This post concludes our four-part series on the ethics of birth control. Here, Mark Driscoll discusses five “levels” of birth control and the biblical and scientific amorality of each of them. Adapted from Religion Saves: And Nine Other Misconceptions. There’s no doubt the Bible says children are a blessing, but the Bible doesn’t seem to address the specific topic of birth control. Is this a black-and-white topic, or does it fall under liberties? Level 1: No Birth Control At the very least, every Christian married couple should cover every aspect of their marriage with prayer, including future children God may bless them with. Through prayer, the Christian couple is demonstrating faith in the goodness and sovereignty of God over all of life, including the womb. Some Christian couples determine to use only prayer in their family planning. As a result, they simply enjoy normal marital sexual relations and trust that if God desires that they have children, he will provide according to his timing. When a Christian couple chooses this approach, trusting that whatever happens …
Content adapted from Religion Saves: And Nine Other Misconceptions by Mark Driscoll. There’s no doubt the Bible says children are a blessing, but the Bible doesn’t seem to address the specific topic of birth control. Is this a black-and-white topic, or does it fall under liberties? Mark Driscoll provides some thoughtful responses to common anti-birth control arguments. Does God command people to have children? It is argued that God commands his people to have children, yet in Genesis 1:28 we read, “God blessed them. And God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.’” Children are a blessing, not a command. Were we commanded to have children, then those who never marry, like Jesus, and those who are barren would be in sin for not obeying God’s command. To turn a blessing into a command is a common error of legalism, which twists something we get to do in delight into something we have to do in duty. Christian married couples typically should desire and pursue children, either on their own or through adoption or fostering, and …
I would like to share with you a video I captured on my iphone of my friends Diana and Tom. I had the privilege of officiating their wedding sometime in september 2011. I also am including a poem I wrote for them – the first poem I have ever written, so I hope you like it. I still believe in happily ever after Even though the divorce rate is still on the rise And every minute, hour and day someone is left with a broken heart But I still believe I still believe in happily ever after Because of it my two daughters still dream And each day, every moment I think about them I will be praying for them to win I still believe I still believe in happily ever after Even though in my marriage, in my very own home there is sometimes strain And I confess, sometimes do want to leave because of my pain But I still believe I still believe in happily ever after Even though you may believe otherwise And because of your experience …
Foxes are pests that wreak havoc in vineyards (e.g., they will eat the grapes). Although the vineyard has been associated with the appearance of the woman (1:6), here it is described as our vineyards and thus refers to their relationship. The foxes represent some hindrances that are threatening to spoil their relationship
I must admit I just don’t know how to title this post. I thought about the following: for better or for worse kick her out when she get sick when context really matter before you jump to conclusion before you demonize somebody great debate grounds for divorce Why are you asking Pat Robertson Talk to an expert or see an ethicist Love has everything to do with it How things can easily be taken out of context Also, there are so many angles to this story – but here is what I personally think: I personally think marriage is for better or for worst – in sickness and in health – love, loyalty and committment. And I would like to encourage anyone living with a partner suffering from Alzheimer’s to remain faithful to your partner, God is faithful and will see you through if you continue to lean on him and rely on his strength. He will also honor you if you honor the wife of your youth. However, I do admit that sometimes in life …
“Marriage is not an end in itself; it is a means by which we may grow in the Lord and realize His glory. Paul S. Rees The struggle is real What if marriage was the breathing ground for character development and Christian maturity? When I entered marriage I didn’t see it that way. But today, I’m persuaded God intended us to grow into being Christlike in every stage of life, but especially when married It isn’t easy living with another person. I don’t care how much you’re in love, you are going to experience some difference of opinion from time to time. It’s not necessarily a bad thing as long as you are handling it in a peaceable manner. I confess that I’ve never been challenged any other time in my life than I am in my married life. That’s because I am very different from my wife and she is very different from me. Like the saying goes – “opposites attract before marriage – then they attack during the marriage.” It is important to put a little more effort …
