Culture Conference | Part 1 | Awake or Woke

In this thought-provoking message, Duane exposes the cultural war raging between light and darkness. Referencing Ephesians 5:8, he warns Christians not to be deceived by the lies of the "woke" ideology that promotes moral relativism. The "woke" movement's advocacy for numerous genders beyond male and female exposes the devil's ploy to confuse God's people and lead them astray from biblical truth, as prophesied in Isaiah 5:20. 

The church must remain awake and stand firm on God's unchanging Word, which teaches in Genesis 1:27 and Matthew 19:4 that there are only two genders designed by God - male and female. It is imperative to expose and avoid the unfruitful works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11). Any ideology claiming more than the two God-ordained genders is an insidious deception from the Enemy, whose ultimate aim is to destroy God's beautiful design for human sexuality and the sacred family unit. 

The "woke" movement's redefinition of truth and morality is a tactic straight from Satan himself, who disguises himself as an "angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14). However, the path of supposed enlightenment it offers is a lie that leads to spiritual darkness. The church must resist this false path and instead boldly walk as true "children of light" (Ephesians 5:8), holding forth the light of Christ's transformative truth in an increasingly secular world.
