4. Modern Ideologies undermining Biblical Manhood & Womanhood
In this session, Pastor Darren Cadapen will examine the variety of new and sometimes not so new ideologies, and consider their impact. It is increasingly evident that the adoption of new gender-driven ideologies is causing significant harm to society. These ideas represent a departure from God's divine blueprint for life and are clear evidence of the 'fruits of rebellion' against Him. Tragically, the truth is being deliberately suppressed. This rejection of God's holy ways is contributing to widespread medical and psychological issues, the repercussions of which will be many broken and damaged lives.
From the series Biblical Manhood and Womanhood
Biblical Manhood and Womanhood: The proven biblical patterns for men, women, and children, designed by God for a life of purpose, stability, and blessing, are rapidly and foolishly being abandoned in favour of a new, secular way of living. These shifting cultural and social fashions, fuelled by social media and influencers, are shaping the rising generation. Once, it was feminism; today, we face new ideas like 'toxic masculinity', 'gender fluidity' and a host of other competing ideologies. Young people are thinking, "why should I get married?", "why have children?" or "why fix my identity?". Sadly, the inevitable consequences of living only for self, inevitably lead to brokenness, loneliness, emotional pain, and unhappiness. These issues affect the church and our witness to the world. We need to examine these new philosophies objectively, understand them and stand firm on biblical foundations.
