^“God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:27

Yesterday, Americans celebrated Mother’s Day. It is said to be biggest sales day of the year, for Greeting Cards. However, here’s a new ‘blow-your-mind’ wrinkle. Due to the sin of abortion there are fewer and fewer moms, yet more cards than ever are being sold. Upon closer examination the answer comes into focus… morally perverted definitions of ‘who-is-a-woman’ have flooded the culture with a false narrative. The twisted heresy, that a biological male can be a Mom, has created a whole new marketplace of greed and confusion.

Both in the Kingdom of the Church and the Kingdom of the State, truth has been found lacking. Tragically, truth has also been denied, including basic principles of science. To avoid accountability to God, fallen man is eager to believe a lie. If you have any doubt, tell me why many have found the following question so difficult to answer… “What is a woman?” The truth of Scripture and DNA do not lie. Man does. Truth isn’t confusing. Feelings are.

What has been missing? From my personal observation, two foundational practices, Biblical teaching and apologetic engagement, have been neglected or avoided. In the church, grounding young and old in the basics of Creation is often taken for granted. This assumption has given Satan a whole new field in which to plant doubts… “Can a woman be trapped in the body of a biological male?” From childhood through adulthood, a renewed commitment to teach the ‘it-is-written’ rational truths of Scripture must be a priority.

In the realm of the State, especially in the arenas of government, education, and justice, there has been a concerted effort to foster a godless approach to societal norms. A deceptive interpretation of the separation of Church and State has been used to silence the voice of righteousness and reason. The attempts of legislators, educators, and judges to redefine womanhood is telling.  It is incumbent upon the Church to equip it members to engage society in these public arenas. From school boards to county offices to city councils to State and Federal offices, Christian citizens need to be equipped to engage society with truth.

God, who created the first woman, has given us the answer to the question, “What is a woman.” She is His divine creation… a biological female.
