You won’t find a Christian in the church that disagrees—children are a blessing. However, Christian fertility rates are dropping across the board. More Christians are having less children. So what’s going on? Do we not want more blessings? Or is something else going on in the church?

In this episode, Dale and Veronica take a look at what the Bible says about children and how Christians can evaluate if they are conforming to God’s perspective or the world’s.

In addition to our teaching time, we answer two critical questions from our listening audience.

Scripture From This Episode

• Psalm 127:3-5 “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
• Proverbs 17:6 “Children’s children are the crown of old men, And the glory of children is their father.”
• Matthew 18:2-4 “Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
