How Does The Selfish and Sinful Nature We Embrace Affect Our Relationships and Wellbeing?
Our sinful nature, if we embrace that nature, our natural nature, we rebel against God and all that He provides and blesses us with.
Children are one of those things.
Psalm 127:3-5 ESV
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
Psalm 127:3 ESV
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.
God's Holy Word makes this clear.
When we brag about sinful and foolish choices we turn away from God's grace, mercy and blessings.
"DINKS" Shouldn't Brag About Being Childless
Video from Brian Holdsworth
"There was a video that had gone viral recently and even made a few news headlines of a couple who has committed themselves to living the DINK lifestyle. Which at this point, I’m not sure if it’s a euphemism or a pejorative, but if you don’t know, it’s an acronym which stands for double income no kids.
And in the video they extolled all the reasons why their life is one to be envied with all the great privileges that they get to enjoy as a result of this lifestyle choice. And what struck me about it was how superficial and self-centered all the of the privileges and benefits that they had identified were." from the video introduction
