34. The Blessings of Children

Global and national birthrates are in a windfall. Our culture paints kids to be a burden and a hindrance to the good life. Scripture, on the other hand, tells us to bear God's image by being fruitful and multiplying; it tells us that children are a blessing that are ultimately granted by God. God created and blessed the one-flesh union with all of its procreative potential.

May we be Christian men who aspire to create loving, multi-generational families composed of committed and productive disciples of Christ.
