The cult of
selfishness continues to beat its drums against marriage, against having
children and for abortion. And the Love of MANY shall wax cold. This coldness, these very attitudes invaded
the church beginning in the late 1970s and one can see the evil fruit of
Christians have no children or one or two, the churches Sunday school programs
are empty across the nation, there are no young people to speak of in these
churches, as there are few young married couples. The end of many churches and
denominations are coming just as it was prophesied in Deuteronomy where God
said if my people will turn from me I will curse them and make them few that
there enemies shall have the rule over them. There are FEW households in the US
that walk righteously before the Lord in LOVE and OBEDIENCE and that raise their
children in the FEAR and ADMONITION of the Lord. And to date this is the only
thing that has spared the
It is time to consider your ways, it is
time to repent and turn and follow the words and commandments of Jesus Christ.
Social scientist Dr Nattavudh Powdthavee said there was "almost zero
association" between having children and happiness.
He said: "In a recent study
of British adults, for example, we found that parents and non-parents reported
the same levels of life satisfaction."

But any small bursts of happiness
are cancelled out by the day-to-day chores of having a family, he said in the
latest issue of The Psychologist, the magazine of The British Psychological
Society.
He said: "To imagine what
it's like being a mother or a father we're likely to focus more on the good
things about being a parent than the bad things.
"This is mainly because we
believe that the rare but meaningful experiences like a child's first smile, or
graduating from university, or seeing them get married will give us massive and
long-lasting increases in happiness. (I rise up every morning for my children, I have cared for
them loved them discipline them taught them on my knee to read and write,
taught them about the bible, God, Jesus Christ, prayer, sin righteousness and
the judgment and my children have been no end of Joy for me. And as I have loved them now in the days of
my infirmity I have been so greatly blessed as to have them love and care for
me so dearly.)
"These boosts in wellbeing
tend not to last for very long. Instead, parents spend much of their time
attending to the very core processes of childcare problems at school, cooking
and laundry which are much more frequent. (There is great happiness and satisfaction in raising
children of righteousness unto the Lord not only to myself, but to their future
husbands and wives and to the community they live in and let their lights shine
even as I have done.)
"It is these small but negative
experiences that are more likely to impact on our day-to-day levels of
happiness and life satisfaction."
Despite his research Dr Powdthavee, 30, and his girlfriend are thinking about
starting a family of their own.
