TRUTH IN A WORLD OF CONFUSION. 10/19/2025

THE MIDNIGHT WATCH PRESENTS

“CREATED MALE AND FEMALE: TRUTH IN A WORLD OF CONFUSION”

Text: Genesis 1:27 (NKJV) — “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

The Foundation Under Attack

We are living in a time when what was once obvious must now be defended. The line between truth and deception isn’t just blurred—it’s being bulldozed. Schools tell children that gender is a feeling, not a fact. Courts and agencies side with minors seeking irreversible changes, while silencing the parents who love them. Men enter women’s locker rooms and are celebrated as 'progress.' But this is not enlightenment—it is rebellion. It is the same old serpent whispering, “Has God indeed said?” (Genesis 3:1).

God’s Design Is Not Optional

God created two sexes—male and female—both sacred, both bearing His image. Deuteronomy 22:5 shows God’s care for distinction, not prejudice. Identity is divine design, not human invention. “For God is not the author of confusion but of peace.” (1 Corinthians 14:33). When society denies that design, it unravels the very order that protects it.

Parental Authority: A God-Given Stewardship

Parents are God’s front-line guardians. Proverbs 22:6 commands us to train up our children in the way they should go—not surrender them to the state or to systems hostile to truth. The moment the government claims a higher right over a child than the parent who loves and raises them, we’ve crossed from policy into idolatry.

Men Cannot Give Birth—Because God Said So

No man can bear life outside God’s design. “Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’” (Isaiah 45:9). Only a woman can bear life because only God can create it. To deny that is not science—it’s sin dressed in science.

The Call to Watch and Stand

Now is not the time for silence. Ephesians 5:11 says, “Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” We must expose deception—not with hatred, but with holy love.

Grace Without Compromise

Grace does not rewrite Scripture; grace makes repentance possible. Jesus said to the woman caught in adultery, “Neither do I condemn you... go and sin no more.” (John 8:11). Truth and love are not opposites; they are twins.

Hope Over Cope: A Call to Courage

To the weary parent, the burdened teacher, the trembling grandparent—take heart. You are not alone. God is still on His throne. The world says “affirm confusion,” but God says “renew your mind.” (Romans 12:2). “Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. Let all that you do be done with love.” (1 Corinthians 16:13-14).

“Grace never compromises truth; truth never cancels grace. Together they rescue the confused and restore the broken.”
