The Importance of Family and Morality

It wasn't about my happiness. Now, here's the thing, I was wrong.

It actually made me happy because the right thing that God requires also

ends up being the good thing that makes the heart of man

glad. Because God is not capricious, he's not arbitrary, he doesn't just

randomly, randomly say, "These are the tenets of

morality, and they also consequently, conveniently, are the,

the very things that

will make you miserable and sad." No, God is a good God, a kind

and loving God. The things that he says, "These are holy," are also the things that

make us happy. But I was delusional, I was deceived,

thinking, "This is not gonna make me happy,"

but I did it anyways. Why?

Because duty trumped delight.

Because, because virtue trumped liberty.

I knew that having children was important for the world,

for society, for the Kingdom of God, to raise up

godly offspring. The Genesis commands, "Be fruitful and multiply."

I understand some people biologically can't have kids, right?

So I'm not saying that they're in sin.

But, but ordinarily, speaking in norms, ordinarily,

it is good and fitting and right and even obligatory

if we're Christians reading the Bible, that we seek to make

disciples, and f- our first disciples are the little

disciples in our home. That we seek to be fruitful and

multiply with the wife of our youth.

That, that the overflow of our love produces the

fruit of the

womb, and that we raise them in the fear

and admonition of the Lord.

That they are arrows, the Psalms say, that children are like arrows

that, that a man, a father, will one day shoot out.

The greatest arsenal, the greatest weaponry,

going all the way back to the topic of

power, the most powerful thing I have that will ultimately

conquer my enemies

are my six children, who will be raised in the fear

and admonition of the Lord

and will do immense damage, like arrows, like a

battering ram up against the gates of hell.

So I had kids because I must have them,

not just because I wanted to have them, and now I can't imagine life

without them. Seth Rogen is wrong.

He's, he's wrong because-
