We’re created in God’s image, male and female. That’s two genders—no more. After proclaiming his work as very good, God’s first instruction was to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28).
He later repeated it to Noah (Genesis 9:7).
May we take God’s first instruction seriously.
Yet today, people delay marriage or even forgo it completely.
They delay having children or decide to skip parenting altogether.
They’re selfish and disobedient.
The result is falling birthrates and a collective disregard of God’s intent for us to procreate.
The solution is to celebrate God-centered marriages and applaud their children, ideally in stable, two-parent, heterosexual households.
What can we do to encourage couples to follow God’s ideal?
How can we love those who find themselves in different circumstances?
