We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

As the flower in the garden stretches toward the light of the sun, so there is in the child a mysterious inclination toward the eternal light. Have you ever noticed this mysterious thing that when you tell the smallest child about God, [he or she] never asks with strangeness and wonder, “What or who is God – I have never seen Him,” but listens with shining face to the words as though they soft loving sounds from the land of home. Or when you teach a child to fold [his or her] little hands in prayer that [he or she] does this as though it were a matter of course, as though [it was] opening for [the child] that world of which [he or she] had been dreaming with longing and anticipation. Or tell them, these little ones, the stories of the Savior, show them the pictures with scenes and personages of the Bible – how their pure eyes shine, how their little hearts beat.
R.C.H. Lenski

Is a Christian couple free to take steps to avoid ever having any children? The issue here is one of motive: Wrong motives for being childless: 1. The world is over-crowded. 2. The world is too corrupt. 3. “We don't like kids!” 4. “We want the money and time to spend on ourselves.” Right motives for being childless: 1. If there is good reason to believe the parents would pass on a genetically fatal disease. 2. If you are physically able to have kids but physically unable to raise and nurture them. 3. If children would impede a clear call to ministry (missionaries). 4. If you are financially unable to provide for them (but this is only legitimate for delaying the bearing of children, not for not having any at all, ever).
