God’s Design for Life & Culture

πŸ“– Gender

God does not make mistakes. The sex and gender of every human are assigned by God alone before birth.
πŸ“– β€œSo God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” β€” Genesis 1:27
πŸ“– β€œBefore I formed you in the womb I knew you.” β€” Jeremiah 1:5

πŸ“– Marriage

Marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God. It is exclusively between one biological man and one biological woman.
πŸ“– β€œThat is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” β€” Genesis 2:24
πŸ“– β€œMarriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure.” β€” Hebrews 13:4

πŸ“– Sexual Morality

Sexual intimacy is meant for marriage between one man and one woman. Any practice outside of God’s design is sin.
πŸ“– β€œDo you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? … Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men.” β€” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
πŸ“– β€œFlee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually sins against their own body.” β€” 1 Corinthians 6:18

πŸ“– Divorce & Remarriage

What God has joined together, let no one separate. However, Scripture permits divorce in specific cases.
πŸ“– β€œWhat God has joined together, let no one separate.” β€” Matthew 19:6
πŸ“– β€œBut I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery.” β€” Matthew 19:9
πŸ“– β€œIf an unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or sister is not bound in such circumstances.” β€” 1 Corinthians 7:15

πŸ“– Social Justice & Critical Race Theory (CRT)

Justice is found in God alone, not in divisive ideologies.
πŸ“– β€œThere is neither Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” β€” Galatians 3:28
πŸ“– β€œThe Word of God is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword.” β€” Hebrews 4:12

πŸ“– Governing Authorities

God establishes authorities to uphold righteousness, but unjust laws should be resisted with wisdom.
πŸ“– β€œLet everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.” β€” Romans 13:1
πŸ“– β€œWe must obey God rather than human beings!” β€” Acts 5:29

πŸ“– Women in the Church & Home

Women have vital roles but are not permitted to serve as pastors or exercise authority over men in the church.
πŸ“– β€œI do not permit a woman to teach or assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.” β€” 1 Timothy 2:12
πŸ“– β€œThe husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church.” β€” Ephesians 5:23
πŸ“– β€œOlder women should teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women.” β€” Titus 2:3-4
