Deuteronomy 22-24

I love it when God tells His people to wear the right kind of clothes. He tells the men to dress like men and the women to dress like women. I would think this would be a "no-brainer" but it seems to fit within the issues many see in our culture today. We are meant to have and hold our gender roles. God is honored when we act like the person we were created to be – the gender we were created to be. Even if we are confused or wish we were something else – it is not meant to be – and we must overcome. I am familiar with people who do not feel comfortable in their skin. They ask God, "Why make me a man or women if I feel like I should be someone else?" Some even look at genetics and say, "I am supposed to be something else" or "I am gay because I would be better as a man or woman." All of these are wrong, and this passage (and others) tell us this. We are meant to be what God has made us. Some are born with the gene that leans to alcoholism (or other things) but that does not give the excuse to follow through with it. God made us to be us – so get comfortable with who God made you to be and discover what biblical masculinity or femininity is meant to be. Might I suggest this book for help.
