Mar 4, 202400:24:00Tap to summarizeGlobal and national birthrates are in a windfall. Our culture paints kids to be a burden and a hindrance to the good life. Scripture, on the other hand, tells us to bear God's image by being fruitful and multiplying; it tells us that children are a blessing that are ultimately granted by God. God created and blessed the one-flesh union with all of its procreative potential.

It can shorten our attention span, feed us one-sided, polarizing content, create a false sense of expertise, and keep us sedentary and unproductive; perhaps the greatest danger of infinite mindless content, though, is that it dominates mental bandwidth that could and should be used to meditate on God's word.
