For Thursday, March 19, 2026:
Genesis 1:27b NLT: “Male and female He created them.”
Mankind was never androgynous. God created both men and women. They are distinctly different, separate. Male and female didn’t evolve from some non-sexual being. Think about it – how could they have reproduced? Besides, that philosophy would contradict the Bible. “Male and female He created them.”
Gender confusion – there’s a lot of it in today’s society. We never used to see it, but today, it’s prevalent. In our effort to love the sinner but hate the sin, gender confusion has made its way into the mainstream. As I was growing up, we never heard about same sex relationships. Nowadays, many gays and lesbians are “out,” accepted by many as an alternate lifestyle. A few years ago, I heard a news story about people transitioning from one sex to the other. Now there are thousands! Surgeons can alter the body, but not the DNA. So even fully transitioned individuals will continue to test as their sex at birth. This is a worst-case scenario of our culture’s depravity, the amount and the degree of gender confusion today.
In God’s creative mind, the differences between men and women are not accidents. The differences are good and meaningful; different functions, different job descriptions. Ever wonder which is superior, the man or the woman? According to God, a man is absolutely superior at being a man. A woman is absolutely superior at being a woman. But when a man tries to be a woman or a woman tries to be a man, you have something inferior.
God commanded, “Be fruitful and multiply.” Every living thing that He created obeyed. Blades of grass, plants and trees dropped seeds to multiply. Animals, both cold and warm-blooded, multiplied. Mankind was told to multiply, fill the earth, subdue it, and have dominion. Believers go with God’s plan. Non-believers muck it up.
