Lesson
Summary –
We are in
week three of our apologetics module series called “Deconstruction.” This week,
we began a two-part lesson dealing with sex, gender, sexual identity, and
gender dysphoria.
This is a
topic that is getting a lot of press and your students are being confronted
with it daily in their schools, social media, television and movies. How to
think biblically about the topic is key to accepting God’s design for
sexuality, including their own. Here are the key points from this week’s study:
•
Biological
sex is based on design, while gender, gender identity, and gender dysphoria are
all based on desire. You can’t reassign God’s design.
•
Everyone has
a biological blueprint as either male or female from the moment of conception;
it is coded into your DNA. A person can alter their physical anatomy to mimic
the opposite gender, but they cannot change their biological blueprint.
•
Our
biological blueprint has a Designer, who created you as either a boy or girl
for His purposes and He declared his creation good. (Genesis 1:26-28; Psalm
139:15)
•
The struggle
with gender identity and gender dysphoria has more to do with disordered
desires and feelings than with assigned anatomy.
There’s more
than a good chance that your student will need help reconciling the daily
messages that are bombarding them that encourage and celebrate sexuality
choices and what they were taught today. Perhaps your student is struggling
with confused feelings about their own sexual identity. Don’t avoid the
conversation or condemn them; instead teach them the clear principles of sex
and sexuality from God’s Word. Study this topic together using the truth of the
Word of God as your guide.
