Equality Act?

IF Joe Biden were to be the next US President, he has promised to pass the Equality Act within the 1st 100 days of being in office.  I'd like to take a brief minute or so to talk about some of its ramifications.   At the end, I will share the gospel with you, and offer you an opportunity to receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.  Some of the material from this blog post was taken from an online source listed below at bottom of article.

Equality Act = must make the transgender person feel comfortable; must allow the biological male who identifies as a woman to enter into a woman's restroom and/or gym locker room; allow transgender biological male to participate in traditional woman's sports.  

Equality Act = NOT equal; it puts women down; demeans women; does not support biological women by forcing them to accept biologically-born MALE as female.   

  • Equality Act = Legalized Sin
  • Sin = missing the mark
  • Sin = leading to death
  • Sin = Addictions, such as to alcohol, chemical, drugs, porn, and so on
  • LGBQ-lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, homosexual
  • Equality Act is based on a lie.  The TRUTH is God created humankind as male and female; each person is born as a biological male, or as a biological female.  One X chromosome, one Y chromosome for a male; two X chromosomes for a female.  This is science and fact.  A person who claims they are transgender, or LGBQ, are CHOOSING a sexual act that is contrary and against God's original GOOD design.  
What is truth?
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.  There is no one without fault, not one without sin.  That's the bad news if we were to stop right there.  But, God is love.  For God so loved the world, that He gave His One and only Son, that whosoever would BELIEVE in him would not perish but have ETERNAL LIFE.  The truth is that God is good; God is love; God is Sovereign and He holds the whole world in His hands.  God is everywhere; God is all-knowing; and God is all-loving. 

Do you want eternal life?  Do you want to know that when you die, you'll go to heaven?  Do you want to be forgiven of your sin?  If so, then you must put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ.  Ask Him to forgive you for all your sins, and receive the free gift of forgiveness that Christ offers.  He extends his hand in friendship to you; all you have to do is reach out to take a hold of his hand.  Believe the truth that God is love, and that God loves you.  God made you and he loves you.  He wants you to be born again.

How can you be born again?  All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.  Say yes to Jesus, ask him to forgive you for all your sins, and he will forgive you.  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  Believe that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life; no one can come to the Father but through him.  Receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.  

Are you willing to ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior now?  If so, I would like to lead you in a short prayer to invite Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of your life now.  If you agree, if you have the desire to say yes to Jesus now, then pray the following prayer aloud:

            Dear Jesus, I come to You now; and admit that I am a sinner; I have turned my heart, mind, and actions against You in different ways.  I admit that I have not followed Your ways.  Dear Lord, I am sorry for my sin, and I ask You to please forgive me for all my sin; for doing things I shouldn't have done, and for not doing things that I should have done.  Thank you dear Lord for your forgiveness; I receive the free gift you offer me of forgiveness in Jesus Christ.  I call upon your Name now, dear Lord Jesus, to save me from my sin, and make me born again.  I receive Jesus now as my personal Lord and Savior.  Come fill me with the Holy Spirit and help me live the rest of my life from here on out, for Your kingdom and Your glory.  I give You my life and I give You my heart today, dear Lord.  Thank you for you love for me.  In Christ's name I pray, Amen. 

What are my next steps?  What should I do now?  If you just prayed that prayer, congratulations my friend, and welcome to the family of God!  I'm so excited for you!  The next step is for you to get plugged into a true Bible-teaching church so that you can learn and grow more in your new found faith and relationship with Christ!  Ask God in prayer to lead you to a good Bible-teaching church.  You'll need a Bible to read; read the Bible as much as you can!  Let a pastor or Christian friend know about your decision to pray a prayer of salvation; if you want, you can even email me, and I would be glad to offer additional encouragement to you if I am able.  You are about to embark on the most amazing journey anyone could ever have.  I assure you, that receiving Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior is the BEST decision you could ever make, hands down!
