We can hope as much as we want for their deliverance, we can complain to one another about the incoherence of their worldview, and we can debate political policies as much as we wish, but if the church is not active and intentional in engaging on a personal level with trans-identifying people, they will remain in their sin. “How are they to hear without someone preaching?” (Romans 10:14).
Put simply, this is God’s just response to those who hate and reject Him. We are currently enduring God’s judicial retribution against our nation’s great treachery against the truth. As June approaches, it is blindingly clear that we are still in the midst of this great condemnation.
Christians would be wise to examine the foundational failures of the Christian response to abortion over the past fifty years and seek to avoid these same mistakes in the fight against transgenderism. If we wish to prevent Bostock from becoming the next Roe, if we desire to spare future generations of the perverse tragedy of transgender ideology, then Christians must not repeat the manifold errors made in the abortion battle.
As the issue of transgenderism specifically continues to assert itself as the brightest flashpoint of the modern cultural battle, Christians more and more must realize that this horrifying trend commands our engagement.
Christians cannot hope to bring about conviction over sin and repentance for it by the gospel message if the reality of God’s sovereign rule over all is so quickly abandoned. And one by one, Christians are surrendering foundational truths to LGBTQ demands, from God’s definition of marriage and the biblical family model, to even God’s own role as Creator when it comes to gender.
