Ep 82: Transgender & Truth

Video
Men’s Alliance

"The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?"  Jeremiah 17:9 We should NOT follow our hearts. We should not base our decisions on how we FEEL.   Feelings change, hearts deceive us, but the objective Truth of the Gospel of Jesus is unchanging.   Make no mistake, culture is attacking gender because "God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."  Culture is attacking Truth because Jesus said, "I am the Truth," and culture is attacking love because scripture teaches that God is love.   It's a well-orchestrated attack against the very nature and image of God, and we must be men who stand for the Truth. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
