Motherhood on Trial

By Megan Beshamm

An excerpt:

Our culture tells us that women cannot be expected to love another person, even if it is her child. Jesus commands us to love every person, even if it is our enemy.

Our culture tells us children are a burden, robbing us of our financial resources and our potential. Psalm 127:3 tells us “Children are a gift of the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward.”

Our culture tells us women are made irrelevant by motherhood. 1 Tim. 2:15 tells us, “Women shall be preserved through the bearing of children.”

Our culture tells us to wait until we have realized all our desires before having kids. Psalm 127:4 tells us, “Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one’s youth.”

And, covering all, Romans 1:25 warns us not to exchange the truth of God for society’s lies.
