God and Conception Messages |
||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
This is a Biblical topic that I have studied for nearly 40 years. Many Christians have never been presented with how the Bible presents God's character relating to children, His design for children as a central part of marriage, and of His giving of children as a blessing. Many do not read the Bible, and therefore really do not know what the Bible teaches. They are also taught by those that have been taught an unbiblical (not in the Bible) perspective on these topics. God created mankind, and designed marriage as the foundational institution of life. Because of the present ignorance, abandonment, or rejection of God's design as revealed in Scripture regarding marriage, gender roles, and children, our world is upside down in each of those areas, leading to the redefinition of marriage, the rejection of God's revealed roles for gender, and the refusal of children that God desires to give as blessings. Though I have studied this topic since I was a young adult, and though I have taught on this topic even before I became a pastor in 1987, below are studies that I have presented since my studies began to be digitally recorded and preserved on websites. These studies reflect this topic as I have encountered the topic in Scripture, and as focused presentations on the topic itself. I trust that these studies will stimulate you to think, if not be persuaded, by the clear teachings of the Bible regarding God's direct involvement in conception and God's amazing gift of children to us.. Rows in "teal green" are primary studies. Rows in "gray" are studies were God's revelation regarding His blessing of children is referenced, though it is not the main emphasis of the lesson. |
