I visited the Cool Springs Mall this morning with a child. The image pasted below greeted us at a prominently placed store near the elevators and stairway. The child immediately launched into a series of questions about what it meant and why. I started with Adam and Eve and God’s establishment of marriage and his intent for males and females and how gay sex differs from God’s plan for mankind.
I warned the child that some adults target and molest children. If a nine-year-old headed for fourth grade can ask probing questions about gay advertising, he or she most deserves answers. Parents or grandparents should be the ones who talk with children about sex and not school teachers or leaders of children’s clubs and scouting troops. We need to remind them that God considers PRIDE a sin. Taking pride in sexual expression is odd. It should not be advertised to the public.
There are scriptures that reveal gay sex advertising and propaganda is not good for our nation or its children. Leave them alone! #CoolSpringMall #BrentwoodTN #FranklinTN #Tennessee
I’m reading the love scriptures today. What is love and how do we know when it is flourishing in our lives?
Here’s a very special and appropriate scripture for today.
“You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.
You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together ...
