Had to go back and check the author ...

You know, I love Albert Mohler, but when he says stuff like this:

The church should insist that the biblical formula is: Adulthood means marriage, and marriage means children. This reminds us of our responsibility to raise boys to be husbands and fathers and girls to be wives and mothers. God’s glory is seen in this, for the family is a critical arena where the glory of God is either displayed or denied. It is just as simple as that.

The church must help this society regain its sanity on the gift of children. Willful barrenness and chosen childlessness must be named as moral rebellion. To demand that marriage means sex but not children is to defraud the creator of his joy and pleasure in seeing the saints raising his children.

... I want to ask him if he's aware that it's the Protestant churches (like his own SBC) who turned their back on 2000 years of constant Christian teaching regarding the moral evil of contraception, beginning in 1930, that got us to this place.

If sex without children within marriage is wrong, then Popes Pius XI, Pius XII, Paul VI, and John Paul II was right, and practically the whole Protestant world was, and is, wrong.

Is Dr. Mohler really ready to go there?
