Many, even committed Christians who have submitted their childbearing to the Lord, question, “Should we really continue having children in these economically troubled times?”
I found the following quote quite interesting in that light. “Throughout the course of history, there is no instance of economic growth accompanied by population decline.”
This quote comes from Don Feder, in his summarizing the important issues brought forth in the DVD Demographic Winter: The Decline of the Human Family which explores the rapid worldwide decline in birthrates and how it will impact many areas of our lives.
If you tend to see children as a burden, especially during economically tough times I encourage you to check God’s view of this, in your Bible. The following resources may be helpful too.
And if you see children as a blessing from God whenever they come, you will be encouraged by these.
