On the Duggar's and their 19th child 

I read some scathing comments about the Duggar's today that were WAY out of line. May God bless them for enduring the type of vitriol I read about them.

Every time I tell someone how many kids I have I get a list of excuses as to why they are not having any more. I presume your reasons are justified before you speak a word ... Seriously I do (and all my readers should as well) ... That said, if it bothers you enough to tell me, then maybe that is something you should take up with God.

Families with lots of kids are a visible voice to the truth about our purpose.
Families with lots of kids undermine weak excuses for not having more children by demonstrating, often on meager means, that it is possible.
There is no doubt that the future belongs to those who have children -- especially those who have them in great numbers.

The small family model is unsustainable as a value. It will eventually be replaced by those with values that give precedence to having children.

We have 4 kids and I get told by people that they don't know how we do it - they tell me how they have a hard time with 2. I tell them that 4 is not very many and how I wish I had started sooner and had more. I then tell them that 2 is really not that much at all. I don't do it mean, but I don't let it pass.

I think you are right that large families are a witness to those who made other "choices." That witness makes them uncomfortable, it maybe even makes them feel a little guilty.

My wife went to a Great Adventure Bible study and told me that they stated that Eve ate the fruit because of "fear of sacrificial love". There is no doubt that having children requires this of us and it may even be the simplest reason why people have been trying to avoid having children since time began.

See the necessity of the early church fathers speaking about abortion all the way to today ...
