Is all the LGBTQ+ talk influencing my children?
9 November 2021 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, I am feeling woefully unprepared to parent teenagers in 2021. Right now I am struggling to know what to say on the subjects of sexual orientation and gender identity. The terminology has changed so drastically from what I had expected as I raised my kids—e.g. “gender assigned at […] Source: https://atoday.org/is-all-the-lgbtq-talk-influencing-my-children/

Wednesday: A Slave in Egypt
In the book of Deuteronomy, one theme appears and reappears: that of the Lord’s redeeming His people Israel from the land of Egypt. Over and over, they are reminded of what God has done for them: “So the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm, with great terror and with signs and wonders” (Deuteronomy 26:8; see also Deuteronomy 16:1-6).
All through the Old Testament, in fact, the story of the Exodus has been referred to as an example of God’s mighty deliverance, by His grace, from the slavery and oppression of Egypt: “For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, I redeemed you from the house of bondage” (Micah 6:4).
Even in the New Testament, this idea appears, with the Exodus of Egypt by God’s great power a symbol of salvation by faith in Christ: “By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned” (Hebrews 11:29; see also 1 Corinthians 10:1-4).
Read Deuteronomy 5:6-22, where Moses repeats the law, the Ten Commandments, the foundation stipulation of their covenant with Yahweh. Notice the fourth commandment and the reason given here for it. What is being said there that reveals the reality of law and grace?
Moses repeats the basic commandment to rest on the seventh-day Sabbath, but he gives it an added emphasis. That is, though it has been written in stone in Exodus, here Moses is expanding on what had already been given them. Keep the Sabbath, not only as a memorial of creation, but as a memorial of redemption from Egypt. God’s grace saved them from Egypt and offered them rest from their works (Hebrews 4:1-5). Now, in response to the grace God gave them, they needed to extend that grace to others.
In this case, then, the seventh-day Sabbath becomes not just a powerful symbol of creation but a powerful symbol of redemption and grace. Everyone in the household, not just the children, but the servants, the animals, and even the strangers among them, can rest. The Sabbath extends the grace given to the Jews to others, as well, even to those outside of the covenant people themselves. And it is found in the heart of God’s law. What God has graciously done for them, they need to do for others. It’s that simple.
Read Matthew 18:21-35. In what way is the principle in this parable revealed in the Sabbath commandment, especially as emphasized in Deuteronomy? |

He Careth for Me
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7.
Let all who are afflicted or unjustly used, cry to God. Turn away from those whose hearts are as steel, and make your requests known to your Maker. Never is one repulsed who comes to Him with a contrite heart. Not one sincere prayer is lost. Amid the anthems of the celestial choir, God hears the cries of the weakest human being. We pour out our heart’s desire in our closets, we breathe a prayer as we walk by the way, and our words reach the throne of the Monarch of the universe. They may be inaudible to any human ear, but they can not die away into silence, nor can they be lost through the activities of business that are going on. Nothing can drown the soul’s desire. It rises above the din of the street, above the confusion of the multitude, to the heavenly courts. It is God to whom we are speaking, and our prayer is heard.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 174.
We should not darken our own path or the path of others with the shadow of our trials. We have a Saviour to whom to go, into whose pitying ear we may pour every complaint. We may leave all our cares and burdens with Him, and then our labor will not seem hard or our trials severe…. By the exercise of living faith you can separate from everything that is not in accordance with the mind of God, and thus bring heaven into your life here below. Doing this, you will have sunshine at every step. When the enemy seeks to enshroud the soul with darkness, sing faith and talk faith, and you will find that you have sung and talked yourself into the light.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 233.

Dear Friends,
Like all children, I would sometimes tire of playing by myself. When I would feel restless, my grandmother would sometimes get out her large photo album for me to enjoy. I’d sit it upon my lap and carefully look at each picture and try to reconstruct the story behind it. There were some very old tintypes, some photos of people I had never met, others that were of people who were very dear to me. I loved the times my grandmother would look at the album with me, because then she would tell me a little about the relatives who were pictured there. One of the photos that fascinated me was of a very old couple named Aunt Ida and Uncle Ben who lived in the western part of the United States. I had never met them, as they were too old to travel the long way to Michigan. Aunt Ida was my grandmother’s aunt and she had been named after her.
One day, when I was in my teens, I received a tiny box with an unfamiliar postmark in the mail. When I opened the box, I found a plastic gardenia brooch that glowed in the dark. Removing it from the box, and unfolding the note underneath, I learned that Aunt Ida had loved that pin and wore it often. She recently had died and in her will, she had left me this pin that had been so precious to her. There was also a recent photograph for me to remember her.
I was shocked! I had no idea that Aunt Ida or Uncle Ben even knew that I existed. Although I never wore that gaudy pin, I kept it for many years. (Sadly, it was burned up along with everything else in the house fire we had when Ronnie Jay was a baby.) It was precious to me because this lady, whom I had never met, had thought enough of me to want me to have something that she had valued so much. Occasionally, I would take it out of that tiny box, unwrap it, and feel special. Unfortunately,
We have Someone Who has given us something far more precious than that glow-in-the-dark brooch. Our Great Redeemer has given us His Holy Word which tells of HIs Great Love and Sacrifice. Yet, how often we take this Precious Gift for granted and rarely open His Great Message to us. We keep it as a possession like any other book without allowing its Author to take possession of us. Our Dear Saviour pleads, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” John 5:39
Indeed, from Genesis to Revelation, God’s Holy Word reveals the Great Plan of Salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. Indeed, on the road to Emmaus, He began “at Moses and all the prophets, [and] expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” Luke 24:27 Since Jesus is Great Theme of the Bible, shouldn’t we study that Word which reveals to us “the Way, the Truth, and the Life”? John 14:6
The stories of the Patriarchs to the prophecies of Revelation are better than a family album, for they “are able to make [us] wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” 2 Tim 3:15 “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come” 1 Cor 10:11 “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” Rom 15:4 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Tim 3:16, 17
May we “study to show [ourselves] approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Tim 2:15 May we hide His Word in our heart that we might not sin against God. 119:11 May we see Jesus in every page of Scripture and be filled to overflowing with love for the One Who loves us so.
