God Doesn’t Make Mistakes
Every time I turn on the news lately, my heart aches. Children are being told they can change what God has already called good. Parents are confused, teachers are pressured, and doctors, the very people trusted to protect life, are affirming lies instead of truth.
It’s heartbreaking to see a world so lost that it celebrates confusion as courage. When I see children being told that their feelings define reality, or adults encouraging them to reject their God-given identity, I can’t help but grieve. This isn’t compassion. This isn’t love. It’s deception, and it’s stealing peace from the most vulnerable.
I’m not writing this out of anger. I’m writing it because I’m heartbroken over how the enemy is twisting identity and using it to target God’s creation.
God’s Word makes it crystal clear. We are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). He formed us in His image, male and female (Genesis 1:27). Every detail of who we are was spoken into existence by His hand. God doesn’t make mistakes.
But the enemy’s oldest trick has always been the same: “Did God really say…?” (Genesis 3:1). The same lie that led Eve astray in the Garden is being whispered today, disguised as “be your authentic self” or “follow your truth.” Yet any “truth” that contradicts God’s truth isn’t truth at all.
When we start believing that feelings outweigh God’s design, we open the door to confusion, chaos, and heartbreak.
What breaks my heart most is seeing how deeply our society has fallen into confusion. When doctors, teachers, and leaders affirm what goes against God’s Word, they’re not helping, they’re harming.
Children are being guided by emotions instead of truth. Parents are told to stay silent or risk being labeled hateful. Even faith leaders are bending Scripture to fit the culture instead of standing firm on what God has already spoken.
It’s not compassion to affirm a lie. It’s not love to agree with something that leads to destruction. True love tells the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.
And the saddest part is that even some Christians see nothing wrong with this. It’s one thing for nonbelievers to fall for the enemy’s lies, but it’s another when a follower of Christ, someone who knows God’s Word, chooses to affirm deception in the name of “love.”
The world has twisted what love means. Love doesn’t mean silence. It doesn’t mean standing by while someone walks toward destruction. It means caring enough to tell the truth, even when it costs you.
It’s not hateful or judgmental to speak the truth; it’s actually the most loving thing you can do. What’s unloving is to lie to someone just to avoid being called hateful. That’s not compassion. That’s fear and selfishness. It’s worrying more about how you’ll be labeled than about the person’s eternal well-being.
The enemy has always hated what God loves, and that includes us. From the very beginning, he has sought to destroy God’s creation, to twist what was once beautiful, and to convince us to reject the very image we were made in.
When God formed humanity, He called us His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10). We were made in His likeness, bearing the image of the Creator Himself (Genesis 1:27). That’s what makes the enemy furious, because every human life reflects the glory of God.
And what better way for him to attack the Creator than to get people to destroy His masterpiece? When he convinces someone to reject their God-given body, he’s not just distorting identity, he’s tearing apart the image of God Himself.
This is not just a social issue. It’s a spiritual one. The devil’s deception isn’t about gender alone; it’s about erasing the fingerprints of God from His creation.
But no amount of surgery, hormones, or ideology can change what God has already declared. The truth remains: you were fearfully and wonderfully made.
There’s obviously a political side to all of this, with laws, policies, and agendas being pushed in schools and media, but the deeper truth is that this is a spiritual battle. The enemy is using confusion to divide families, corrupt innocence, and tear down what God built.
Scripture tells us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world (Ephesians 6:12). This isn’t about left or right. It’s about truth versus deception. Light versus darkness. God versus the enemy of our souls.
And for many Christians, it’s not easy to speak up. It can feel almost impossible to help someone see truth, especially when they don’t believe in God. The greatest deception the enemy ever pulled was convincing people he doesn’t exist. Because if someone doesn’t believe in God, they won’t recognize the lies of the one trying to destroy them.
How can we help someone see themselves through God’s eyes when they don’t believe in Him? How can we show them the enemy’s traps when they don’t believe there’s a devil at all? It’s heartbreaking. And yet, we still have to try, with prayer, with compassion, and with truth.
As believers, our response can’t be hatred or mockery. It has to be truth spoken in love. We can stand firm without being cruel. We can protect children without condemning people. We can pray for those who are caught in confusion and ask God to open their eyes to who they truly are in Him.
The answer isn’t to fight harder. It’s to shine brighter. To speak the truth with compassion. To teach our children who they are in Christ before the world tries to tell them otherwise.
Let’s pray for our nation, for the parents who feel lost, for the doctors and leaders who have forgotten God’s design, and for the children being led astray. And let’s pray for the Church to rise up with both boldness and grace.
Because even in all this, God is still sovereign. Truth still stands. And no lie, no agenda, and no darkness will ever erase what God has made.
Lord, help us stand firm in truth while walking in love. Give us courage to speak when it’s easier to stay silent and compassion to see others through Your eyes. Protect the hearts of our children, guide those lost in confusion, and strengthen Your people to live unashamed of Your Word.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
