We are doing our part, 5 kids so far. I have drawn a simple chart to show my children how Christians can have a multi-generational impact on our culture. If we were to have 2 children, who then each had 2 children, we would have 6 votes (adding the two generations) to impact the direction of our nation’s policy.
If we were to have 10 children who then each had 10 children, we would have 110 votes to impact the direction of our nation’s policy.
It’s a greatly simplified example for my children, but I believe there is a reason that God consistently told his people to be fruitful and multiply...even when they were taken into captivity. If you want your culture to survive, you can’t allow your population to shrink.
The secular documentary “Demographic Winter” is a must watch movie on this topic. If there were any real journalists left in the USA, this coming crisis would be making headlines across the country.

We have had 5 children too! I often chuckle at the notion of “not being able to afford them.” With the help of God and hard work, all needs were amply provided for.
As an aside for non-believers: NO, we do not support *indiscriminate” procreation. We believe in cooperating with the Divine Will.
There’s also a book you might want to read: CHILDREN OF MEN by PD James. It’s fiction, but it demonstrates the natural outcome of foolish and/or evil thinking.
