Malevolent forces in our culture work through radical progressives, Hollywood, the music industry and social media to lure impressionable, peer-dependent youth.

Gender dysphoria (confusion/discomfort with one's biological sex) has always existed, but now the problem is exploding as Satan exploits it to destroy our precious young people. I've advised parents to watch a documentary on the life of famous singer Karen Carpenter. She was praised by her peers as possessing the purest voice of her generation (36 million record sales) yet she deceived herself at 90 lbs. that she was fat and starved herself to death at 32.

4 Steps to Stop Seduction

1. Spiritual warfare. As parents and pastors, we must remain steadfast in intercessory prayer on behalf of our young people. We have power over the evil one who is a defeated foe! We must exercise our authority, resist the devil and "cast out demons" in Jesus Name.

March CM Cover2. Stand guard. We must be "watchmen on the wall" safeguarding our families from ungodly influences. We must "give no opportunity to the devil" to work through computers, iPhones, cable, TV, music, books, magazines and friends who don't share a clear-cut biblical worldview. "He who walks with the wise will be wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm." (Prov. 13:20).

3. Stop deception. In school and church settings, survey and stop any unbiblical teaching about sexuality and gender selection. God is our Creator and He made us "male and female" and that's not left up to us to decide!

4. Showcase masculinity and femininity. Contrary to what our culture puts forth, God designed men and women with different traits and roles that our children need to see so they can emulate. Learn what scripture teaches about men and women, and then live your life to the fullest according to God's magnificent design.
