We are committed to providing a Christian college education designed to equip the next generation to go into the world as influential servant leaders in their careers and their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Dana C. Davis Chief Communications Officer of Southeastern University said Mutz resigned from the Southeastern University board. \u201cHe stepped down right around the time that he ran for office.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Biblical Foundations statement of Southeastern University<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our understanding of human sexuality is derived from the following biblical principles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-list\"><li>God created humans as relational beings \u2014 the only part of creation that God explicitly designed to have community with Himself (Genesis 1:26). All other forms of community are designed to reflect this relationship between divinity and humanity (Hebrews 10:24\u201325, 1 Corinthians 12:14, Ephesians 5:25).<\/li><li>As a direct result of sin, the community between divinity and humanity was broken (Genesis 3:23\u201324). This brokenness has permeated into all other relationships (Genesis 4:15). Human sexuality is not exempt from the marring effects of separation from the Divine (Romans 1:21-23).<\/li><li>God\u2019s intention for human sexuality is to occur between one genetic male and one genetic female within the covenant of marriage (Genesis 2:18, 21\u201324; Hebrews 13:4).<\/li><li>All forms of sexuality outside of God\u2019s intention are a result of separation from God (1 Corinthians 6:13, 18\u201320) and are illegitimate moral options for the confessing Christian. In Scripture, several sexual behaviors are expressly forbidden, which include but are not limited to fornication, adultery, incest, unnatural sexual intercourse, and homosexual acts (Exodus 20:14; Leviticus 18:7\u201323, 20:10\u201321; Matthew 5:27\u201328; Romans 1:20\u201327; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 4:17\u201319; Colossians 3:5)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Into this broken world, God sent himself in the form of His only begotten Son, Jesus the Christ (John 1:1\u20133, 14). Through His sacrifice, Jesus became the Way to the restoration of the Divine\/human community (John 3:16). Until one has restored his or her relationship with God through His Son, Jesus, all other relationships \u2014 including human sexuality \u2014 will remain broken (John 14:6\u20137).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again Mutz and the City Commissioners will not talk about this, why? Are they afraid of pissing off the LGBTQIA + and <a href=\"https:\/\/polkpridefl.com\/\">Polk Pride<\/a>?
