I was watching a video about abortion featured on someone's Facebook account and I got to thinking- How many believers (or people in general) actually think its ok to kill a human life? I have been amused by the number of televisions shows and commercials devoted to the 'salvation' of animals that are in need, lately. Does anyone find it interesting that some of the same people that are willing to kill unborn children are the same ones pushing for animal rights and throwing money towards groups whose sole purpose is to save animals?
Lets make it personal- Are you willing to spend money to save an animal, but are unwilling to spend money to save a child? Or, are you willing to spend money to save an animal, but are unwilling to face the ramifications of having sex as a married (maybe) couple, so you instead use birth control?
I'm not condemning birth control, I'm condemning the thought behind it. -Ill have a better life if I have less children- more money, more stuff, better cars, etc. So ill just have as much sex as I want and forget about one of the purposes behind sex- children.
God's Word says the following:
1. Children are a gift from God.
2. Children are a heritage from the Lord.
3. Children are a blessing from God.
4. Children are a crown to the aged.
5. A full quiver is a blessing from God.
Have you stopped to think lately where your priorities are? What is the reason behind why you live the way you do? Why have you decided to have so few children?
Am I pushing for everyone to have families with 5 kids or more? Not even close.
I am asking you to evaluate why you have chosen to live the way you do, and to repent if need be. If you can afford children, consider the blessings they bring!
