Children are a blessing. Our culture often gives the idea that they are a burden: disposable if they get in the way of adult self-fulfilment. We will look at the current attacks on God’s design for family life, as well as some of the cultural pressures on children (including the assumption that all children have the ‘right’ to sexual pleasure and to decide their personal gender identity). We will consider the harm done not only to children, but to society. Finally, we will consider how we, as Christians, should respond.
