BIBLICAL & SCIENTIFIC ANSWERS

Can men breastfeed? Such a question would have been ridiculous even just a few years ago—no one would think to ask it because, of course, men are not designed to breastfeed infants. But because of the influence of the transgender movement, “breastfeeding” has been replaced in some contexts with “chestfeeding” and “breastfeeding mother” with “lactating parent,” as some people claim that, yes, men can nurse babies.

I have sad news for you. Our political system is doomed! We ultimately can’t fix the world’s political systems, despite promises from politicians about what they claim they can do to fix it! After all, God’s Word tells us this planet will have all sorts of problems physically and politically until Christ returns. Then the planet will be judged by fire; a new heavens and earth will be created; and Christ will rule his eternal kingdom. So humans can’t fix this planet—it’s doomed in its current state. God did ordain government to maintain law and order—although governments have intruded on many issues (e.g., the definition of marriage) that are not part of their ordained role. I applaud Christians in politics who can be salt and light in the political arena, influence the culture for the Lord, and help maintain religious liberty so that we can freely share the gospel. Regardless of what issue I’m addressing in public talks, one of the main points I make in all my presentations (in a variety of ways) is that we can’t fix things (politically, socially, etc.) on this earth! And sadly, the majority of people are also doomed, but there’s real hope! What we can do is proclaim the “fix” for each individual—and that “fix” is to respond to the gospel and build all of one’s thinking on God’s Word! And the more we see individuals building their thinking on God’s Word, the more impact we will have on the culture. Each of us needs to recognize what it means that we sinned in Adam (Romans 5:12), committing high treason against the holy Creator God. We deserve God’s wrath yet get grace: “He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities” (Psalm 103:10). Just think of what God has done for each of us and what that means: “For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation” (Romans 5:6–11). All I can say is, “Wow! God did this for me!” And he offers this free gift of salvation to all who will freely receive it! “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8).
