We are living in an anti-child culture. This culture seeks pleasure and self over all else. Whatever makes them “happy” is what they want. Consider this article from CNBC in which they want you to know that kids make you poor and you’ll save a lot of money if you don’t have them, as if money is everything. “Your friends may tell you having kids has made them happier. They’re probably lying. Research shows that parenthood leads to a happiness…
The disciples came to Jesus and asked Him what the signs of His second coming and the end of the world would be. Jesus began describing all that would take place and in the middle of His discourse with them, He said, “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold” (Matthew 24:12). Evil will abound and the love of many will grow cold. We can see this happening today. Evil (Satan) is the opposite of good…
We live in a highly sexualized culture. We can’t even watch a football game without seeing scantily-clad women and commercials that would make our grandmothers roll over in their graves. Evil is considered good and celebrated and good is considered evil and offensive. Pornography is watched by most men (and even many women now) and living with one’s boyfriend before marriage is considered okay even in the Christian community. How do parents raise their children to withstand the sexual aggression…
“There are no high-fertility countries that are gender equal,” according to an article in The New York Times called Americans are Having Fewer Children. “Women have more agency over their lives, and many feel that motherhood has become more of a choice.” Many are not choosing to have children and be home to raise them. No, they want to be men and have freedom to have careers, use birth control so they can have sex without consequences, and pursue their…
God weaves babies together in the protection of the womb. Satan wants abortion to murder those babies. God wants mothers home nursing those babies. Satan wants those babies in daycares being given bottles by strangers. God wants mothers home raising their children up in godliness. Satan wants mothers to have careers and the children to be raised in public schools where God is not allowed to be mentioned. God wants children to be brought up in the nurture and the…
Since my viral post, I find that some women are angriest when I teach that women should carefully ponder whether or not they should go to college and that they should be keepers at home since they seem to love their careers so much. As many of you know, I have a hard time with college for women for numerous reasons. The biggest reason is that it’s opposite of what God calls young women to do and may even keep…
Writen by Joel Ohman, Executive Director of AbortionFacts.com and author of the bestselling (and controversial) Other Bodies, a secular fiction book that presents the Christian pro-life viewpoint in compelling Young Adult thriller form. Pregnancy is beautiful, powerful, amazing. Where there was one, now there is two. God creates, and in His astonishing generosity, He grants women the opportunity to share in this new, generative, life-forming process. A new life begins. A new body is formed. But with this wonderful opportunity…
Before feminism and birth control, children were valued in America. The woman’s place in the home was valued and so was the man’s place as protector and provider. America was founded upon biblical principles and this is what made it great for many years because God’s ways are good, and acceptable, and perfect. Most today, even Christians, don’t value children and think that having only a few children is all couples should have. This mindset is from feminism and birth…
A song called I’ve Never Been to Me was written in 1977 but didn’t become popular until 1982. I remember listening to it when I was young but never paid much attention to the words. Ken randomly began singing this song on our walk the other day and told me how much he loved it when he was a teenager so we listened to the song. When Charlene sang the paragraph that I highlighted in bold below, tears sprung to my…
“Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate” (Psalm 127:3-5). A heritage is usually tangible like money or an estate. It’s inherited from someone else. Reward means something is…
