Food for Thought
Visit me at my new website - anniecrawford.com
Regarding family planning and birth control, consider Beth Moore. She only had 3 children, by choice. She and her husband purposefully limited their family size (to the best of my knowledge and I have read most of her books). Did she sin in this choice? I see no concievable way that she could have the ministry she does if she had a large family. I do not think that those with other giftings and callings realize the enormous amount of work and research it requires to produce quality teaching and writing. Was it God's true plan for her to have more children and she missed it? Just a thought to consider.

I made a similar comment elsewhere before seeing your most recent post.
I think it is important to note the Gen 1:22 has a broader application than whether birth control is moral. The Scripture tells us both to "be fruitful" and "increase in number." Increase in number clearly indicates reproduction, while being fruitful implies something different. The NT uses the concept of "fruit" to encourgage believers to spread the gospel. It sounds as if Beth Moore has done both.
