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
Greetings 👋
Who are my brothers and sisters? Are these verses imploring us to have compassion and love for the whole of humanity?
What do you think?
“We love because he [Jesus] first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.”
1 John 4: 19-21 (NIV).
Greetings 👋
I’m continuing with my meditation on 1 John 4. Have you ever really reflected on the love of God and what He is trying to perfect in us?
“. . .God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way God’s love is perfected in us, so that we may have boldness on the Day of Judgment, because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. Whoever fears is not perfect in love.”
1 John 4: 16-18 (MEV).
