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

Spiritual warfare is an ideological conflict, fought in the mind by assaulting the proud fortresses of ideas that sinners erect against the truth.
John MacArthur

My conclusion is that the Bible nowhere prohibits the use of birth control. But are there any texts that suggest or imply that birth control is morally permissible? 1. 1 Corinthians 7:5 – “While this passage does not mention contraception, it does carry important implications for the discussion. Here it seems evident that God's will for the Christian couple is not “maximum fertility,” i.e., the maximum number of conceptions biologically possible during the course of a Christian marriage. By mutual agreement, sexual relations may be renounced for a time in order to pursue spiritual objectives – in this case, prayer. The larger principle would be that Christian couples have the right to choose to “override” the usual responsibility to procreate (Gen. 1:28) for a season in order to pursue a spiritual good” (John Jefferson Davis, Evangelical Ethics, P&R, 2004, p. 39). 2. 1 Corinthians 7:26-28 – Here Paul advises Christians to avoid taking on the responsibilities of family life due to the impending persecution. 3. 1 Timothy 5:8 – This text not only demands that we work or in some way provide financially and physically for our family, but also forbids us doing anything that would hinder such care, even if we are employed. We are forbidden to take on obligations, no matter how well intentioned, which would lead us to fail to provide basic necessities for those who are dependent upon us.

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE POTATO SCALLOPS
1 Cook the whole potato in a pan of boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes.
Heat the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan.
2 Roughly chop the peanuts and cook in the pan with the onion, cumin seeds
and mixed spice for 2-3 minutes until golden.
3 Break the bread into a food processor, leaving the crusts on, and whiz to
make fine crumbs.
4 In a large bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, peanut butter, soft
cheese, soy sauce, Tabasco and pepper.
5 Stir the onion mixture and shape into two burgers, though there is enough
to make four.
6 Wipe the frying pan clean with kitchen paper and return to the heat. Cook
the burgers for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden.
7 For the Potato Scallops: Drain and cool the potato and cut into 1cm wide
slices. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
8 Heat 2cm oil in a separate frying pan. Sieve the flour onto the water and
egg mixture. Then loosely stir together to make a thick, lumpy batter.
9 For the Batter: Separate the egg and whisk the egg yolk with the iced
water. Discard the egg whites.
10 Dip the sliced potatoes into the batter and cook for 1-2 minutes on each
side until crisp and golden. Slice the lettuce and arrange on the base of
the burger buns with the tomato and cucumber.
11 Place a burger on top of each bun and squeeze over a swirl of ketchup
and mayonnaise. Place the lid on top and transfer to a plate. Drain the
potato scallops on kitchen paper and pile on top of the plate with the
burgers.
