Good For You

"Not everything is good for us"

There's a video produced by the Family Policy Institute of Washington (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfO1veFs6Ho) that explores the transgender bathroom situation in an interesting way. A 5'9" white male asks students at Washington University if they would accept him if he believed that he was a 6'4" Chinese woman. After asking them about the transgender bathroom (and all of them responding positively to the new integration) he brought up his own self-identification. He even went so far as to express that he felt like he was a first grader. Many of the students didn't think it was their "place" to tell his that he was wrong or misguided, many of them merely said, "Good for you."

I would like to reiterate that not everything is good for us. Why is it that, "The only sin now is pointing out sin." I think that speaks volumes to what we are living through today. Of course we should not be rude, critical, or malicious in our judgments of those around us, but when people are making choices that will effect their eternal happiness, it is okay to gently, and with the love of Christ, show them data that proves that might not be the best way to live. That's what I'm attempting to do with this blog, but also with my day-to-day conversations with many of my friends and family.
