David Arthur Speaking at Eastern Gate Church in Pickerington, Ohio
Vicki Joy Anderson's, "The Emperor's New Gender"
Available On Kindle & Amazon.
“The Emperor's New Gender” is a short, 50-page booklet that reimagines Hans Christian Anderson's famous children's tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes," with a postmodern twist! Anderson's tale, originally penned in 1837, still has much to teach us today concerning the woes of what is referred to in social psychology circles as pluralistic ignorance—the idea that a person who privately rejects a norm will still go along with it if they believe that everyone else believes it.
In our story, our 21st-century, gender dysphoric Emperor is positioned on a modern stage afront the backdrop of a present-day, PC-movement that is attempting to cow people out of their constitutional rights by rebranding religious freedom, moral convictions, and the preaching of the Gospel as “crimes” and "hate speech."
The story is followed by a two-part Afterword explaining the story within its modern context; with an apologetic aimed at both the mainstream American Church, as well as individuals trapped in the LGBTQ movement.
While the book specifically cites a gender-dysphoric emperor, the aim of the book is not to attack individuals in the LGBTQ movement, but rather to highlight the overly-contrived transgender agenda being propagated upon the American people by those with little to no interest whatsoever in LGBTQ rights or the issues and challenges faced by the people involved in its movement.
The book also serves as a cattle prod to the derrière of an increasingly-drowsy Church that has been lulled to sleep by decades of humorous homilies, pep talks, movie clips, and self-esteem gospel messages. The Church that once believed that “Greater love has no one than this, than he who lays down his life for his friends,” are now touting to unsaved neighbors and coworkers that, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry (for your sin).”
The Gospel is not politically correct—but it is biblically correct. Christians must learn how to speak the Truth in Love. Many Christians today fall prey to speaking the truth without love; but the second failure is just as dangerous—not speaking up at all. That is why the moral of Anderson’s tale still applies today--namely, the dangers of remaining silent when our conscience convicts us to speak. Once we lose the courage to stand for our convictions, lives and liberties will be lost; and our freedoms will be forfeit.

Refined: Life Through Homosexuality, Transgenderism and Beyond
now available on Amazon & Kindle
Using myself as an illustration, as a former homosexual, and former transgender person, with decades of experience in that world, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that homosexuality (including transgenderism) is absolutely mutable and curable!
God has created each one of us in a heterosexual design which cannot be altered. We are born male or female. Our DNA makes us male or female and no surgery in the world can change our DNA. Changing our sex/gender is not possible. Indeed, homosexuality is not truly a sexual orientation at all, but just one type of sin, and a type of bondage. Those who tell us that homosexuality is just one of many sexual orientations seek to keep us in bondage, whether they know it or not.
Once we embrace our heterosexual design, we can find the freedom from the bondage of homosexuality. Being set free from homosexuality (including transgenderism) is just as desirable, just as real, and just as common, as a drug addict being set free from the bondage and hold of drugs. Our "true self" is exactly who we were created to be from conception.
Sex means biological sex and its definition did not change because someone suffers from a disorder. Each of us is born with a race, a color, a sex, and a nationality. Sex is objective, not subjective, and binary — either male or female. Gender dysphoria is confusion, and that would fall under the "mental disorder" category and not the sexual orientation one. When a male begins identifying as a female then that male is no longer mentally stable. To enter into the "transgender" world one must undergo, and continue in, extensive mental health counseling, and that fact alone says that the individual is not mentally stable. The suicide rate amongst transgenders increases with the hormone treatment and even more so with the surgery. We cannot change the meaning of words just because a very small population of mentally unstable individuals "feel" they want to be what they are not.
There are many people being set free from homosexuality and, in fact, there is a whole movement of ex-homosexuals (ex-trans) that are speaking out and exposing the darkness of the LGBT agenda/movement. You will not hear much about these men and women, as the powers that be do not want their stories distributed. However, I have had contact with many men who at one time identified as female and have been set free from those deceptive lies and now live healthy, productive lives as the men they were created to be. And the same for some women I know who once identified as male.
I Belong Amen Ministries is an outreach ministry that has one goal.... to bring HIS Truth, in Love, to a lost and dying world. Exposing the darkness.
Truth can be, and often is, offensive to those who do not live in it, however, "making nice" or "stroking your ego" is not my goal, nor is it my responsibility.
Our One, True, Living GOD, has worked signs and wonders in and through my life more than I could've ever imagined. For me it all began with my father committing suicide, me being molested as a child, opening doors to the occult by way of witchcraft books and symbols and an existence that had no purpose, no dreams, no goals.... only desires and lusts.
Suicide. Molestation. A life doomed and littered with drugs, alcohol, prostitution and even murder. It was a correctional officer that reached me, with Truth, in Love.
30+ years of darkness and death, I now live in Light and Life. One word: Truth. GOD pursued me. GOD chose me, for such a time as this. GOD fed my hungry heart with Truth.
And they [the world] overcame him [the enemy] by the Blood of The LAMB, and by the Word of their Testimony; and they Loved not their lives unto the death. ~ Revelation 12:11
After living for 30+ years in darkness (homosexuality, prostitution, sexual brokenness, transgenderism, drug-addiction, alcohol, trauma and tragedy) there is nothing more Joyful than having GOD stop you in your tracks and give you exactly what you've been asking for and seeking your entire life!!
