You are so right. God always has a purpose for His commands. We would do well to heed then (in His timing, of course). God sees the bigger picture that we do not see. He knows what tomorrow holds.
Steve's father emailed this to us last week. We sent an email back trying to explain that this is the reason we have chosen to have a large family and how the church is failing our country in this area. He didn't get it, of course, but it was a great reminder for us!
Sara, It is really sad the those who should understand it (THE CHURCH) just don't get it. They have bought into the world's rhetoric instead of being obedient to God's commands. And then they wonder why the church is dying here in America. We must pray hard for the church in America, that the ministers would wake up and read God's Word and actually obey it and then teach the laity what it says. No more superficial fluff, but the REAL meat of the Word, no more milk sermons. They need to realize that the gathering of the saints is just that, the gathering of the saints. It was never intended to be "seeker friendly". It was to equip the saints or to discipline the saints. Wake up church in America!!

This is serious stuff. This is why God commanded us (Not me! At least not for a while) To be fruitful and multiply
