Biblical Response to the Trans-ing of America

Pastor Gary Hamrick

Pastor Gary Hamrick said we are a culture in headed towards a cliff and he felt it was time to address the issue head on as their church had a transgender person attend for a while.

1. His church gave the trans man 1 rule which was to never go into the ladies room. He agreed & obeyed it for a while, but then tried to sneak into the ladies & when security stopped him he left.
2. We must not compromise truth with all the madness going on but share it with love & grace. He gave multiple examples of “madness of our culture” since we have turned away from God.
3. Trans agenda is utter madness and said Target is partnering with a transgender satanist.
4. Churches promoting the LGBT Agenda is madness.
5. He cited Romans chapter 1:18-32 as the biblical description to what is going on in our culture as we have rejected God and God gives them over to
   1. Depraved mind (Romans 1:28).
   2. Being deceived and delusional (2 Thessalonians 9-11).
   3. Unleashing the demonic (1 Timothy 4:1) and makes people open to the antichrist.
6. A society that rejects God becomes depraved, deceived, delusional, and demonic.
7. The devil is behind these things and is going after:
   1. God’s design for sex.
   2. God’s design for marriage.
   3. Children inside and outside of the womb.
8. Why does Bud Light, Target & others not change policies after losing so much money?
   1. They are willing to suffer short-term financial losses for long-term cultural gains as they have a sacrificial commitment to advance the trans agenda similar to how a Christian wife can sacrifice her income to teach their children instead of sending their children to public education.
   2. They prioritize high CEI scores over their customers. Corporate Equality Index pleases Black Rock with its $10+ trillion, Soros, and others that have so much of Target’s and other’s finances.
9. We need to:
   1. Live holy & godly lives, focus on our sins first so we can then help others. (2 Peter 3:10-12).
   2. Have a spiritually healthy home. (Deuteronomy 6:7)
   3. Have a strong stance and do not give into the madness of the culture. (2 Timothy 1:12).
   4. Have a tender heart of compassion on trans and others suffering with sin. (Jude 22-23).
10. 6 truths to live by:
    1. God’s Word is truth and the standard of what is right and wrong. (John 17:17).
    2. God designed us male and female. (Genesis 1:27)
    3. God designed us in beauty & purpose, being “fearfully & wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139:14).
    4. God designed sex within the confines of marriage between a man & a woman. (Genesis 1:28).
    5. God designed all races with equal value & worth. (Acts 10:34-35).
    6. God loves all & died so that all who would call on Him will be saved. (Romans 10:9-13).
