Our new junior staff member is a 23 y/o Baptist who married last year. He told me one day that he and the wife chose not to have children. In my great ignorance of the Baptist faith, my jaw dropped. I was very tempted to tell him that he would not have been allowed to marry in the Catholic Church. Instead, I printed out the article above about the unbiblical nature of artificial birth control. He and his bride are now on my permanent prayer list.
“In my great ignorance of the Baptist faith, my jaw dropped.”
That is NOT a part of the Baptist faith. That might be common in the modern Southern Baptist churches but it’s not Bible. It’s a symptom of leaving their Bibles on the shelf in favor of Purpose Drive Life. The real Baptists are the Independents and we maintain large families and abhor abortion and the pill because we read our Bibles.
We’re simple and the simple are made wise by just reading God’s Word.
