Great Sermon!
Thanks for pointing out the New Yorker article about the problem the elites have with the idea that having children within families is objectionable.
This shows you how important it is for Christians and churches to show this difference, that we are 'family focused' because that is what the Bible is telling us to do.
Christians think they can compete with the world's offerings, but the family issue shows you the difference.
Churches need to focus on what the Bible says about families, like 1 Timothy 5, which I would subtitle, 'God's Will for the Older Christian Woman.'
First, she is a widow, (even today, 96 percent of all people get married). Second, her own family should support her, though if younger, she should marry again.
Third, if her family cannot support her, than the church should, though she should meet certain 'work requirements' like 'washing the feet of the saints' and doing good works.
Even the book of James has a verse about 'real religion consists of..helping widows in their distress'
I think Christians and churches who skip by these chapters without seeing their application are doing a real disservice to the message of the Bible.
