We Love God!

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

I could no more doubt the power of prayer than I could disbelieve the law of gravity.
C.H. Spurgeon

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.

150 ml Dry white wine
1 Shallot; finely chopped
Few coriander stalks
Coriander leaves to garnish
2 tb Basil leaves

2 tb Coriander leaves

2 tb Vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS

ORIENTAL PESTO
Place the cleaned mussels in a saucepan, pour over the dry white wine, add
the shallot and coriander stalks. Place on a high heat, cover with a tight
fitting lid and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mussels open.
Meanwhile for the pesto, blend all of the ingredients together in a food
processor or liquidiser, adding enough oil to form a paste. Drain the
cooked mussels in a colander, strain the resulting juices through a fine
strainer, return to a clean pan.
Add the oriental pesto to the pan and taste for seasoning. Be careful with
salt as the stock will contain a natural amount of salt anyway.
Dress the mussels in a serving bowl, pour over the stock and garnish with
the coriander leaves, serve immediately.

“When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God. #Henry Blackaby”
