This World Is Not Your Home

Do you sometimes feel like you don’t fit in? You may need to remind yourself that if you are a follower of Jesus Christ, this world is not your home. Your home is in heaven and you are an ambassador for Christ in a foreign land.

“We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.” 2 Corinthians 5:20a 

An ambassador is a “diplomatic official of the highest rank sent by one sovereign or state to another as its resident representative”.¹

As a Christian, this is our role. We are ambassadors sent by God. It helps us to live a life worthy of our calling when we think of ourselves as God’s ambassador and representative. How do we do that?

“Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.” 1 Peter 2:12

An ambassador is sent to a foreign land to reflect the official message of his country. God has sent us into the world with the message of reconciliation.

“But all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ [making us acceptable to Him] and gave us the ministry of reconciliation [so that by our example we might bring others to Him]” 2 Corinthians 5:18 AMP

“… we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel [that tells the good news of salvation through faith in Christ…” 1 Thessalonians 2:4 AMP

Actions speak louder than words. Talking about Jesus is important, but how we live speaks louder than our words. Loving others demonstrates the love of God.

 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35

“Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ…” Ephesians 5:2 NLT

We live in a time unlike any other. Many Christians believe that our time is short and the rapture of the Church is near. How shall we obey the command to make disciples?

Jesus said, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 (emphasis mine)

Making a disciple is more than leading someone in the sinner’s prayer. It includes teaching and supporting them in their faith. To make a disciple is a tall order and not one someone can easily do alone. The Church must work together, each one doing his part. We must ask ourselves: Am I doing my part? Am I fulfilling my role as Christ’s ambassador?

“For this world is not our home; we are looking forward to our everlasting home in heaven.” Hebrews 13:14 TLB

Verses for Meditation, 6/22/23

“No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen.” Luke 8:16-18a NIV (emphasis mine)

Speak Up For Our Children’s Safety, Part 2 of The Trans Agenda

I have been researching the transgender movement and what I have learned has been so heavy on my heart that I could barely stand to read one more article. I searched for another topic to write about all week, but I can’t seem to do it. So now it’s down to the wire (Friday afternoon) and I find I must write about what is burning in my heart.

Just this week, a friend confided in me that her 7-year-old grandson was asked by someone what his pronouns were. He didn’t know what the person was talking about. My friend was visibly upset about it.

If you haven’t been personally affected in some way, you may be ignoring this growing evil agenda. My advice is to take action before it affects you personally.

Does the Bible teach us to remain silent and mind our own business when evil raises its ugly head? No! It says we must “Speak up!”

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
    for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly;
    defend the rights of the poor and needy.” Proverbs 31:8-9

I ran across an excellent blog post by Laura at Enough Light Blog. Laura is a Christian blogger who has written a series of blogs on the trans movement. She linked to an article that I highly recommend you read. I Thought I Was Saving Trans Kids. Now I’m Blowing the Whistle. It was written by Jamie Reed, a self-described queer woman married to a transman. Jamie describes herself as “left of Bernie Sanders”. You can rest assured there is no right-wing bias here. In fact, Jamie is putting herself in danger by blowing the whistle on this so called “care”.

I am going to share portions of Jamie’s article, but please read it for yourself. I warn you. You will be left shocked, outraged, and very troubled.

Jamie worked for four years as a case manager at The Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

I left the clinic in November of last year because I could no longer participate in what was happening there. By the time I departed, I was certain that the way the American medical system is treating these patients is the opposite of the promise we make to “do no harm.” Instead, we are permanently harming the vulnerable patients in our care…what is happening to scores of children is … morally and medically appalling.

Jamie Reed

Jamie provides first-hand knowledge of some of the disastrous effects that hormone therapy has had on children. Some are so horrific I’ve decided not to write about them here, but you can read about them in Jamie’s article.

Our enemy, Satan, is crafty. He works in a stealthy manner. He comes as an “angel of light”. He deceives the whole world.

Suicide in the Trans Community: Forty-one percent of the transgender persons in the United States attempt for suicide at least once in their life.[8] In San Francisco, the prevalence of attempted suicide among transgender persons is 32%, among young age (<25 years) it is 50%. (National Library of Medicine)

This is my call to action: Become knowledgeable about this evil agenda. Much of what is actually going on is not revealed to the public. If you haven’t noticed, people are easily led astray to believe lies. Don’t be one of them. Don’t hide your head in the sand. Do your own research. Find out the policies at your child’s school. Pray for vulnerable children who are being brainwashed by this insanity.

Ignoring this travesty is no different than ignoring any child cruelty. The only difference is that this one is being sold as a caring action, as in gender-affirming “care“.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 1 Corinthians 13:6 NIV
