Yes, Have Children
March 20, 2017
If I did not know what I know from God’s Word, I would be a pessimist. And I believe you would too. I would also be afraid to bring children into this world if I did not know God. But because I know God, I want to encourage you to have children.
Don’t ever let the devil intimidate you as a child of God from bringing children into this world. Sometimes people say, “Dr. Rogers, the world’s situation is so dangerous today, do you think we ought to have children?” Yes, yes! God’s people above all people, are the ones who ought to be bringing a Godly seed into this world and raising up children. Don’t be afraid.
Second Timothy 3:1 says in the last days, perilous times will come. And that word “perilous” is only used one other time in the New Testament. It is translated “exceedingly fierce.” These are exceedingly fierce days, but little boys and girls who have mothers and fathers of faith are to be encouraged.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
