Gender Crisis in America
One of the greatest lies running rampant across our country is that we have the option to change our gender, based on our feelings. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Michele Bachmann and her husband, Dr. Marcus Bachmann, discuss the gender crisis in America, and the fallout our society is experiencing because of this lie. We know from Scripture that the “enemy prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” Therefore, we must be “alert and of sober mind” to keep from falling prey to the devil and his schemes. We must not turn a blind eye to this terrifying and horrific injustice of “trans-gendering.”

Even more distressing to me is the knowledge that the divorce rate for Christians is only slightly lower than for the population at large. How could that possibly be true? Jesus taught his followers to be loving, giving, moral, responsible, self-disciplined, honest, and respectful. He also explicitly prohibited divorce except for radical circumstances. With these instructions, He provided an unshakable foundation for a stable and loving relationship between husband and wife.
