Excuses Not to Have a Big Family

It is tragic that so many greedy people are successfully destroying the family nowadays. It cannot be denied--evil and money go hand in hand (1st Timothy 6:10). No woman would ever dress immodestly on TV if it weren't for the love of money. No beer trucks would ever roll down the streets if it weren't for the love of money. No gambling casinos would ever open their doors if it weren't for the love of money...So many married couples have made the foolish decision NOT to have a large family because of a lack of money, a bigger house, a better job, etc. People in the old days weren't worried about whether or not they were going to be able to put their kids through college (there were no colleges back then). I knew a man who didn't want to have more than 2 children because he couldn't afford to put a third through college. Although some might think his mentality respectable, I simply don't agree with it. I think college is important, but not more important than having children. Many of the most successful men in history never finished high school. I think it is dangerous to base our decision to have (or not to have) children upon economics, college, a home, a better job, or anything dealing with money.

It takes faith in God to have a big family nowadays! While the world is criticizing you (including worldly believers), and evil organizations like Planned Parenthood are trying to talk you into not having anymore children, and your doctor is telling you that your back can't handle anymore babies, and your family is telling you that small families are the norm nowadays, and your friends are telling you that you need to give yourself a break...IT TAKES FAITH IN GOD TO HAVE A BIG FAMILY NOWADAYS!

Families of 6 to 10 children were very common 50 years ago; now government-sponsored monstrosities like feminism, lesbianism, the public school system, abortion, Planned Parenthood, the Federal Reserve Bank, and Hellivision have successfully reduced today's family down to a shocking 0.90 children per family in 2004 according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
