Between the years 1973 and 1981 there were over 9,000,000 abortions in America alone. This generation affected (”Generation X”) is the offspring of the Baby Boomers, whom are named that because of their enormous population. Many of the Baby Boomers became a part of the various drug-induced ideologies of the time, such as the planned parenthood concept (abortion and birth control “rights” for women. BTW, did you know that the birth control pill can actually kill the fertilized egg? - click here for info.)

So it appears that we have the smallest generation next to the largest generation. The Boomers have been a huge influence to the Church, as well as the culture at large. They have been the driving force of the liberals, hippies, seeker-sensitives,  as well as many other modern ideologies.

What happens when the Boomers pass on? Can we take our Church and culture back? If Generation X (those born in the 60s and 70s) do not find their identity and make a move on the Church and the culture, they will be swallowed by whatever ideology or religion that the 12 million soon-to-be-citizen immigrants adopt.

Besides gaining our identity (yes, I am an Xer), what can we do? How about being obedient to God’s Law and heed to Genesis 1:28 which says that we must be fruitful and multiply? If you are single, do not try this!!! Seriously, if you are married and you are able to bare children, then what are you waiting for? If you are both married and in school, you should weigh this carefully. Not that we should neglect procreation for education, but we certainly do not want to forsake a call that God has for us in industry or ministry.

Children are a blessing (Psalm 127) in more ways than we can imagine!
