It Is Legal In 38 States...
Recently, a Dean of an Independent Fundamental Baptist College posted to his social media page an update regarding the fundraising attempts to hire a lawyer in attempts to lessen a sentence on his incarcerated son serving a long term for sexually molesting an underage girl from the Christian School where he was on staff. The son admitted guilt and the judge gave 48 years plus probation and a sex offender tag.

Are There Open Pulpits?
It’s been about ten years since I last looked for a place to preach and pastor. I had friends looking for churches and availed myself of the placement program from my seminary. The majority of churches that I remember were like these:
— Small but with potential (their description) requiring a bi-vocational pastor
—Had a history of short-tenured pastors (1-3 years)
—Had individual essential distinctives (Bible versions, music, pro or anti Calvinist)

How would you deal with someone who has had a sex-change operation
Bruce Jenner has made the whole “sex change” concept “socially acceptable.” Of course we who are faithful to the Kingdom of God would take a different view.
People are born with either XX chromosomes or XY. That is their objective gender. Although some people may be born with both genital sets (extremely rare), the XX or XY pattern is one or the other.
