This week’s headlines highlight a troubling trend of disregarding the God-given design of our bodies, risking the safety and dignity of the vulnerable. Multiple areas – from athletics to prisons to healthcare – show the consequences when society ignores biological reality.
For followers of Christ, our convictions are grounded in the belief that every person is made in the image of God, created with purpose and value. Our bodies are intentional, not mistakes, reflecting the Creator’s wisdom.
In God’s eyes, affirming the body He created is an act of love, not exclusion. We are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14), designed with intention and meaning.
Christian love never separates truth from compassion. To deny reality leads to harm, but upholding God’s truth about our bodies affirms true dignity and worth for men, women, and children alike.
Let us speak boldly for faith, family, and freedom, defending God’s order in both law and culture.
