I'll read a little bit about the way God has ordered authority in the home and he basically talks about
husbands loving their wives and wives submitting unto their husbands
and then as we get into Ephesians chapter 6 he basically
goes into great detail about children obeying their parents and how
parents should treat their children and all throughout these two chapters there's a lot of
talk about the family
and I think that today one of the institutions that's more under attack than
anything is the family. Even more than the church is being attacked
by Satan, by the government, the institution of the family
is under attack today and I want to preach a sermon tonight called
Satan's attack on the family. Now
an alternate title you could give this sermon is the government's attack on the
family because really you'll see that as I go through the points tonight and show
this
a lot of this has to do with you know our government that's pushing this stuff
but really the family is an important institution it goes all the way back if
you would
go down to verse number 31 of
Ephesians chapter 5 it says for this cause shall a man leave
his father and mother and shall be joined unto his wife
and they too shall be one flesh. This goes all the way back to Genesis 2 that's a
quote from
Genesis chapter 2 when God created the man and his wife
he called their name Adam, he placed them in the Garden of Eden
and he told them to be fruitful and multiply which is meaning what?
Have children. So he made a man, he made a woman
he commanded them be fruitful and multiply
and replenish the earth and he put them in that garden
and he explains that to this day it's the same thing therefore
shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they
too shall be one flesh.
This is an important institution that goes all the way back to Genesis 2
it's important all throughout the Bible and today the
family is being attacked and destroyed around us
and the devil is the one who's behind it. Go back
you're in Ephesians 5 just look at chapter 4 I wanna show you one thing it
says in verse 26
it says be ye angry and sin not
let not the sun go down upon your wrath
neither give place to the devil. Okay
so the devil is out to destroy you. The devil
wants to as Jesus told Peter to sift you as wheat
you know the devil wants to creep in it says in
2nd Corinthians chapter 2 you don't necessarily have to turn there but
2nd Corinthians 2 10 and 11 says
to whom ye forgive anything I forgive also
for if I forgave anything to whom I forgave it
for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ
lest Satan should get an advantage of us
for we are not ignorant of his devices.
So the devil is out to attack us he wants to get an advantage of us
he wants to get in and destroy our home
he wants to destroy your marriage through a lack of forgiveness that could take
place between a man and a woman
and today he's doing a very good job of destroying the institution of marriage
and the family today. Look just look at look around
75 percent of marriages will end in divorce
now that is a symptom
and that shows intrinsically that there is something wrong in America
today with how we look at the family how we look at the home
if 75 percent of marriages are going to fail 75 percent are going to divorce
you look at children growing up today in single-parent homes
you look at children growing up today and disrespecting their parents
you look at children that are completely disconnected and isolated from their
parents want nothing to do with their parents
because the devil knows if he can attack the family
if he can get a bunch of young people that are growing up
and going to a public school system and just being brainwashed by the world
being taught all this garbage
that he can really just destroy an entire generation
destroy our country destroy our churches because the
future is in the children it's in the young people and so we can destroy the
family take the children out of the family get them raised somewhere else
destroy the family by turning it into a divorced home
destroy the family by making there be a disconnect
and a disjointed relationship between married people or between parents and
their children
then he can destroy the youth and there will be a whole generation that will rise up
as they did in the days of Joseph where he says that Joseph died and there rose up
another generation that knew not
the Lord Joshua died there rose up people who knew not the Lord
you know people rise up another generation because they haven't been taught by the
previous generation they know nothing about God the Bible
I wonder when I was growing up in Sacramento California
we went to an independent fundamental Baptist Church that had
six or seven hundred people in it and yet today
churches in that same area have way less people going to them
and you wonder where did all those people go where did all their children go
it's because we're losing the next generation because we've lost the family
as an institution
let me just take you through the devil's attack on the family
let me just take you through all the ways that he has destroyed the family today
and we can make sure that even if he's going to destroy someone else's family
we're not going to give place to the devil he doesn't have to destroy our family
we're not ignorant of his devices
I mean maybe the world out there doesn't know what's going on
and they're ignorant of his devices but we in here don't have to be ignorant of his
device we have the Bible here to show us what's going on
and we are not going to give place to the devil and I'm not going to let him
destroy my family
but let me tell you where Satan's attack on the family begins
it starts out
when two people are married right that's where the family starts
when a man leaves his father and mother and cleaves unto his wife
and they too become one flesh that's where the family begins right it starts
out just a married couple with no children
well even just to get to that point most people aren't even leaving father and
mother and going to be with their spouse anymore
most people are already out living with another guy before they get to that point
you know they grow up and they're living with somebody else
or they've already committed fornication and been made one flesh with a whole bunch of people
but you know what okay let's just start over though you know you've gotten married
you know now you're doing it right you're a married couple
you've forsaken father and mother
and you're starting a new family you know the first thing that the devil's
going to tell you to do and many people won't like this but it's true
go to Genesis chapter 38 the first thing he'll try to do to destroy your family
because look
do you think he likes the fact that you decided to start a family
that you want to raise that family in church
that you're married and that you're not going to be out with everybody else
it's just going to be you and your wife for life do you think that he wants that
marriage to succeed
do you think he wants you to raise godly children in that home
and raise them up to be the next generation of soul winning Christians
no and so his goal is going to be to destroy your marriage and to tear it apart
and the first thing he's going to use to destroy your marriage is birth control
you say oh I can't believe you'd say that yes that is the first thing that
the devil will try to do
to young people today is they get married and we've got young married people here
and we've got other people who are single who are going to be married in
the near future
right guys anyway some point you're going to get married
you need to listen to this because this is going to be the first lie of the
devil
that he's going to try to use to destroy that marriage
did you know that statistically the most likely time for you to get a divorce is
either in the first two years of marriage
or in the first two years after your last child leaves the home
leaves the home those are the two times my parents
are divorced and my parents got divorced within two years
of the last child leaving the home
I mean this is true it's the statistic that is the two
time periods why because having
children is something that brings the bond of your marriage closer
together it should build your marriage and draw you closer together and build a
stronger union
but today the devil is gonna want to tell you the exact
opposite the children are a burden the children are going to come between you
and mess up your relationship with your wife hey the Bible says in Psalm 127
3 children are in heritage of the Lord
and the fruit of the womb is his reward
so the Bible says that children are a blessing
children are a reward children are a good thing it's not a curse when you have a
child
it's a blessing and it shouldn't tear that family apart
it should bring the family closer together to have a child
it brings my wife and I closer together that we have children
it doesn't make us further apart but the world and even Christianity and even
independent Baptist churches will tell you wait two years to have a child after you get
married wait two years get to know each other
look that's not scriptural that's not Bible
and the devil will use that to attack your family
what are you talking about well I'm gonna get into several ways that the devil uses birth
control to destroy the family
but first let's just get into the Bible here I'm just gonna show you that
God condemns birth control in the Bible because you say well
you know I think it's just a personal choice now I always think it's funny that
Christians always say
well when I decide what I want to do for a living I want to do God's will
right and they always say when I get married I want to be sure that I marry a
girl that's the will of God for my life
and you say where do you want to live wherever God wants me
but then you ask people how many children do you want to have
and nobody thinks to say well as many as God gives me
you know whatever God has planned whatever God thinks
it's up to God it says of he-man and you don't have to turn there but in the book of
first chronicles there was a man named he-man I like his name
but he doesn't sound like a little sissy you know he sounds like a manly guy
but his name was he-man H-E-M-A-N and the Bible says the Lord gave unto he-man
fourteen sons and three daughters you know and why did he have
seventeen children I mean that's a lot of children right you know why he had seventeen children
because that's how many the Lord gave unto him that's what the Bible says
the Lord gave unto he-man fourteen sons three daughters but see here we have another man
O-Nan so on one side we've got he-man
God gave him fourteen sons and three daughters on this side we've got
O-Nan so let's look at he-man versus O-Nan
look at O-Nan in Genesis chapter 38
and verse number
6 is where we'll start
the Bible says this and Judah took a wife for Ur his firstborn whose name was Tamar
and Ur Judah's firstborn was wicked in the sight of the Lord
and the Lord slew him so God basically just got sick of this guy
Ur and just killed him okay and then it says in verse number
8 and Judah said unto O-Nan
go in unto thy brother's wife and marry her and raise up seed to thy brother
so O-Nan listens to dad says okay
so O-Nan marries this girl Tamar and he's basically going in on the wedding night
to consummate the marriage
and the Bible says in verse 9 and O-Nan knew that the seed should not be his
and it came to pass when he went in unto his brother's wife
that he spilled it on the ground lest that he should give seed to his brother
and the thing which he did displeased the Lord where for he slew him also
now look this guy basically got married to this girl
and he went in and he basically consummated the marriage but he did not want
her to become pregnant from this union and so he basically you know
if you're old enough to understand you're old enough to understand if not then don't worry about it
but the Bible said what happened
okay and because of what happened this made God angry
and God killed him okay now you say well I don't think that that story is really
applicable
okay then come show me the story that is applicable show me where else in the
Bible anybody did anything like that
that's the only example in the Bible anybody
practicing a form of birth control that you can show me it was this wicked man
who wanted to go in to his wife and yet he did not want to have the child that will be
the result
and you say well it's just because he did it for a selfish reason but you know what
isn't it always a selfish reason when you disobey what God told you to do
what's your selfish reason for practicing birth control
what's your selfish reason that you want to have a bigger house and a bigger car
or is it just because you don't have the faith to believe that God can provide your needs
everybody's got a selfish reason when they do the wrong thing when they go
their own way
when they lean on to their own understanding instead of having the faith
to believe that if God commanded you
he said leave father and mother cleave unto your wife
and be one flesh and look if you would at 1st Corinthians chapter 7
look at 1st Corinthians 7
and you know we need we need to get back to this kind of Bible preaching I mean
it's sad that this story's probably not even preached in most
most people have never even heard of Onan and they might have gone to church for the last
30 years and didn't even hear the name of Onan and it's yet it's a story in the Bible
for our edification for us to learn from
look at this scripture in 1st Corinthians chapter 7 verse 1
now concerning the things whereof you wrote unto me it is good for a man not to
touch a woman
nevertheless to avoid fornication
let every man have his own wife
and let every woman have her own husband right
so God says look you know you don't want to be obviously going to bed before
you're married
fornication is a sin fornication is wicked he said it's good for a man not to touch a
woman
but he says to avoid fornication let every man have his own wife and let
every wife have her own husband
it says in verse 3 let the husband render unto the wife
do benevolence and likewise also the wife unto the husband
the wife hath not power of her own body
but the husband and likewise also
the husband hath not power of his own body but the wife
defraud ye not one the other
except it be with consent for a time that ye may give yourselves to fasting
and prayer
and come together again that Satan
tempt you not for your incontinence either who tempt you not
you see how Satan wants to attack the family
it seems like when we're talking about marriage in the Bible when we're talking
about child rearing in the family
doesn't it seem like Satan keeps coming up wanting to get in there
get an advantage destroy the family and one of the ways
that he's going to get in there is by creating a dysfunctional relationship
between a man and his wife and then he could come in and tempt that man
or tempt that wife to commit adultery you see that
he said if you defraud one another as husband and wife
if you don't render unto the wife do benevolence and render the husband do
benevolence
and of course you know if you're too young to understand that then then so
much the better
if you're old enough to understand that you know what this passage is talking
about
he said if you do then Satan can come tempt you for your incontinence
and so if God is telling you that the only time that you should abstain
from that relationship with your wife or that relationship with your husband
is to give yourself unto prayer and fasting
who knows what fasting means going without food
you know do you go out without food for six months
has anybody ever gone without food for one month
you know do you go a week or two without food
I mean we're talking about you know a period that's a short period of time
we're not talking about this dysfunctional kinda marriage today
God is commanding a man and wife
to have that relationship together and if God has commanded us
to have that relationship with our wife and for our wife to have that relationship with us
guess what the result of that relationship is
children
I mean is everybody following the sermon tonight is this complicated or anything
it's very simple tonight
and people many times want to resist the truth but it's very simple what God wants
he tells you look this is my plan you grow up
you get married it's a man and a wife they come together they're one flesh
he said you know you don't abstain and go without
and go all these long periods of time he says have that relationship with your
wife
the product is going to be children in fact children are a blessing
in fact children are a reward in fact children are a good thing that's going to come from
that union
where did God tell you to go to Walgreens and buy some
contraption or tool or pill or drug or
whatever in order to be like Onan
in order to not have children from that union
think about this where is God telling you to do that
it's not in the Bible but I can show you in the Bible where he told you to be
fruitful and multiply you say well I think he was just talking to Adam well
let's go back and look at that let's go back to Genesis right at the beginning of the
Bible
and I'm going to explain to you in a moment the other way that this that this will be
something that the devil will use to attack your family this thing of birth
control
look at Genesis chapter number 2
I'm sorry Genesis 1 actually we're going back even further than that
Genesis chapter 1 says this in verse 28
and God bless them is talking about the man and his wife
the male and female and God bless them and God said unto them be fruitful and
multiply
and replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea
and over the foul of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the
earth now let me ask you a question
what is the word replenish mean?
refill
now let me ask you something
was the earth ever filled before Adam and Eve with people? No
Adam was the first man on this earth
and his wife Eve was the second person on this earth
so if God were just talking to Adam and Eve
would he have said refill
that wouldn't make any sense at all I mean if he said to Adam
refill he'd be like how can I get a refill
if I'd never been filled
this is a command to mankind
because man is born he lives and he dies
and so there's a constant replenishment
it's like as if we had a bucket
with a hole in the bottom
we have to keep filling it up right we have to keep filling it up
we have to constantly replenish it
and that's what he's being told there to replenish
and to replenish and replenish and replenish and replenish
that's not just talking to Adam
look at Genesis chapter nine also
because if it were that's why every word in the bible is so important
because did you know that all the modern versions change replenish to just fill
they take out the replenish
and just change it to fill the earth
New King James
NIV, HIV all these other versions will do that
but in Genesis chapter nine it says
basically the same thing
in verse seven
it says and you
be ye fruitful and multiply
bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply therein
look at Exodus chapter one
Exodus chapter number one second book of the bible Exodus one
and the bible says in Exodus chapter one
in verse number eight the bible reads now there arose a new king over Egypt
which knew not Joseph
and he said unto his people
behold the people of the children of Israel are more
and mightier
than we
now jump back up if you would to verse number five
look at verse five
and all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls
for Joseph was in Egypt already
so how many
Israelites went down into Egypt captive
well how many went down into it we just read look at verse five the answers
right there how many how many went down into it
seventy
and when they came out yeah could be two and a half million four million
it depends because it says that there were six hundred thousand men
between twenty and fifty who were warriors
so that could tell you that there were
several million people
at least two and a half million probably more like three or four million or even five million
four hundred and thirty years later
so in four hundred and thirty years they went from seventy
all the way up to millions
but after this period of time it says in the children of Israel look at verse seven
were fruitful
and increased abundantly and multiplied
and waxed exceeding mighty and the land was filled with them
and that's when they said the children of Israel are more mighty than we
now when they went down there and there were seventy
how many Egyptians were there? Millions
it was the most mighty powerful nation in the world at that time
millions of people why did seventy people
outgrow millions
in just a few hundred years
because of the fact that the Bible says right here because they were fruitful
and they multiplied
did you know that if you go to Planned Parenthood's website
it says right on it that birth control was invented in ancient Egypt
the IUD was invented
right there on their website did you know that Planned Parenthood the abortion
mill that it is
which performs literally millions upon millions of abortions per year
and is funded with millions and millions of your government paid tax dollars
did you know that the original name of Planned Parenthood
was the birth control federation of America
that's what it was started as
by Margaret Sanger
in the first part of the twentieth century
it was called the birth control federation of America
later they changed the name to Planned Parenthood
and so we see here that God's people
were fruitful
God's people multiplied
God's people had the command from God
and they followed that command
and the heathen of Egypt were the ones who were limiting their population
and then they tried to limit
the children of Israel's population
by killing their children
and every time a baby was born they told them to cast into the Nile River
and the two righteous midwives
basically refused to obey
and they kept the children alive
and they ended up being blessed by God because they would not
put these children to death
you see it's clear in the Bible that God wants us to have children that's why he gives us
now does God give everyone the same amount of children?
just because you don't go down to Walgreens and go down to the
pharmaceutical industry
and use all these bizarro devices and pills and drugs that they give you
it doesn't mean that you're just going to have
seventeen children like a he-man
because God only gave Abraham and Sarah just one child
God only gave Isaac and Rebecca just two children
but the key there is that that's what he gave them
God might bless you with one child two children
three children five children ten children
and people get angry at this kind of
don't tell me how many children to have
stay out of my business
look I don't care how many children I don't care what your business is
but I'm going to stand up here and preach God's word to you tonight
that the devil is destroying America
and he's destroying it with birth control
he's destroying it with abortion
he's destroying it with divorced homes
he's destroying it with the public school system
he's destroying it with Planned Parenthood
and somebody needs to stand up somewhere and call it out and name it for what it is
and say God's people
I'm going to let Satan
get an advantage over us and we need to just read and believe God's word
if he told me what to do with my wife
that's what I'm going to do and I'm not going to do anything else
I'm not going to do Onan Method
and I'm not going to do the perversion method of what they sell at the store
you know
I don't want to go into it obviously I don't want to talk about it
but I'll tell you something
these devices that they're giving out to
first graders today
these devices that they're giving out to sixth graders in elementary school
for free at school
they passed a law at a town in Connecticut
that it must be given out to kindergartners on demand
for free
literally it was in the news
these filthy devices that they're selling and giving out let me tell you
something
who do you think invented them?
did they come from Bible believing Christians?
or do you think they came from the devil and his crowd?
did you know that those filthy devices that they sell down at Walgreens
used to be illegal in this country
until like 1950
in some places and that they were illegal everywhere in the United States
until the 1930s
it was against the law
for married couples to buy those kind of wicked devices
those kind of perverted devices it was against the law it's true
and yet today God's people are giving them in a Bible college
God's people today are recommended by their pastor to go buy that stuff
I will never recommend you to buy and I don't buy it
I won't use that garbage
you know I just stick hey I eat organic food
and you know what if you think I'm going to go down and get some filthy device
and
and use that for my love life you're wrong
you need to get right with God
you need to get the Bible and you know you say you don't know what you're talking about
you need to read this book and figure out what it says about marriage
and figure out that the Bible talks about every single subject that there is
if you read this book from cover to cover
you'll know what you need to do you'll know what kind of marriage you need to have
and nowhere in here will it tell you to go to the world
and use these devices and you say well pastor Anderson
we're living in the modern age we've got birth control pills
who here believes that life begins at conception
I believe that I believe life begins at conception
look at Hebrews 11 11
Hebrews 11 11
now let me tell you something
I grew up an independent fundamental Baptist going to every hellfire and
damnation Baptist Church
and you know what
I never heard this subject preached upon
ever
because people don't want to touch it
you know people don't want to preach it but it's the truth
where did I have you turn? somebody help me out
Hebrews 11 11
they won't preach on this subject but it's the truth look at Hebrews 11 11
in Hebrews 11 11 we have a key doctrinal point here
about conception
what is conception according to the Bible? well the Bible tells us it says in
verse 11
through faith also
Sarah herself
received strength to conceive
seed
and was delivered of a child when she was past age
because she judged him faithful who had promised
so in Hebrews 11 11 here
the Bible says that Sarah received strength to conceive seed
now look, doesn't that mean that the seed is involved with conception?
right?
because let me tell you what conception is biblically speaking because people are
trying to change the definition of this today
so that politicians can get up and say oh yeah life begins at conception
and what they mean is something completely different weeks later
no, according to the Bible
and according to any real true science
conception takes place when the seed and the egg come together that's conception
the egg from the woman and the seed from the man
that is conception that's where life begins I'll prove it to you from the Bible
go to Matthew 1
go to Matthew chapter 1
I'm going to prove to you that
that life begins at conception right now
go to Matthew 1
and while you're turning there I'll read you a verse from Hosea
9 11
Hosea 9 11 reads as for Ephraim their glory shall fly away like a bird
from the birth
and from the womb
and from the conception
though they bring up their children yet will I bereave them and on and on
so basically God's talking about
children
and he says from the birth
from the womb and from the conception because those are the three stages of a child
they're conceived
it's a child
it's in the womb
and then it's born ok
but look at Matthew 1 this is an interesting verse Matthew chapter 1 at the end of the
chapter there
it says in verse 23 behold a virgin shall be with
child
does it say that she'll be with blob of tissue
no she'll be with embryo with fetus
no it says
that a virgin shall be with child
and shall bring forth a son and they shall call his name Immanuel which being
interpreted as God with us keep your finger there go to Isaiah 7 14
your finger is in Matthew 1
go back to Isaiah 7 14
Isaiah chapter 7 verse 14
and the Bible says in a very very famous verse in Isaiah 7 14
therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign
behold a virgin
shall conceive
and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel
Matthew 1 23 is a quotation
of Isaiah 7 14 right
because the Bible says in Matthew 22
or Matthew 1 22
now all this was done that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet
so the Bible says
here is what Isaiah the prophet said see the saying at the end of verse 22
Isaiah said
behold a virgin shall be with child now is that what Isaiah said
a virgin shall be with child look back at Isaiah
what exactly did Isaiah say
so in Isaiah Isaiah said a virgin shall conceive
Matthew 1 says that Isaiah said a virgin shall be with child
so is God wrong here is he quoting himself wrong
or is conceiving and being with child the exact same thing
it's got to be otherwise God is misquoting himself
he said Isaiah said a virgin shall be with child
you go back to Isaiah and Isaiah said a virgin shall conceive
because conceiving is being with child because conception
is when life begins because that's when it becomes a child when it's conceived
and when it's conceived what is present according to the Bible
seed
the seed, conceived seed so it's not weeks later after it's been developing and implants
no life begins at the traditional view of conception
right when that seed hits the egg that is conception
that's when life begins let me tell you something
birth control pills
did you notice that they're not called conception control pills
you ever noticed that
they're called birth control pills they don't prevent conception
now they do in some cases but many times they allow conception to take place
they don't allow birth to take place they're very good at controlling birth
because you see birth control pills operate on two principles
they stop a woman from releasing an egg
many times but not 100 percent of the time
because even if a woman's on birth control pills she still will release an egg
from time to time depending on what type of pill
if she's on what's known as the mini pill, the progesterone only pill
the Depo-Provera shot or the patch
or those type of methods
she could be releasing an egg every month and is for sure probably releasing one
every other month
and if they're on the combination pill then they may be releasing an egg maybe
once or twice a year
but let me tell you something
there's a backup mechanism to every birth control pill, I learned this
by reading the package inserts of birth control pills and studying this subject
and the backup mechanism is that any birth control pill you take, any birth
control pill you take
will harden the lining of the uterus
to make a quote hostile environment
so that once that
egg and seed have conceived
into a child
it cannot implant and develop and will therefore die
after just a few days of development
and the woman will not even know that she was pregnant in the first place
called breakthrough ovulation
happens all the time
constantly
and so basically what's going on is people are taking a birth control pill
thinking
oh yeah I'm just not going to get pregnant, I'm not releasing
you might even be, you might be becoming pregnant
and depending on some pills that you take you could be becoming pregnant over and
over again
and the child just dies
and that's why
birth control pills if taken properly are literally ninety nine point nine
percent effective
because they have the backup mechanism
that's why when you take birth control pills they tell you you need to wait for
three months before trying to get pregnant
because you turned your womb into a killing machine
and so therefore
you could have problems trying to become pregnant you know you gotta wait until your body
gets back to normal
from taking these kind of drugs
and you say well I didn't know better, I didn't know
you know what maybe you should research the stuff that you, the drug that you take
from the wicked world that we live in
and you know you didn't know okay that's fine you know
when I first got married my wife took birth control pills for three months
because we didn't know any better
because we were waiting for the benefits to kick in at my job, we were waiting for the health insurance
but you know what that's really not an excuse why I was giving that to my wife to take
you know I shouldn't have done it, I was wrong
I'll call it out right now that I did wrong
but it doesn't make it right just because I did it
you know ten years ago
when I was young and ignorant and foolish
but let me tell you something
God looks down and he sees that that's a life
and he sees you taking pills that are that are killing that life
and destroying that life
and it's Satan that has got you to believe that that's okay
and that that's fine and just well it's out of sight, I can't see it
so was it even really there
did it really even happen
but the Bible tells us by faith yes it is a child, yes it is alive
and if abortion is wrong
and if the day after pill is wrong
and if we would condemn a woman going down and killing the child
at Planned Parenthood
we as Christians
need to stop the wicked hypocrisy here
and say you know what
I'm not going to give my wife these birth control pills because
you know I don't want
to be taking human life here
but not only that
birth control pills are harmful to your health
they increase the risk of all kinds of cancers I mean if you just study it
they increase the risk of all kinds of health problems
they have all kinds of adverse effects on the body by getting you out of balance
hormonally
and destroying the body and let me tell you something
the devil loves that
you know they don't love, the pharmaceutical industry doesn't love you
they want to make money
and they want to basically just put whatever poison into you
that's going to fit their agenda and cost them less money
that's all they care about
and we live in a wicked society today when Christians and churches
when a pastor gets up and preaches this sermon and it's called a fanatic
right I'm radical I'm a fanatic I'm crazy
even though the US government
made this illegal 75 years ago
and did you know that Theodore Roosevelt
President Theodore Roosevelt at the beginning of the 20th century
in a speech
publicly as President of the United States
said these words and I quote
birth control is sinful
did you hear that
President Theodore Roosevelt stood up before a group and
and spoke in a public
publicized address
and said that birth control is a sin
but then if I get up and say it a bible believing independent fundamental baptist
preacher if I get up and say
birth control is sinful
am I become your enemy because I tell you the truth
who's ever heard of John R. Rice
the famous preacher
John R. Rice loved by independent fundamental baptist
he wrote a book on the home he had three chapters dedicated to how wicked and
sinful birth control is and that was in the 1960s
condemned it
but yet today show me the church that's condemning it
show me the preacher that's standing up condemning it
don't show me a mirror I mean somebody else
but the point is
we have strained it and swallowed a camel
we're willing to accept
something that even the world considered wicked and sinful
just because everybody's doing it but because everybody's doing it
doesn't make it right
and if you're not ready to have children then you're not ready to get married
because when you get married
you're supposed to go to bed with your wife and the problem with that is well you're going to have a child and you're not ready for it
then you need to get ready for both when you get married
because when you get married you're accepting the responsibility
of the child that hopefully God is going to bless you with
and it ought to be looked upon as a blessing
imagine what you're saying to your children when you say
I don't know man I've had enough no more for me
I mean you know if you were that child you'd probably say well if they don't want more of me
you know and people whenever they
you know confront me on this or or you know and I'll get it in public just because I have
a lot of children in some people's mind I don't think I have a lot of children
I have five children
I don't think that that's really an astronomical number
the average in America two hundred years ago was eight
that was the average
I don't think that five is exactly an astronomical number of children
but you know we'll walk around with our five children and people just
we went to the Grand Canyon we had all these Chinese people taking pictures of our family like
we were like we were the
tourist attraction you know like wow a family
a normal family you know like
wow five kids and they all look like both mom and dad and they lined us all up
we were posing for all kinds of pictures and everything
pretty soon we're going to be on display in a museum or something
Cro-Magnon man
you know with five children
you know five isn't really that many but I get all kinds of comments in public like
oh wow you know you've got your hands full and sometimes they'll say this
hey don't you know what causes that
you know or they'll look at you with all your children
and basically say something like you know what in the world you're done right you know
and the world will try to put pressure on you to conform
be like everyone else
I don't want to be like the seventy five percent divorce rate world
I don't want my kids to grow up
and have their face look like they fell out of a fishing tackle box
and have their fingernails painted black
you know what I mean and basically
you know they're like some
goth emo whatever
I don't know the terms anymore
am I on the right track?
the eighties are back thanks for the tips
hey I'm a child of the eighties
you know what the point is
I'm not trying to be like the world I'm not trying to be like everybody else I'm not trying to
pattern my family
after the failure
that is the American family today in two thousand ten
not doing it
and you know I always tell those people this I always say well you know I like the children that I have
so why wouldn't I want more
or sometimes I'll say which of my children do you think I should have not had
you know what I mean
tell me which one
and you know today I visit nursing homes and preach the gospel
from time to time and that's where I learned how to preach was in a nursing home
I didn't preach this sermon it wasn't really applicable
but I actually learned how to preach in an elderly folks nursing home
and I preached there for years in Sacramento California that's where I learned how to preach
and that's where some of you guys are learning how to preach at our nursing home ministry
I've never ran into somebody in a nursing home that says I just wish I would have had less kids
you know like what do you want to change my life
if I would have just had less children
and just kept a little more of the money for me
you know what I mean just had a little more free time to just play around
every person in the nursing home I talked to
that I told I had five children said
you know what
that is a blessing and they said one day you'll realize how great of a blessing that is
one day you'll get to the end of your life and you'll be glad that you had those children
nobody gets to the end of their life and says I wish I had less children
they get to the end of their life and say
I wish I didn't just have one
you know and and and that one is basically
you know doesn't want anything to do with me
or whatever
and let me tell you how the government's behind it let me tell you how satan is is is pushing this
number one
he's promoting it in the public school to your children when they're knee high to a grasshopper
he'll start teaching them birth control
the little sex ed talks and they'll teach them about
birth control and contraceptives and how to use all these things
and just brainwash it and pump it into their mind that it's normal that's where it'll start
you know what else he's doing
he's making it almost impossible today
for a man
to go to work and even pay for a family
with that many children
I mean it's to the point now where it takes some faith my friend
if you're a young man you better before you say amen to this sermon young man
it's going to take some faith
for you to get married
and go to bed with that woman and have as many children as God gives you because you're living in a society
where it's difficult
because the economy has been destroyed by design
because we're taxed to death
to where it's going to be difficult and you're going to have to work and toil and sweat
in order to be able to support that family sir and have your wife at home raising those children
on one income
that's a tall order
but with God all things are possible
it's not easy though
I'm not telling you it's easy to live for God
what's easy is to go
to college and go fornicate
and go to your beer parties and your toga party and go
play the fool and the idiot and be a drunken idiot and then when you get to be thirty get married
and then pump your wife full of birth control
and have your token one or two children
that doesn't take any faith at all to follow America's plan for your life the government's plan for your life
but I want to follow God's plan for my life and that's why I got married young
and had children and trusted God
and worked by the sweat of my face all the days of my life and it's not easy
but it's what God asks you to do young man and so grow up and do it God's way
don't follow the world's pattern
don't you dare go out and commit the sin of fornication before you're married
you keep yourself purer until you get married
you cleave unto your wife
you become one flesh with her and you have children with her and you are there until death parts you
and you have as many children as God gives you and let me tell you something
God opens and closes the world if God gives you one great if he gives you two great
if he gives you five great if you're a he-man if he gives you seventeen great
and let me tell you something if God is the one who gives you those children
won't God provide for those children
if he said my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by
Christ Jesus if you don't have it you don't need it
but if you have children you're going to need it
and God's going to provide it
hey you got to work by the sweat of your face
you got to go out and work and toil and earn and
and you might have to do without you might not have everything that the Joneses have
but let me tell you something
it's God's will
and the family today is being destroyed by design
the government wants to make it almost impossible for you they want to make it difficult for you
I heard in California and I don't know if this is taking effect maybe brothers and girls might know
but I used to live in California and they passed a law while I was living in California
but it was something that wasn't going to take effect for like ten years
or eight years some law
do you know when this was supposed to take effect? What year?
2010 I think they said
a special tax
on all minivans and SUVs
where you're paying a huge additional tax each year of like a thousand bucks or
whatever
on top of what you're already paying
just because you're driving a seven, eight seater vehicle
well guess what
when you have five children
you're in a minivan
you know you're not in a Ford Escort anymore
you know you're not driving
a Ford accent
when you've got five children
and number six on the way
and they're making it difficult they want to make it hard because it's greener
you know the only thing that's green about me
you know I don't want to be green in my vehicle
you know I want my wife to be like the Bible says a green and fruitful bough
you know I want my wife to be fertile and green
okay I don't want
a green job and a green car
that you know
only holds five people in it because I only have my two little children
that the wicked people in this world who worship Satan and worship the
environment
and worship and serve the creature more than the creator who is blessed forever
amen
they're the ones who want to tell you you're overpopulating the earth
well guess what I got news for you Al Gore this world's not going to be here forever
the Bible says in Hebrews one that the earth shall wax old like a garment
it's going to fade away
heaven and earth
shall
pass
away
but my word shall not pass away Jesus said
I'm not worried about overpopulating this earth
I'm just going to be fruitful and multiply
you know the Mormons are doing it
they're pumping out all their little tricycle riding little missionaries to
go spread all their satanic doctrine
and yet a Baptist, a hair-legged Baptist preacher can't stand up and say hey
God told you to have children
well I'm saying it whether people want to hear it or not I'm saying it tonight
I'm telling you get on God's program for your life
get married
have children and let God
take care of the results in your life don't be an onan
and by the way if you take birth control pills that cause that that that child to
abort
after seven days or fifteen days or whatever
if you didn't know what you're doing if you didn't know that
then you know what the Bible calls that crime of accidentally killing someone
manslaughter
because it's not murder
because murder is intentional
but if you take those pills because you didn't know or you take that Deborah
Pavera shot or the patch or IUD
if you have an IUD ladies
that is not
murder it's manslaughter if you didn't know about it but you're hearing me warn
you about it right now if you do it again you're a murderer
I'll say it right now
because if you knowingly
put in the IUD
if you knowingly do these things after I've explained it to you and you can go
get the research at the library my wife when we first got married
drove to the library got out a bunch of books on the subject and studied that
subject and learned the truth on it
and I studied the package inserts I studied the science I looked at both
sides of it
and the side that was saying that it was false
was just saying that life didn't begin at conception that was their only argument
the people who said the birth control pills were not causing abortions
were just saying oh well you know life doesn't begin until seven days later
two weeks later
that was their big argument is that going to hold up with God's word? No
and so you're accountable today for what you hear preached
when you come to church and hear God's word preached and when you hear somebody
tell you about something bad in this world
you're accountable from that moment forward to do something with that
information
and if not it's murder if you're just going to intentionally do it anyway and not care
and I'll call it out for what and by the way abortion is murder
I'll call it out for what it is
say well it's no it's murder
that's the only word for it that I will tolerate
murder
these abortion doctors, they're not a doctor
they're a murderer
they're a serial killer
that's what we ought to call them, a serial killer
we ought to call it an abortion mill, an abortion factory
not an abortion doctor's office
I'd be insulted to be called a doctor if that's what those guys are called
to be a doctor in America you have to take an oath, did you know that?
just like to become a police officer
you take an oath that you swear to uphold the constitution of the United States
did you know that to become a doctor you take an oath called the Hippocratic Oath
where you swear not to do any harm to any of your patients, not to hurt anybody
not to kill anybody
you swear that
it's more like the Hippocratic Oath
if you're going to call yourself a doctor and you're going to commit murder
whether you're Dr. Kevorkian
or Dr. Tiller, whatever that guy's name was, was that the guy's name? Tiller the killer
this abortion doctor
see here I am saying it again, abortion doctor
this abortion serial killer
this murderer
this pervert
whatever you want to call them
you're accountable for this information and you know I'm out of time, I had like all these other
points about Satan attacking the family, I'm on point one
so uh...
I guess this turned into a sermon about one thing
okay
you know we'll save the rest for another sermon but you know what
this one thing is destroying America in many ways
it's true, why do people get divorced?
because they're idle
I-D-L-E, when people get idle
they get bored, they do dumb things
you know, you don't sit around worrying about some adulterous affair and
going out and doing your own thing
and you know what
it's amazing how people get divorced when the woman's in the workforce too, you know
there I said it
that is true
she's out howling around with other guys all day
you know what I mean and she's got her own money coming in and her own lifestyle
and her own spending or whatever
whereas if we would just stick with God's plan and have mom at home
raising the children
having children
she'd be busy with that
you know, dad will be busy working his tail off
working two jobs to pay for the whole thing
and you know what, then they'd come together
scripturally and they weren't going months with that and you know there are
people, look you may think that that's a joke or that that's funny
but you want to talk about sinful people and that there are sinful people in this
world
and I've known them on the job
that have not gone to bed with their wife in six months
it's true
and that is ungodly and wicked and you say you shouldn't even talk about it
I wasn't talking about it
you think I go to work and tell people about my love life
help us
I wouldn't tell that and especially if that was the case
you know, what kind of an idiot
goes around broadcasting that
but you know the bible says that a fool
when he goes out into the street
his wisdom departs from him and he tells everybody that he's a fool
that's what the bible says
and I don't think it's appropriate to talk about
my relationship with my wife in public and I never would and I never will
and I'm not talking about my relationship with my wife
I'm just telling you what the bible says
what I preached from first Corinthians seven
that said that a man and his wife are supposed to be together and to only be apart
for a short time for prayer and fasting and that they are not to go
these huge extended periods like these idiots at work where you know
have complained about
you're an idiot sir
and you think Christians are weird
you're weird
and let me tell you something
this is bible preaching
that could save America
because if the family is strong
then the church is going to be strong because a strong church is made up of
strong families
and a strong nation
is made up of strong churches with strong families in them
but today
we've been hoodwinked and hornswoggled by this world to think that you know
a women's lib and you know I want to preach a whole other sermon right now on women's lib
I'm sick of it
I hate it
makes me sick
it's the biggest lie of the devil
the bible says that wives are supposed to submit to their own husband
and to be obedient in everything
any questions?
we read it in Ephesians five
and women used to be so much happier when they did what God wanted them to do
and my wife's happy and wives are happy when they're at home doing what God
created them to do
not out doing what men were created to do
and so the family needs to be reinstituted if we're going to
have an America and a church that we want to live in
we can't change the world but you know what it starts with my house as for me and my
house we'll serve the Lord
and I'm just trying to help you out tonight guys
because this is how you're going to live the life that God wants you to live
this is how your child will grow up and love you and take care of you when you're old
I mean I had this whole sermon tonight that I can't preach because I ran out of time
about how old people they stick them in a home when they get old and stick them somewhere
like an adult I was talking about adult daycare
they took their
elderly to daycare you know that's not right I mean
we need a closer family unit than that
my grandma if she ever goes to one of these homes
it's going to be against my way I would say
I'll take care of you grandma she has 15 grandkids but you know what
I'll be the first in line to say grandma can move in with me I'll take care of grandma
I'll support grandma you know I mean and that's Bible
you know she wants to live on her own she's very independent woman at 88
she's 88 she drives all over town does everything goes soul winning
but you know I'd be the first one to take her into my own home
you know that's a whole yeah but but but we drop our kids off everywhere and then
there one day they'll drop us off
because what goes around comes around
you know what I mean but again that's just like
what the sermon could have been about let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer
father it hasn't been a popular sermon tonight and I pray that no one would go away angry
because I know that this subject can make people angry sometimes dear God and my intention
was not to anger anyone and so father I just pray that you would help them to just
those that are here that is to let these scriptures sink in
about what you've said about being fruitful multiplying the warnings about Onan
the scriptures about all the other subjects here God just help us to heed your word
to take care of our house to feed our family to provide for our own
and God please bless our families and and God I pray that you'll bless me with more
children dear God because father I'm thankful for the for the for the five children you've
already blessed me with and the six that's on the way but God my prayer to you right
now in the presence of everyone here is just bless me with more God if six is the end then
God I'm content with what you've given me and I'm thankful for but if God if you would
see fit I would like to be blessed with more children and God please just provide help
me to work and earn and provide what's needed and help every man in this room who has children
to be able to provide in a in a nation where it's difficult help us to earn and provide
what we need and help every young man to take this sermon and let it sink down so that when
he gets married he can do right and in Jesus name I pray amen
read a little bit about the way God has ordered authority in the home and he basically talks
about husbands loving their wives and wives submitting unto their husbands and then as
we get into Ephesians chapter six he basically goes into great detail about children obeying
their parents and how parents to treat their children and all throughout these two chapters
there's a lot of talk about the family and I think that today one of the institutions
it's more under attack than anything is the family even more than the church is being
attacked by Satan by the government the institution of the family is under attack today and I
want to preach a sermon tonight called Satan's attack on the family now an alternate title
you could give this sermon is the government's attack on the family because really you'll
see that as I go through the points tonight and show this a lot of this has to do with
you know our government that's pushing this stuff but really the family is an important
institution it goes all the way back if you would go down to verse number 31 of Ephesians
chapter 5 it says for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and shall be joined
unto his wife and they too shall be one flesh this goes all the way back to Genesis 2 that's
a quote from Genesis chapter 2 when God created the man and his wife he called their name
Adam he placed them in the Garden of Eden and he told them to be fruitful and multiply
which is meaning what have children so he made a man he made a woman he commanded them
be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and he put them in that garden and he
explains that to this day it's the same thing therefore shall a man leave his father and
mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they too shall be one flesh this is an important
institution that goes all the way back to Genesis 2 it's important all throughout the
Bible and today the family is being attacked and destroyed around us and the devil is the
one who's behind it go back you're in Ephesians 5 just look at chapter 4 I want to show you
one thing it says in verse 26 it says be ye angry and sin not let not the sun go down upon your
wrath neither give place to the devil okay so the devil is out to destroy you the devil wants
to as he Jesus told Peter to sift you as wheat you know the devil wants to creep in it says in
second Corinthians chapter 2 you don't necessarily have to turn there but second
Corinthians 2 10 and 11 says to whom you forgive anything I forgive also for if I
forgave anything to whom I forgave it for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ lest
Satan should get an advantage of us for we are not ignorant of his devices so the devil is out
to attack us he wants to give an advantage of us he wants to get in and destroy our home he wants
to destroy your marriage through a lack of forgiveness that could take place between a
man and a woman and today he's doing a very good job of destroying the institution of marriage and
the family today look just look at look around 75% of marriages will end in divorce now that is
a symptom and that shows intrinsically that there is something wrong in America today with
how we look at the family how we look at the home if 75% of marriages are going to fail 75%
are going to divorce you look at children growing up today in single-parent homes you look at
children growing up today and disrespecting their parents you look at children that are completely
disconnected and isolated from their parents want nothing to do with their parents because the devil
knows if he can attack the family if he can get a bunch of young people that are growing up and
going to a public school system and just being brainwashed by the world being taught all this
garbage that he can really just destroy an entire generation destroy our country destroy our churches
because the future is in the children it's in the young people and so we can destroy the family
take the children out of the family get them raised somewhere else destroy the family by
turning it into a divorced home destroy the family by making there be a disconnect and a
disjointed relationship between married people or between parents and their children then he can
destroy the youth and there will be a whole generation that will rise up as they did in the
days of Joseph where he says that Joseph died and there rose up another generation that knew not the
Lord Joshua died there rose up people who knew not the Lord you know people rise up another generation
because they haven't been taught by the previous generation they know nothing about God the Bible
I wonder when I was growing up in Sacramento California we went to an independent fundamental
Baptist church that had six or seven hundred people in it and yet today churches in that same area have
way less people going to them and you wonder where did all those people go where did all their
children go it's because we're losing the next generation because we've lost the family as an
institution let me just take you through the devil's attack on the family let me just take
you through all the ways that he has destroyed the family today and we can make sure that even if
he's going to destroy someone else's family we're not going to give place to the devil
he doesn't have to destroy our family we don't we're not ignorant of his devices I mean maybe
the world out there doesn't know what's going on and they're ignorant of his devices but we in here
don't have to be ignorant of his vice we have the Bible here to show us what's going on and we
are not going to give place to the devil and I'm not going to let him destroy my family
but let me tell you where Satan's attack on the family begins it starts out when the when when
two people are married right that's where the family starts when a man leaves his father and
mother and cleaves unto his wife and they too become one flesh that's where the family begins
right it starts out just a married couple with no children well even just to get to that point
most people aren't even leaving father and mother and going to be with their spouse anymore
most people are already out living with another guy before they get to that point you know they
grow up and they're they're they're living with somebody else or they've already committed
fornication and may have been made one flesh with a whole bunch of people but you know what okay
let's just start over though you know you've gotten married you know now you're doing it right
you're a married couple you're you you've you've you've forsaken father and mother
and you're starting a new family you know the first thing that the devil's going to tell you
to do and many people won't like this but it's true go to Genesis chapter 38 the first thing
he'll try to do to destroy your family because look do you think he likes the fact that you've
decided to start a family that you want to raise that family in church that you're married and that
you're not going to be out with everybody else it's just going to be you and your wife for life
do you think that he wants that marriage to succeed do you think he wants you to raise
godly children in that home and raise them up to be the next generation of soul-winning christians
no and so his goal is going to be to destroy your marriage and to tear it apart and the first thing
he's going to use to destroy your marriage is birth control he said oh man i can't believe
you'd say that yes that is the first thing that the devil will try to do to young people today
is they get married and we've got young married people here and we've got other people who are
single who are going to be married in the near future right guys no i'm just kidding anyway at
some point you're going to get married you need to listen to this because this is going to be the
first lie of the devil that he's going to try to use to destroy that marriage did you know that
statistically the most likely time for you to get a divorce is either in the first two years
of marriage or in the first two years after your last child leaves the home leaves the home those
are the two times my parents are divorced and my parents got divorced within two years of the last
child leaving the home i mean this is true it's the statistic that is the two time periods why
because having children is something that brings the bond of your marriage closer together it
should build your marriage and draw you closer together and build a stronger union but today the
devil is going to want to tell you the exact opposite the children are a burden the children
are going to come between you and mess up your relationship with your wife hey the bible says
in psalm 127 3 children are in heritage of the lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward
so the bible says that children are a blessing children are a reward children are a good thing
it's not a curse when you have a child it's a blessing and it shouldn't tear that family
apart it should bring the family closer together to have a child it brings my wife and i closer
together that we have children it doesn't make us further apart but the world and even christianity
and even independent baptist churches will tell you wait two years to have a child after you get
married wait two years get to know each other look that's not scriptural that's not bible
and the devil will use that to attack your family you say oh what are you talking about well i'm
going to get into several ways that the devil uses birth control to destroy the family but first
let's just get into the bible here i'm just going to show you that god condemns birth control in the
bible because you say well you know i think it's just a personal choice now i always think it's
funny that christians always say well when i decide what i want to do for a living i want to
do god's will right and they always say when i get married i want to be sure that i marry a girl
that's the will of god for my life and you say where do you want to live wherever god wants me
but then you ask people how many children do you want to have and nobody said thinks to say well
as many as god gives me you know whatever god has planned whatever god thinks it's up to god it says
of he-man and you don't have to turn there but in the book of first chronicles there was a man named
he-man i like his name but he said he doesn't sound like a little sissy you know he sounds like
a manly guy but his name was he-man h-e-m-a-n and the bible says the lord gave unto he-man
14 sons and three daughters you know and why did he have 17 children i mean that's a lot of
children right you know why he had 17 children because that's how many the lord gave unto him
that's what the bible says the lord gave unto he-man 14 sons three dogs but see here we have
another man onan so on one side we've got he-man god gave him 14 sons and three dogs on this side
we've got onan so let's look at he-man versus onan look at onan in uh genesis chapter 38
and verse number uh
six is where we'll start the bible says this and judah took a wife for er his firstborn whose name
was tamar and er judah's firstborn was wicked in the sight of the lord and the lord slew him
so god basically just got sick of this guy er and just killed him okay and then it says in verse
number eight and judah said unto onan go in unto thy brother's wife and marry her and raise up seed
to thy brother so onan listens to dad says okay so onan marries this girl tamar and he's basically
going in on the wedding night to consummate the marriage and the bible says in verse 9 and onan
knew that the seed should not be his and it came to pass when he went in unto his brother's wife
that he spilled it on the ground lest that he should give seed to his brother
and the thing which he did displeased the lord wherefore he slew him also
now look this guy basically got married to this girl and he went in and he basically consummated
the marriage but he did not want her to become pregnant from this union and so he basically you
know if you're old enough to understand you're old enough to understand if not then don't worry
about it but the bible said what happened okay and because of what happened this made god angry
and god killed him okay now you say well i i don't think that that story is really applicable okay
then come show me the story that is applicable show me where else in the bible anybody did
anything like that that's the only example in the bible of anybody practicing a form of birth
control that you can show me it was this wicked man who wanted to go in to his wife and yet he
did not want to have the child that will be the result and you say well it's just because he did
it for a selfish reason but you know what isn't it always a selfish reason when you disobey what
god told you to do what's your selfish reason for practicing birth control what's your selfish reason
that you want to have a bigger house and a bigger car or is it just because you have the faith to
believe that god can provide your needs everybody's got a selfish reason when they do the wrong thing
when they go their own way when they lean onto their own understanding instead of having the
faith to believe that if god commanded you he said leave father and mother cleave under your
wife and be one flesh and look if you would at first corinthians chapter seven look at first
corinthians seven and you know we need we need to get back to this kind of bible preaching i mean
it's sad that this story is probably not even preaching most people have never even heard of
onan and they might have gone to church for the last 30 years and didn't even hear the name of onan
and it's yet it's a story in the bible for our edification for us to learn from look at this
scripture in uh first corinthians chapter 7 verse 1 now concerning the things whereof you wrote
unto me it is good for a man not to touch a woman nevertheless to avoid fornication let every man
have his own wife and let every woman have her own husband right so god says look you know you
don't want to be obviously going to bed before you're married fornication is a sin fornication
wicked he said it's good for a man not to touch a woman but he says to avoid fornication let every
man have his own wife and let every wife have her own husband it says in verse three let the
husband render unto the wife do benevolence and likewise also the wife unto the husband the wife
hath not power of her own body but the husband and likewise also the husband hath not power of
his own body but the wife defraud ye not one the other except it be with consent for a time
that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer and come together again that satan tempt you not
for your incontinence either who tempt you not you see how satan wants to attack the family
it seems like when we're talking about marriage in the bible when we're talking about child
rearing in the family doesn't it seem like satan keeps coming up wanting to get in there
give an advantage destroy the family and one of the ways that he's going to get in there is by
creating a dysfunctional relationship between a man and his wife and then he could come in and
tempt that man or tempt that wife to commit adultery do you see that he said if you defraud
one another as husband and wife if you don't render unto the wife do benevolence and render
the husband do benevolence and of course you know if you're too young to understand that then so
much the better if you're old enough to understand that you know what this passage is talking about
he said if you do then satan can come tempt you for your incontinence
and so if god is telling you that the only time that you should abstain from that relationship
with your wife or that relationship with your husband is to give yourself unto prayer and
fasting who knows what fasting means going without food you know do you go out without
food with for six months has anybody ever gone without food for one month
you know do you go a week or two without food i mean we're talking about you know a period
that's a short period of time we're not talking about this dysfunctional kind of marriage today
god is commanding a man and a wife to have that relationship together and if god has commanded us
to have that relationship with our wife and for a wife to have that relationship with us
guess what the result of that relationship is children i mean is everybody following
the sermon tonight is it is this complicated or anything it's very simple tonight and people
tonight and people many times want to resist the truth but it's very simple what god wants
he tells you look this is my plan you grow up you get married it's a man and a wife they come
together they're one flesh he said you know you don't abstain and go without and and go all these
long periods of time he says have that relationship with your wife the product is going to be children
in fact children are a blessing in fact children are a reward
in fact children are a good thing that's going to come from that union
where did god tell you to go to walgreens and buy some contraption or tool or pill or drug or
whatever in order to be like onan in order to not have children from that union think about this
where is god telling you to do that it's not in the bible but i can show you in the bible
where he told you to be fruitful and multiply you say well i think he was just talking to
adam well let's go back and look at that let's go back to genesis right at the beginning of the
bible and i'm going to explain to you in a moment the other way that this that this will be something
that the devil will use to attack your family this thing of birth control look at genesis chapter
number two i'm sorry genesis one actually we're going back even further than that
genesis chapter one says this in verse 28 and god blessed them is talking about the man and his wife
the male and female and god blessed them and god said unto them be fruitful and multiply
and replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the
fowl of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth now let me ask you a
question what is the word replenish mean refill now let me ask you something was the earth ever
filled before adam and eve with people no adam was the first man on this earth and his wife
was the second person on this earth so if god were just talking to adam and eve
would he have said refill that wouldn't make any sense at all i mean if he said to adam refill
he'd be like how can i get a refill if i'd never been filled this is a command to mankind because
man is born he lives and he dies and so there's a constant replenishment it's like as if we had
a bucket with a hole in the bottom we have to keep filling it up right we have to keep filling
it up keep we have to constantly replenish it and that's what he's being told there to replenish and
to replenish and replenish and replenish and replenish that's not just talking to adam look
at genesis chapter nine also because if it worked that's why every word in the bible is so important
because did you know that all the modern versions change replenish to just fill they take out the
replenish and just change it to fill the earth new king james uh niv hiv all these other versions
will do that but in genesis chapter nine it says basically the same thing in verse seven it says
and you be ye fruitful and multiply bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply therein
look at exodus chapter one exodus chapter number one second book of the bible exodus one
and the bible says in exodus chapter one
in verse number uh eight the bible reads now there arose a new king over egypt which knew
not joseph and he said unto his people behold the people of the children of israel are more
and mightier than we now jump back up back up if you would to verse number five look at verse five
and all the souls that came out of the loins of jacob were 70 souls for joseph was in egypt
already so how many israelites went down into egypt captive well how many went down into it
we just read look at verse five the answer is right there how many how many went down into it
70 and when they came out yeah it could be two and a half million four million it depends because
it says that there were 600 000 men between 20 and 50 who were warriors so that could tell you
that there were several million people at least two and a half million probably more like three
or four million or even five million 430 years later so in 430 years they went from 70 all the
way up to millions but after this period of time it says and the children of israel look at verse
seven were fruitful and increased abundantly and multiplied and waxed exceeding mighty and the land
was filled with them and that's when they said the children of israel more mighty than me now when
they went down there and there were 70 how many egyptians were there millions it was the most
mighty powerful nation in the world at that time millions of people why did 70 people outgrow
millions in just a few hundred years because of the fact that the bible says right here because
they were fruitful and they multiplied did you know that if you go to planned baronhood's website
it says right on it that birth control was invented in ancient egypt the iud was invented
right there on their website did you know that planned parenthood the abortion mill that it is
which performs literally millions upon millions of abortions per year
and is funded with millions and millions of your government paid tax dollars did you know
that the original name of planned parenthood was the birth control federation of america
that's what it was started as by margaret sanger in the first part of the 20th century
it was called the birth control federation of america later they changed the name to
planned parenthood it's true and so we see here that god's people were fruitful god's people
multiplied god's people had the command from god and they followed that command and the heathen
of egypt were the ones who were limiting their population and then they tried to limit the
children of israel's population by killing their children and every time a baby was born they told
them to cast into the nile river and the two righteous midwives basically refused to obey
and they kept the children alive and they ended up being blessed by god because they would not
put these children to death you see it's clear in the bible that god wants us to have children
that's why he gives us now does god give everyone the same amount of children no just because you
don't go down to walgreens and go down to the pharmaceutical industry and use all these bizarro
devices and pills and drugs that they give you it doesn't mean that you're just going to have
17 children like a he-man because god only gave abraham and sarah just one child
god only gave isaac and rebecca just two children but the key there is that that's what he gave them
god might bless you with one child two children three children five children ten children and
people get angry at this kind of don't tell me how many children to have stay out of my business look
i don't care how many children i don't care what your business is but i'm going to stand up here
and preach god's word to you tonight that the devil is destroying america and he's destroying
it with birth control he's destroying it with abortion he's destroying it with divorced homes
he's destroying it with the public school system he's destroying it with planned parenthood and
somebody needs to stand up somewhere and call it out and name it for what it is and say god's
people i'm not let satan get an advantage over us and we need to just read and believe god's word
if he told me what to do with my wife that's what i'm going to do and i'm not going to do anything
else i'm not going to do onan method and i'm not going to do the perversion method of what they
sell at the store you know it's i don't want to go into it obviously i don't want to talk about it
but i'll tell you something these device these devices that they're giving out to first graders
today these devices that they're giving out to sixth graders in elementary school for free at
school they pass the law at a town in connecticut that it must be given out to kindergarten
