THIRD PARENTING REVIVAL, Part 4

THIRD PARENTING REVIVAL, Part 4

How much do we really fear God when it comes to stopping the godly seed coming forth?

I think of the passage in Exodus 1:17-20 where the Israeli midwives saved the male babies alive because they feared God more than the king of Egypt. Verse 21 says, “The midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved their men children alive.”

In all honesty, we 21st century Christians should be hanging our heads with shame. The Israeli midwives acted at great risk to their own lives in order not to offend God. We have to ask ourselves, “Where is our fear of God relating to contraception, sterilization, and abortion?” There are many so-called Christians who support abortion in order to show Christian love or compassion toward the mother of an unwanted pregnancy. Where is the fear of God in that compassion?

These so-called Christian groups do not even have a Pharaoh breathing commands to kill male babies or else risk their own lives. And yet without any fear of God, these Christians side with the spirit o the devilish Pharaoh. How insane can one get when one does not fear God?

But, I can multitudes of Christian saying, “We do not support abortion.” And yet contraception and sterilization accomplish the same ends, by purposefully blocking the godly seed of whom the anti-Christ Pharaoh of spiritual Egypt is still afraid. All contraceptive pills have the potential to abort a baby.

THIRD PARENTING REVIVAL, Part 3

What excuses do we offer for unwanted pregnancies?

Speaking of the children of Israel, Exodus 1:12 says, “But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.”

The circumstances could not have been more difficult for the children of Israel as they suffered under the bondage of slavery. One could easily form the opinion that this would not be the right time to raise any children, let alone a large family.

Even the Israeli midwives feared God more than the Pharaoh of Egypt, and with great risk to their own lives, preserved the male babies alive. Exodus 1:20-21 tells us that God “dealt well with the midwives… and because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.” I am being a little subjective, but did He perhaps give them safe houses to help keep the babies alive?

All our lame excuses for not gratefully accepting all of the children God has destined us to bring forth “in the image and likeness of God” pale into ashes in comparison to the iron furnace of Egypt’s slavery.

How unbelieving and lacking in faith we are who dare to call ourselves the people of God in this generation. It is indeed time for the church of God to repent. Contraception and sterilization serve the same end as abortion—the elimination of the image and likeness of God in the earth!

THIRD PARENTING REVIVAL, Part 2

Are children a blessing or a curse? I have not found any Scriptures to support the notion that it is a blessing from God to limit children. Nor can we expect God’s blessing to be upon us when we deliberately choose to limit our family size.

It is not my desire to judge or condemn, for God is our Judge. I believe, however, that someone has to be brave enough to speak the truth, despite all the excuses that the Christian crowd continues to throw against it.

Genesis 1:28 says, “God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it.” God has never taken this mandate away, for it is an eternal blessing that has never been withdrawn.

Even after the fall and the great flood, God reiterated His mandate to Noah to “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,” not only once, but twice. Genesis 9:1-7.

Even in times of great trial, God still looked for fruitfulness from His people (Exodus 1:1-21). And when He sent them into captivity, He still commanded them to be fruitful (Jeremiah 29:4-6).

THIRD PARENTING REVIVAL--EMBRACING THE GODLY SEED, Part 1

“A true man of God will not take the easy road if it involves compromise.”

A very vital challenge in this parenting revival is the call of the Spirit of God, and clearly defined in Scripture, to not limit the children God wants to give us.

Despite the resistance of many throughout the Christian church toward this aspect of parenting revival, there continues to be a small stream of parents whose hearts God has touched and who are teachable to this challenge.

This truth is most challenging because it cuts across the status quo of most churches. I believe with all my heart that it is high time that all “so called” Bible believing Christians reexamine the Scriptures about limiting the godly seed.

Many Christian woman sacrifice raising children on the altar of careerism, and most Christian husbands do not care to ask why? Most churches applaud the working woman while the stay at home mother receives no praise or encouragement.

Most of us men are blindly following the crowd. But is it right to follow the crowd?

SECOND PARENTING REVIVAL--MOTHERS NED ENCOURAGING, Part 3

Men, we must understand that home embracing motherhood is so important to the lives of our growing children. If we men do not have a strong conviction about this, our wives will not feel their importance in the home.

A wife and mother who is at home makes all the difference between a house and a home. As husbands, we need a home, not just a house. Children need a home, not just a house. Without a wife and mother in the home, the home not only feels empty, but is empty.

Day Care centers are not a place where children are bonded. Children constantly need their own mother’s eyes, their own mother’s approval, their own mother’s encouragement, their own mother’s loving discipline, and their own mother’s embrace.

Day care centers, as well as state schools, deprive children for hours every day of the blessing of true motherhood. Every hour a growing child is forced to be without his or her own godly mother is an hour of deprivation in the life that child.

What’s the point of “mother bonding” if the child is forsaken for hours five days a week?

Why do I write this to men? Because we can help make this happen by our godly counsel, encouragement and provision.

Be encouraged to encourage your wife. Colin
