Examining the scriptures today, Sunday,
February. Twenty first, twenty twenty one.
2
00:00:07.349 --> 00:00:10.990
The plans of the diligent surely lead
to success. Proverbs Twenty one.
3
00:00:11.150 --> 00:00:15.550
Five. Jesus likened our time to
the days of Noah, and there is
4
00:00:15.669 --> 00:00:18.750
no doubt that we are living in
critical times, hard to deal with.
5
00:00:19.910 --> 00:00:25.500
Matthew Twenty four, thirty seven,
second Timothy Three one. With that reality
6
00:00:25.579 --> 00:00:30.059
in mind, some couples have concluded
that they would like to postpone having children
7
00:00:30.140 --> 00:00:34.619
so that they can devote more time
to sharing in the Christian ministry. When
8
00:00:34.659 --> 00:00:39.729
deciding whether to have children and how
many children to have, wise couples calculate
9
00:00:39.810 --> 00:00:46.289
the expense. Luke Fourteen, twenty
eight and twenty nine. Experienced parents confirm
10
00:00:46.369 --> 00:00:50.640
that raising children not only costs money, but also costs time and energy.
11
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:56.439
Thus, it is important for a
couple to consider such questions as would both
12
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.920
of us have to work to supply
the family's basic needs? Do we agree
13
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.670
on what our basic needs are?
If we both would have to work,
14
00:01:04.150 --> 00:01:08.829
who would look after our children?
Who would influence their thinking and actions?
15
00:01:10.790 --> 00:01:14.030
Couples who calmly discuss those questions take
to heart the word
