The global fertility has dropped and therefore can this be an indication that we are in the end days?
I think yes we are, but we still have to live a godly life and not give in to fear.
This is also because generally self is on the throne and children are not considered a blessing.
For some they are a consequence of biological entrapment and are easily gotten rid of.
People use many reasons as an excuse, but most of them go against what God wants for His people.
Feminism has had a big part in turning people off having children and many women have put off motherhood until too late, to become childless and unhappy women.
There's no finer career than being a full time wife and mother and the usual urge to procreate is God-given and sacred.
This sad world needs babies and pregnancy and breast feeding, and booties and prams. Every child is wanted by God and its birthright is to be loved and later on to love.
As long as this world is turning, babies should be cherished and wanted and rocked and loved. For babies are a Gift from our Creator God.
In truth, it seems that what pleases God these days is disregarded and the evil one is having a field day.
The love of many grows cold and sin is increasing, so it can be a sign that we are nearing the end times..
We need to stand firm in our faith and live our life according to godly principles. Making families and bearing children is something that will please God and be an eternal treasure.
Let's keep on keeping on in trust and faith and invest in eternal treasures. Because even in these end days, not everyone's love has grown cold.
The unsettled estate of our world has led many to wait to have children. Some are unable to provide financially, some are concerned of the world in which they would need to live. No matter the reasons, may our hearts not grow cold but remain fervent for the things of the Lord.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you say, Joanne. But we still need to have children and not give in to fear. So many precious children are denied life either through contraception or abortion... may we continue in affirming that children are a blessing from the LORD..
DeleteWhen Roe v. Wade was decided (1973) by nine male justices, abortion was legitimized. Young women, parents and boyfriends saw it as acceptable and a quick solution to an unplanned pregnancy. I don't think the risks and side effects were really understood.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that when Roe v. Wade was decided the U.S. was already participating in experiments on aborted fetuses in Finland. The Wistar Institute (Philadelphia) was helping with funding.
I agree. There are so many risks both physical and emotional...interesting about the aborted fetuses... all about the dollar... just another way the world rejects God by destroying new life... life at every stage is a gift isn't it?
DeleteAmen Glenys. You spoke to the heart of the matter here. And I'm glad you did. I'm so heartbroken for the babies and I pray for them all the time.
ReplyDeleteThanks bunches for sharing this poignant message with Sweet Tea & Friends this month sweet friend.
I guess with easier abortion, there's less stress... until after it...
