Birth Control



Recently a good friend of mine added to her beautiful family! I wanted to write about it because she is one tough lady. She is the mom of 6 boys and her husband is serving in Iraq until the end of the year. She not only home-schools her children and takes care of the home, but also runs a business doing doula and midwifery care. ( www.merryblessings.com )

While out and about, people often ask her why she has so many children. She has given this area of her life over to the Lord. She takes the song, "I Surrender All" to include her womb. May heaps of blessing be upon her, her family and her husband! -And may he safely return to a stronger, happier family!

Amen!



I read an article in World Magazine about this and was in disbelief. It sickens me to think about this. But if you think about it, God said to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it... right? So, we quit doing that, when the promise of sexual freedom came about with the introduction of birth control. Before that, the church saw the value in children and babies. This is less and less true today. Since I have five children, I can tell you from first-hand experience, that there is a sour taste in the mouths of people (even at church) when we decided that God knows best, even in the area of our fertility. Instead of taking a pill to halt or destroy new life, instead of cutting our own bodies in an effort to stop God's future blessings, we have asked God to bless us how He sees fit. Many people do not get it. But I can tell you for certain, that God can handle it. He is God.

I say all that to say this: There are consequences for disobedience to God's Word. -And this video does a good job of showing us just what messing with God's Will and our bodies has done... to our future. Forget about 'going green.' We will be 'going Muslim' by the looks of things.
