1. A Message To Intentionally Childless Millennials – By Shane Morris in Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood

https://cbmw.org/2022/10/18/a-message-to-intentionally-childless-millennials/

 

“Children are living testaments that the future is a place worth inhabiting. They give adults a reason to care about what happens after we’re gone, and they stubbornly raise our eyes to values higher than self-gratification. They motivate us to build institutions and traditions instead of pleasure palaces, to think in centuries instead of decades, to invest instead of spend.”

“Across rural Pennsylvania, there is a deepening sense of fear about the future as population loss accelerates. The sharp decline has put the state at the forefront of a national discussion on the viability of small towns that have long been a pillar of American culture.”
