You can change a lot of things about yourself. Weight loss, education, speed, hair color, your job, your pay and even your strength level… but there is one thing a woman and a man can’t do…
A woman can’t become a man and a man can’t become a woman…
*Hey here is a thought… you can’t change your sex. You cut things off, you can sew things on, you can pump your body full of hormones, drugs and you can dress any way you want… but it will not change your sex.
My grandpa used to say “you can paint a pig purple, but that don’t make him a grape”. I would add… go ahead and paint it purple, call it a grape and squeeze that grape and feel free to drink whatever “juice” you get out of that grape… but you will find out quickly… its a pig.
In short, the Bible teaches that God made us male or female, and no matter our own feelings or confusion, we should act in accordance with the biological reality of God’s good and PERFECT design. Transgenderism falls short of the glory of God and is not the way to walk in obedience to Christ.
There are three Scriptural foundational principles that lead one without excuse to this conclusion.
1. Only 2 genders… or Gender Binary - binary means 2.. only two.
The Bible knows no other, creates no other, makes room for no other gender categories besides male and female.
Scripture has many beautiful pictures of how these two genders express themselves… and even has some strong opinions on when they are expressed wrong… there are still only 2 genders. Scripture is clear, you are either Male or Female
2. Gender Identity
Many want to believe that transgender Christians can embrace God’s design for men and women, but they also believe that who God created them to be does not correspond with the sex assigned to them at birth.” I don’t doubt that there are persons like this out there (and in our churches). While some people embracing a transgender identity may do so on a lark, many strongly feel that only by living as the opposite sex can they full embrace their true self.
The question is not whether such persons and feelings exist. The question is whether the is of our emotional or mental state equals the ought of God’s design. Most Christians reject this thinking in a host of other areas, from eating disorders to unbiblical divorces. We understand that following Christ means dying to ourselves (Matt. 16:24),
3. Gender Confusion
The third building block follows naturally from the other two. If the binary of male and female is God’s idea, and if we are meant to embrace, by divine design, our biological and creational difference as men and women, then it stands to reason that the confusion of these realities would be displeasing to God. And so we see clearly in the Bible that men should not act sexually as women (Lev. 18:22; Rom. 1:18-32; 1 Cor. 6:9-10), that men should not dress like women (Deut. 22:5), and that when men and women embrace obviously other-gendered expressions of identity it is a disgrace (1 Cor. 11:14-15). We do not have an inalienable right to do whatever we want with our physical selves. We belong to God and should glorify him with our bodies (1 Cor. 6:19-20).

Satan wants you to celebrate what is unnatural - because he knows it will eventually destroy you.
Innocence, purity, sinless is Godly… it is in our DNA, we want it, but the demonic wants to corrupt it.
Innocence is natural and Godly and desired by a husband to be.
There are twins… who you going to marry? The one with the history or the one with no history…
Jude 4 4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
LEWDNESS - "unbridled lust, excess, licentiousness, lasciviousness, wantonness, outrageousness, shamelessness, insolence"
The God/demon of Ishtar/Ashtola the wife of Baal. She is also called the transformer… it says she grinds away the masculinity of men. She says she has the power to turn men into women and women into men. and de-womanize women… take away motherhood, femininity,
1 Cor. 1:23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,
Jews - a humble servant Messiah who would come and be crucified… NOT OUR KING
Foolishness - Greeks/Romans lived according to their pagan guttural desires. Gluttony, sexual appetite of sex with anyone, all, anywhere, any time, for any reason… their temples had 9K prostitutes they called priests…
Jesus says to be my disciple you will kill your fleshly desires, sex will be only for a man and a woman and its in marriage…
What if your son came home and said “hey mom and Dad I became a Clepolistic Lavenger what is that? Its a new religion… all I have to do is tear my tongue out with a pliers, and walk backwards on my knees for the rest of my life… You would think he was deceived, a fool, absurd.
Marriage/sex by Jesus just a man and woman in marriage… iron clad.
Matthew 19:4, 5 Jesus said Sex is between a man and a woman in marriage. Just before that he says God created just a man and just a woman.

From the Humans right Campaign
Conclusion
All things considered, it is important to remember that throughout church history, new information about people and the world have frequently led Christians to reconsider their beliefs. This need not be a reason to distrust Scripture, but rather should serve as an invitation to wrestle with the contexts of the biblical writers and our own lived experiences. As it stands today, there are millions of faithful Christians around the world who have come to recognize the work of God in and through the relationships of LGBTQ+ people As New Testament Scholar Daniel Kirk has pointed out, Christians today would do well by the tradition of the apostles and our current witness in the world to recognize that theological abstractions aside, God has already clearly embraced LGBTQ+ people into full communion, and it is now the church’s responsibility to simply honor that reality and rejoice (Luke 15).
Parable of the lost sheep, coin, Lost son
BUT THEY LEAVE OUT THE PART OF THE CHAPTER THAT TALKS ABOUT REPENTANCE!!!!
**The person who feels fat… binge and purge, weighs only 80 pounds… but she feels fat. Those that love her would tell her the hard truth… you are killing yourself, you are not happy… quit going by your feelings.
BUT PASTOR THERE IS NO VERSE THAT TALKS ABOUT BULIMIA AND OR ANOREXIA?
- That would be there type of excuse or reasoning!
Genesis 19 Lot and Sodom and Gomorra
Two angels visit Lot to save his family.
The men of the city find out there are two new fresh men and they storm Lots house demanding to have them for their own sexual practices.
4 Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.”
Old and Young - Lads - young boys!
Sodom and Gomorra destroyed like so many other cities and cultures that were destroyed
Gen. 19:4 They had groomed their boys to want sex with other men.
God out of his mercy saves Lot, but not his wife who was hot… his daughters were marrying idiots- they did not flee.
The daughters get Daddy drunk to have sex with him…
WHAT DO WE LEARN… you can be a Christian in an anti Christ culture, but it will still change your children!
*Im not celebrating Halloween… its about the culture I want in my home.

Gen. 1 God created man and woman
Act like a man - My Gkids punching the boy in the mouth… ice cream
My Dad taking me in the car to fight the kid who tore my kite.
How did we get here?
Men were not held accountable.. divorce
Sexual revolution - evil’lution
take prayer and the 10 commandments out of schools
Teach evolution over creation
Now secular reports conclude:
According to Dr. André Van Mol—the co-chair of the American College of Pediatricians’ Committee on Adolescent Sexuality and a contributor to Public Discourse on transgender issues—in the overwhelming majority of cases, the desire to switch one’s gender identity is closely connected to adverse experiences in childhood. More broadly, studies have reported a high frequency of childhood emotional and physical neglect and abuse among transgender-identifying individuals.
NOW - tie this into a sexually deviant world that promotes sex at every turn. The National Human Trafficking hotline has identified since 2007 almost 400,000 cases of human trafficking in the US alone… that we know of!
The US Government report states that at anytime in the world there are more than 27 million victims engrossed in human trafficking.
EVery generation is becoming more LGBTQ++
Millenials ages 27-42 = 10% identified
GEN Z ages 11-26 18% identified
Just recently 40% of students are LGBQT at brown university
This is just simply a slow growing apostasy of the scriptures… The research shows that kids are being groomed.
Transgender is not a psychological problem… it is a sin problem. And I feel incredibly sorry for those who have been sold this lie!

It would be hard for you to impress me… whoa whoa whoa… hold on - not for any reason you may think… in fact thats the point… if you want to impress me, its probably by something most of the world over looks.
If you have been following the podcast for any period of time, or even maybe from the beginning you realize that this podcast was based on research I did over the course of a few months and the three things I found out about men..
- Men are incredibly lonely
- Men only change when there is trauma
- Masculinity is in short supply due to the lack of fathers in the last 60 years.
It is the perfect recipe for disaster… men don’t have fathers to turn to… they have not been taught how to have deep meaningful relationships with other men BECAUSE they have not had a Dad -role model this for them, they have become emasculated by the media and overbearing women AND…. they can’t change without major catastrophic trauma… and even then they most of the times choose not to change. Again this is why I have said to men for years… you choose your trauma while you can, or it will choose you.
It seems almost too late to do anything about it… but again there is God!
David Shepherd boy, warrior, King… was a forgotten son. He was the youngest of seven brothers… his father was not a good father… and in fact when studying the story you might say Davids father was almost completely absent from his life. He had no close relationships growing up as evident by his brothers response when he came to battle.. so what did David do in order to become an amazing Manly man… yes a poor husband… but still a man used by God. Well David had time on his hands watching those sheep. What did he do in that time alone? Here is the stripped down bare bones outline slash work out for being a man.
He journaled, he prayed, he worshiped and he challenged himself by taking on bears and lions and he took on his meaningless job with purpose and focus as if serving God himself.
I will state this again… he journaled, he prayed, he worshiped, he challenged himself (Bears and Lions is definitely choosing your own trauma) and he worked a meaningless job as if God depended on it. And he became a man… what would have happened if he had not done that and stood in front of Goliath… Im not sure, but I think it would have been ugly.
No great plan, no great science behind it… just daily disciplines and all for a God he knew. Consistency was the factor that made it happen, it was what God noticed you might say… so you sit here and you listen to the podcast and you think Im not going anywhere special, and Im not anyone special, I have no great annointing, I am not the first name that someone would mention is a Mans man or a man of God… - but what you may have, what I hope you have is consistency… consistency in what matters. Reading, praying, obeying and choosing your own trauma…
1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
God is telling Samuel “hey you see all the dudes on instagram, tik tok, facebook, twitter and the like… the ones with the sweet ride, stacks of cash, 6 pack abs, hot flashy women, guitar wizards, rock stars, or even those with the big flashy ministry and churches, seemingly great marriage… God says I don’t look at that. I look at the heart… is the heart consistently going after me. God is saying I am more impressed by the guy who seeks me, loves me and consistently chooses my way over any other guy out there that might grab the worlds attention.
What impresses you? I bet it doesn’t impress God… and maybe what impresses God doesn’t impress you.

Aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort. Gary Brecka
Think of that statement. We choose comfort over health. I think that ties directly into where many Christians are at with their lives. They choose poverty over pushing in to sowing and reaping and claiming Gods word. They choose sickness over fighting with Gods word and coming against the enemy to violently take a hold of their healing. They choose stagnant marriages over praying Gods word over their marriages for years to make it happen.
Louie Simmons… what a dude. He is the one who made the conjugate system famous in strength training… in fact I and my son are going to another one of his workshops in Columbus Ohio in a couple days. He passed away last year, but he was a master at making people their strongest… he used the example of the wolf pack. Wolves are always fighting for their place in the pack… fighting to be 4 if they are 5, fighting to be 2 if they are 3 etc… But once a wolf quits fighting it gets kicked out of the pack and can never get back in. This is why I push hard to stay strong… it takes a lot, a lot of time, effort etc… and the older I get the more time it takes… but I know once I quit pushing its over… I will just be like every other dude who is weak and fluffy… and even if I keep going to the gym I will be the guy who just goes from machine to machine with nothing really to show for it…
But I digress…
I am a fan of John G Lake. I have almost all of his sermons and most books that he has written or that have been written on him. If I was to pursue one mans faith… let me clarify- I am not pursuing anyone other than Christ… but if I was, It would be John Lakes life and faith. He still doesn’t hold a candle to Jesus, but he was an amazing man. Power authority, miracles, supernatural in all ways…
in the Book “his life his sermons his boldness of faith” he writes something that I have underlined and highlighted at least 7 times that I can tell from my handwriting. I have read this book numerous times and it may be my favorite quote from his writings… this is what he says “The reason people become sick is the same reason that they become sinful. they surrender to the suggestion of the thing that is evil, and it takes possession of the heart. Sickness is just the same. there is no difference. The suggestion of oppression is presented, and becoming frightened, the disease secures a foothold. “in the Name of Jesus Christ I refuse to have this thing”.
It seems like Louie Simmons and John G Lake think alike. If you quit fighting if you surrender to the pull of sickness, sin, weakness, lust… whatever you patronize and give an inch to will take a mile.
My quote at the beginning - Gary Brecka says Aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort. Gary Brecka
I only disagree slightly in that we don’t have to aggressively pursue it… it can simply sneak in the door and in time it will take over
song of songs 2:15 it is the little foxes that spoil the vine… literally kill your crop, your harvest.
The foxes didn’t keep you from planting… they didn’t keep you from watering, fertilizing or weeding… they kept you from harvesting…
You do all the work and then this little thought comes in and steals the result. You go to church, you read your bible, you pray, you fast, you make sacrifices and you step out in faith… but then you let one little thought come in… well everyone sins… everyone gets sick… not every prayer is answered… not everyone is passionately intimate with Jesus… not everyone has the Holy Spirit speak to them with precise clarity….
After all that… you gonna let the little fox steal your lunch? I hope not. Doubt your doubts before you doubt your God.

MingleMateMarry.com podcast youtube and website for the perfect marriage material and swag. They got a great hoodie called its a great day to be married… after today maybe some of you will want to wear purchase it… because many of you are not loving the days you are married…
In 1964 a hand written letter by a 12 year old girl was mailed from South America to London England. It had no postage and was missing much of its address… but it had just enough evidence on the front of the envelope to make sure it made it all the way to London and to the intended recipient… in fact when the postal handlers saw the outside of the envelope they themselves paid for the postage and made sure it got into the hands of the person it was intended to get to… And where did it land? right into the hands of a 90 year old man named none other then Winston Churchill - what was on the outside of the envelope? It was addressed to the greatest man in the world London England… that was it, but everyone knew who it was intended to go to.
If I was going to mail a letter to your block, or your work place… and I couldn’t put your name on it I could only put a description of who you were, what would I write.
Oh Im sure in the past when I was younger I would have received letters addressed to the cocky arrogant kid, to the barefoot water skiing freak, to the skateboard nut, …please make sure this gets into the hands to the 17 year old Girl crazy kid… oh they all would have landed in my lap. But what about today… how would you get it to me? How would that letter arrive to YOUR work… knowing it was for you.
Please send this letter to the guy who slacks off and pushes his 15 minute break into 25 minutes…
Please send this letter to the guy who is always right
Please send this letter to the guy who has the wandering eye whenever a woman walks by
Please get this letter to the guy who talks about Religion but has no relationship with God…
In Acts 19… an unusual story pops up about some demons who know Paul and Jesus but not the 7 dudes who were trying to cast them out
Acts 19:15 the demons answered the 7 sons and said “Paul I know, Jesus I know… but who are you?”, and then the demon possessed man jumped on them and beat the snot out of them.
Matt. 7
21Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’…
Lawlessness - disobedience….
So in verse 21 it does not say you won’t enter heaven because you didn’t look like a Follower of Christ, or that you didn’t use his spiritual gifts or powers… it will be because you did not obey him… you were not in alignment with him.
So let me pose my question with some new insights… what if a letter showed up to your work that said “to the guy who is obedient to Christ”…. would it land in your lap? I sure hope so.
What about your neighborhood?

Famous last words on your deathbed
Todd Beamer Was A Passenger On United Flight 93, September 11, 2001 Are you guys ready? Lets roll.
I have offended God and man, because my work did not reach the quality it should have. DaVinci
I finally get to see my Marilynn… spoken by Joe Dimaggio about his wife Marilynn Monroe.
What would your last words be? If I have the chance I would like them NOT to be aaahhhhhggg
But rather “serve God no matter what, he is worthy”.
But King David… he was a shepherd boy, the forgotten son, he was a outcast running from the law, he was King, he was an adulterer and he was a lousy father…. and what did he say? What were his last recorded words… and spoken to his son.
Think of that just for a second… scripture records his last words… but is sure to let us know it was to his future heir. His up and coming son… it wasn’t words to the nation of Israel, or to his family or to God… it was to his son- the next generation.
1 Kings 2:2
“I go the way of all the earth; be strong, therefore, and prove yourself a man.
Prove - appearing… showing up… transforming into
We can see the sins of David breeding, spreading in his son Solomon. Yes Solomon was a great king, the wisest of the wise… but David loved his wives… and Solomon really loved his women and wives… and in a few ways we see how Solomon grew up and in how some other ways he never really achieved the character of God was hoping him to have.
But David said be strong and prove yourself a man… I wonder what David would have said if could have seen the end of Solomons life.
TMI yesterday my wife and I got into a hmmm lets call it a discussion. She said your oldest is 33 years old and you can’t tell him what to do, you will put a wall between you both. I said “if I do it the wrong way, yes I would put up a wall…. however it is still and will always be on me to tell my son how to live if he is not living for God”. I have told me boys numerous times growing up… if you don’t want to live for God- thats fine, but don’t be a phony… just say Im not a Christian… and I will pray you will become one, but I won’t be torn up inside that you are a liar. And I loved that my youngest son for a long long time did just that… now he is on fire for God, but you get my point. Grow up and show yourself to be a man… I would add a man of God.
One more question… what will it feel like at the end of your life to not show up like a man of God…
Look I see a lot of men in our world who are manly… the kill things, they are tough, they sacrifice for their family, they build businesses, they help others… but if you do not know God - Live for God - and win others TO God… are you really a man of God?
I love the old song by Todd Snider called Talking Seattle Grunge… about a band that was so alternative and wanted to stand out so much that they formed and decided to never play a song, not a note… it pokes fun of being so different that masses can be fooled and fall in love with the gimmick and forget what being in a band is about… - you should check it out. But point being, the world is full of gimmicks when it comes to what a man is… I am sure when we get to heaven there will be men who were scrawny, ugly, uneducated, poor and maybe never had a wife or a woman… and they were THEEE Men of God that are on display because they realized what being a man is about - being like Jesus.
So today…as if I am going to die… I say unto you “Be strong and be a man… a man of God”!

Ira Antelis… wrote the song I wanna be like Mike, the classic MJ commercial for Gatorade… But did you know those lyrics are also in the bible and they are not about Jesus…Thats where we are going today
Ira Antelis was hired to write a commercial for Gatorade, they already bought time and had only a week or two to come up with a song. Ira wanted to use the song from Disney Classics Jungle Book “I wanna be like you’hoo hoo”… but the negotiations stalled and MJ and Ira pulled out… and to this day that is why people believed MJ would never say “Im going to Disney world” after his championships… apparently some people believe that MJ can hold some type of grudge or something…LOL, I can just hear Michael… “uh yeah they wouldn’t let us use the song and I thought Ok, I won’t ever go to Disney World… so yeah I took an offense to that”.
But Ira came up with the lyrics and sent it to 3 or 4 song writers and said you got 3 days… we shoot in four - or something like that.
But the song resonated to young and old… everyone saw MJ literally jump off the TV screen and float across the court and dunk the ball… shoot free throws with his eyes closed, put moves on guys that would cause them to literally fall out of their shoes…Remember David Wesley… ouch.
1 Cor. 11:1 11 Do as I do, for I am doing as Christ did.
Be like Mike.
Be like Paul, copy him, imitate him, follow him, do as he does, Make him your example, say what he says, do what he does, act like he acts, think like he thinks, maybe even dress like he dresses… probably not- Im not wearing a robe in todays world… sheesh people would think its a dress and think I have become a woman… and we all know if you are man you can’t become a woman… how fast can I chase a rabbit?
Sorry, but here is the gist of todays podcast…
Can you say to other men, or people “be like me”.
Are you living in such a way as to say “be like me, pray like me, read your bible like me, practice it like me, talk like me… even when you get your car dented or you hit your thumb with a hammer… be like me.
When your spouse is a pain in the neck… be like me, when your kid comes home drunk, be like me…
These words by Paul are not just words that slip out of his mouth unaccounted for… he actually goes on to say “follow my teachings… trust me enough to do what i do and say what I say”.
You konw that is a gut check for anybody… can you today honestly say “he everyone do as I do…. I hope so, and if not make that a goal.
