Rejection of God Leads to Foolish Thinking

“Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools” Romans 1:22 NIV

In a story subtitled “Pennsylvania has continued to ignore President Donald Trump's executive order on keeping biological males out of women's and girls' sports” posted by Fox News Tuesday, it was reported that “Luce Allen, a senior transgender girl, defeated a freshman biological female by less than two-tenths of a second in a 200-meter race at a Pennsylvania high school track meet over the weekend. Allen, of Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School, set a personal record of 25.20 seconds in the race at the SOL American meet. Allen now has six victories on the season, including in the liberty girls' 4x400-meter relay in the same meet. Allen's time would have been the fourth-slowest time among male 200-meter runners, including preliminary heats. The winning times for the boys were 21.72 and 21.96 seconds.” To further illustrate the level of foolish thinking it takes to believe that a boy can become a girl through surgery and/or hormone therapy (making competing against girls fair which is lunacy), Allen’s mother attended the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association board of directors meeting in March, and said that “she and her family have been on a journey for her to transition to the girl that she always has been, and having Allen compete against boys ‘would be cruel’ adding ‘My child is a female in her heart and soul, and according to her medical labs.’”

Unfortunately, this type of irrational thinking is nothing new. Since the beginning of creation mankind has been rejecting God, although they have no excuse for doing so since God has made Himself known through what He has made, and defining their own truth. And this rejection of God’s divine revelation is the thing that leads a person to pursue their own wisdom, thinking that man knows more than the One who created them. Hence the reason, “Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.” When mankind turned away from God, their hearts were darkened and their thinking became futile. 

So, as our world spirals further into moral decay and foolish thinking, don’t be afraid to speak up my friend. This is what we are called to do! Expose deeds of darkness at every opportunity, knowing that we are called to be Truth bearers… assigned to shine God’s light into a dark world.

Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us that those who reject You will be given over to a debased mind and will, therefore, think futile thoughts that deny the existence of You and also science. Help us to be bold in speaking up against injustices such as this Lord that we might protect and defend children—especially when their own parents won’t do so. It’s in your precious name we pray Jesus. Amen. 

Happy Running!
