Today’s Thought “Perennially Fantastic” G. Ward

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:26-27

 

Commentary after commentary is explicably comparing Michael Sam (recently drafted by NFL’s St. Louis Rams and openly gay) with the position of Jackie Robinson’s plight (the Brooklyn Dodgers started him at first base on April 15, 1947) in becoming America’s first Black professional baseball player. Forget about what another human being says concerning the appropriation of your body. What does HOLY GOD say (cf. Ge.19:4-5, Lev.18:22, 20:13, Mt.19:11-12, Ro.1:26-27, 2:15, 13:8-10, 1 Cor. 6:9-11, 1 Ti.1:8-11)?  Whether you realize it or not we’re not in this eroding society as some suppose. We’ve capsized into a massive cistern! Are you kidding? I’m to be judged on what I do vs. who I am? Before I look at a practicing heterosexual or homosexual, they’re male or female. Moreover, before becoming a practitioner of sexual intimacy, I was a boy. If I’m privileged in becoming even more senior and stimulants cease working, I’ll still be a BLACK man with more energy!

Happy Tuesday!
