, and I got this in red to emphasize that the most important concept understand is the town to distinguish between number one. The sex of the person that person is born of the words of physical characteristics that person has ever male and female trying to distinguish between one the sex of person is born with and to the gender. A person identifies with another words there lived role as man and woman. And as we've seen, God does not distinguish between the sex of an individual in the gender of that person. Gender dysphoria and I don't expect to remember this topic need to have a just a broad understanding gender dysphoria is the general term to describe an individual's discontent with the gender listen to this and I'm holding these people I'm holding these people is the general term to describe an individual's dish contact with the gender imposed at birth based on visible physical sex characteristics as referred to as unassigned gender and you need to get the terminology assigned gender.

I want you to notice the words imposed and assigned. Why don't they use the words the gender identified at birth based on physical characteristics you see what they're doing me read that again.

This is referred to as a sign gender of an individual's discontent with the gender imposed at birth based on visible physical sex characteristics or assigned gender, and I asked the question why not just look at the baby and said that's a boy look at the baby and say that's a girl we go on individuals are content with their sex and gender birth referred to assist CIS gender people who identify with the gender different from the one they were created with and that they had ever referred to as transgender. You've heard that term. These other identities can take many forms. Some individuals identify with different genders at different times figure that one out. That's called gender fluidity. Unbelievable. The wisdom of man is foolishness with God. They tend identify with different genders at different times.

That's called gender fluidity or no gender at all. Called agent you don't identify as a male or female or anything else.

So what are you, and it I mean really, the possibilities in the vocabulary to describe them are seemingly endless.

This is where I inserted I counted right looked at hundred and 12 on one particular website and I put in my notes talk about fusion now. A report from the new Atlantis in title sexuality and gender. Listen to this.

The hypothesis hypothesis, something that you're throwing out there you can prove like a theory by testing the hypothesis that gender identity is an innate fixed property of human beings that is dependent or independent of biological sex that a person might be a man trapped in a woman's body or woman trapped in a man's body isn't supported by scientific. Did you get what you're saying there the hypothesis that gender identity is an innate fixed property human being that is independent of biological sex. In other words it a person might be a man trapped in a woman's body or woman trapped in a man's body is not supported by scientific evidence, but they will still drive down our throats, as we'll see, Dr. Paul McHugh and this is not a Christian descriptive of him. He is arguably I'm quoting the most important American psychiatrist of the last half-century. He's got a four decade record of strong and well argued.

Skepticism regarding the increasingly accepted courses of treatment for gender dysphoria. The growing acceptance of transgender is armrest on his insubstantial claims. He says insubstantial claims. The point of recent attacks on this doctor is not to take him down. And folks, this is why this point number two is important. This is why it's vital listen.

The point of the recent attacks on this man whose been a respected psychiatrist, a preeminent psychiatrist for nearly 40 years is for this purpose is to signal to every other mental health and medical professional in the country from psychiatrist to endocrinologists to surgeons to therapists and counselors that the idolater ideology of transgender rhythm will brook no dissent. You will not disagree with us that intolerance will eventually include preachers that speak the truth Al Mohler poinsettia man reduction.

Very clever. The forward they're basically attacking this man a renowned psychiatrist simply to send signal to every other doctrine that field don't mess with us. We have an agenda for what I read earlier transgender is just part of the bigger program.

There are several fronts. Abortion is a friend transgender is him is a front and on and on a go.

The challenge of government involvement. This is going to blow your mind.

Springfield, Illinois, May 28, 2021 from Whiteside life site news Illinois lawmakers passed a bill redefining infertility to apply to homosexuals and single people and mandating insurance coverage for in vitro fertilization and other infertility services for the LGBT identifying individuals while on earth is@well let me tell you what brought this up pediatrician Zachary Marcus and his husband Gary McDowell, a scientist are pursuing surrogacy. What is that it's one a woman agrees to carry their baby. This new bill will force insurance companies to now cover the cost for homosexual couples. When you think about that folks. It's alarming. It is alarming in line with this, the Biden administration's budget includes a public health section which substitutes the words birthing person for the word mother. His budget has in it words birthing person that take the place of the word mother has hellfire culture is gone.

What you and I don't say this to be funny at all.

It's not you. Did you basically just going to say the word mother has no meeting meaning and are you basically say this is birthing person's day and again I'm not trying to be funny is just absurd. It's absurd when you come right down to the challenge of government involvement. This is the alarm that's alarm with the challenge of wolves in sheep's clothing.

The Reformation project. This is a group there website states that the Reformation project is a Bible based Christian grassroots organization whose mission is to promote inclusion of LGBT Q people by reforming Church teaching on sexual orientation and gender identity.

So we are a Christian organization this going to reteach with the word of God has to say on this topic is mind blowing to me.

That's frightening. He says are they say we run national conferences, leadership development cohorts. We offer trainings and sources to empower LG BT Q Christians and their allies if you'd like to become a more vocal advocate in your church. Would love to partner with folks that statement is implying there's enough people that are swallowing this poison that they can have national conferences as scary and the key is this.

They're going to do it by reforming Church teaching on sexual orientation and gender identity. The last thing that we will look at briefly, Christians need to be biblical wise and loving when addressing the issue of sex gender first thing we should not follow the culture and separating sex from gender which is really the crux of the matter we must not change the Bible's vocabulary or apologize for what it says. We should speak the truth in love. Easiest thing for us to do is just remain silent. Easiest thing for us to do. I'm not advocating we go out on street corners and be a crusader but am advocating that we need to be knowledgeable and for their souls. Speak the truth in love because this is just a sound like innumerable others, and we need to be sensitive and and loving, and our approach gentlemen love is willing to suffer repercussions to be true to the Scripture we should recognize that some people really do experience a range of desires and they will be offended if we deny the existence of those desires you might sit there sign big deal, folks, we should be sympathetic gained knowledge that the issues are real but then we need to point them to the deeper issues that are covered in the Bible there are desires that are real and sinful were not denying that you got the desired wall yard and not what we are saying is that it's an soon I'm saying if we deny that they have those desires that's going to be a turnoff and I will give you an example that many of you have read about will see it in a minute but we should recognize some people really do experience a range of desires quote.

If a person feels he or she is been born as a wrong gender. The answer is not gender reassignment surgery, hormone therapy, cross-dressing, etc. those are simply worldly ways of acquiescing to the devil's lines. God doesn't make God doesn't make mistakes is not the author of confusion.

Now, because of time. I'm going to debrief on this but this is from an article on together for the gospel. June 24, 2021. How do we affirm the dignity of each person we meet and work with while maintaining godly distance from affirmations and violate Scripture, and you might say we document dignity. We don't want to treat other people like dirt your noggin have much of a way he saying how do we affirm the dignity of each person we meet and work with while maintaining godly distance from affirming something that violate Scripture and this is most profitable throughout church history.

Missionaries have discern the difference between healthy contextualization thinking you lose me. Stick with me and will explain that healthy contextualization and ungodly syncretism. What is the author mean by these terms because I had no clue healthy contextualization. Basically, Rosaria, remember that that gospel comes with asking she was a lesbian.

Very intelligent professor with tenure, a pastor and his wife invited her over.

Supper was supper. They didn't get out the Bible and beat her over the head with it. They just befriended her and if I can say this from a human standpoint. They loved her to Christ they did not affirm her lifestyle. They did not approve her lifestyle.

They just didn't attack her. They didn't attack her. That is healthy contextualization. What about ungodly syncretism.

When you put the words Christian transgender or Christian homosexual or Christian anything that the Bible clearly condemns is wrong. We read in Romans one that is ungodly syncretism what is syncretism. It's the it's the combination of different forms of belief or practice is the combination of two things, like a Christian homosexual doesn't work. It does not work, we gotta be aware that I want to give to final warnings warning to parents an article entitled parents helping kids navigate transgender I.I ideology by Maria Baer.

She says this parents, you need to teach your young people about sex and to warn them about the attempts to normalize transgender homosexuality, fornication and other sins of the Bible clearly condemns this indoctrination is becoming rampant and oppressive, and whether you have your kids in a Christian school or home school you better teach them the truth. And if you have them in public education you better teach them the truth.

This stuff will invade their space in the neighborhood if not in school so you better be teaching your kids the truth, you better be teaching them the truth in a warning to those who may struggle with gender identity of already mentioned the that of surgery and whatnot is not the right way to go. Says this guy ends up saying that the truth be known, a radically disproportionate disproportionate number of people suffering with gender dysphoria died by suicide as compared with the general population. Not a lot of that had the surgeries and realize I made an awful awful mistake and I can go back and with the US they take their life.

Five applications five applications and I miss changing one slide that's okay couple applications for stone by the lie that agreeing with what the Bible condemns is a phobia or bigotry. That's a lot. Don't buy the lie that agreeing with what the Bible said in a condemns is a phobia or a bigger bigotry.

Disagreement is an intolerance.

I am not afraid of nor do I hate people who are on biblical I am a burden for and I'm not can allow somebody to pin the lie that I'm a bigot or phobic.

I'm it's not true it's not true.

Second thing, acknowledge the real psychological factors that influence some men and women are gender reassignment.

If you discount were disdained their struggle, you undermine your ability to share the gospel with acknowledging their struggle is not the same as affirming or approving of their desire. We don't approve we don't affirm or simply acknowledging and trying to be of help to them by sharing the word with two others. Number three when talking to someone who may be struggling with issues like national identity, homosexuality, fornication, make it clear the silence is your easy path love for them compelled as a sinner saved by grace to show the truth of God's word with desire to point them to his solution. The flipside of that folks. As we learn to look down our pious nose and think that their sin is worse than arms and pride is one of the things that God hates so what we want to make certain we do when were talking to them want to make certain that we could take the easy way out, but because we do care want to speak the truth in love. Parents understand that you need to teach your children and teens that God makes us male or female's creations are always good for his purposes.

They need to understand both desire and discontentment cannot trump obedience to Scripture and find their contentment in Christ, can I say that last part again just part of it. Desire and discontentment cannot trump obedience to Scripture. Obedience to Scripture has to be first or most and then this out last final application and this is easier said than done. It's one of the things at the back of this book avoid pronouns altogether if possible when interacting with transgender individuals calling a person by their legal name or preferred name is more acceptable because names are not objectively gendered but they change from culture to culture and I give the example, the name Jesse Casey Riley. There's they're not gender specific. And when you're interacting with someone. It's not the same as calling a male her or she may God help us to be salt and light in the world is becoming increasingly corrupt. I do want to close on a positive note in folks I was telling some for the service. This one the hardest messages I've ever had to prepare. And I know that there were some complex things in their book, we need to make sure our head is out of the same. We need to make sure we understand what is happening to the value of this country that once shouted loudly in God we trust. We need to understand that we need to be knowledgeable and we need speak the truth in love.

I want to read some don't turn their pleas, but I want to read Psalm 31, 19 to 24 is this is encouraging, no matter what front were facing the writer. It's a Psalm of David and he says oh, how great is your goodness, what you've laid out for those who fear you, which you prepare for those who trust in in the presence of the sons of men. You shall hide them in the secret place of your presence from the plots of man, you shall keep them secretly in the pavilion from the strife of tongues. Blessed be the Lord for you to show me his marvelous kindness and a strong city. Fry said my haste. I'm cut off from before your eyes. Nevertheless, you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried out to you oh love the Lord, all you his saints, for the Lord preserves the faithful and fully repays the proud person. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord, would you pray that you take what I've said to Nitin make it profitable. Each of us.

We need to know what is going on in our culture to know the truth of your word. Your perfect plan for the family and what we need to be able articulated in love with the souls of people are burden, murder, predeparture hedge about our families that you help us to be bold in our witness using the gospel of Christ
