I see Mr. Potato Head isn't leaving us after us all.
Yesterday morning Hasbro announced the longtime popular toy was going gender-neutral.
But a few hours after the initial announcement -- in apparent response to the public's reaction -- the company gave assurance that Mr. Potato Head isn't going anywhere.
Glad to hear it.
Jesus gave his opinion on the current gender-inclusive push when he said, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female..." (Mt.19:4).
And he touched on the topic further by warning, "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea" (Mk.9:42).
In other words...
In a day when many young people are already confused about their identity -- and making drastic decisions involving self-mutilation and life-altering hormones -- encouraging further confusion among children is a serious matter.
So I'm happy to hear Mr. Potato Head is sticking around.
And the story points out...
These times call upon us to do whatever we can to stand firm and encourage others to embrace the reality that God made two immutable sexes...
... and out of the masculine and feminine identities He's ordained, we're to serve and glorify Him.
