....that was well spoken and very powerful.. Amazing how humanism has made its way into the church. Very sad. Ever heard of Paris Reidhead? Check him out sometime on www.sermonindex.net He talks about that subject (humanism) a lot. Blessings! Jen

Jul. 10, 2009 - not always true

Posted by Anonymous

i have had 5 c-sections, then i had a tubal ligation, yes we should let God dictate various things in our lives but we must also use our God given wisdom to know when somethings are meant for some but not everyone, i dont think it would have been wise to go through another c-section and i do not know why i had to have them to begin with, why i wasnt given the gift of birthing hips, but I am at peace with my 5, as other women are at peace with just having 1 quiverfull not for everyone

Jul. 10, 2009 - God's revealed will is in His Word - Peace felt in the heart is not Biblical

<<I have had 5 c-sections, then i had a tubal ligation, yes we should let God dictate various things in our lives but we must also use our God given wisdom to know when somethings are meant for some but not everyone, i dont think it would have been wise to go through another c-section and i do not know why i had to have them to begin with, why i wasnt given the gift of birthing hips, but I am at peace with my 5, as other women are at peace with just having 1 quiverfull not for everyone>> Yes, God might give someone 0 and another 20...either way we should feel peace IF we have allowed Him to have His way with us, but if you look at our post on why "feelings of peace" do not always equal God's Will (http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/godsplanforfamilies/676517/), you will see why I feel that peace of our hearts CAN be deceitful, and against the Will of God. It seems nothing but clear to me, upon the study of how our hearts are "deceitful above all else," that we are to use God's Word in order to determine His Will for us, not a"peace" that we feel. [On a side note....If we think more deeply about the peace of the heart, I'm sure that many "criminals" have even felt peace about breaking the law for one reason or another....it doesn't mean that their peace aligned with God's Will...it's solely through the study of His Word that we can determine a right path.] We never know what could have been unless we render that control to Him. After all, who knows better than our Creator what we can handle? I'm sure a lot of people would have told you to stop at 3 c-sections, but if you had listened to them then you would not have those two precious additional blessings that God sent you when you were willing. Another important thing to remember is that being "quiverfull" is not having as many babies as you CAN, but allowing God to dictate how many souls He creates without human interference on our part. "Unless the Lord builds the home (directly translated: children), he labor in vain who builds it." Psalm 127:1 Thank you for your comment!
