by Nancy Campbell of Above Rubies β Is It Possible?
Editorβs note: So now Nancy claims if you present your body to God in worship as perfect you must also be having babies. No birth control allowed, all babies, all the time. Her reasoning is flimsy at best. Are we to be human pez dispensers or fully functioning human beings?
I have a question for you. I asked this same question to the folks around our table this morning. Do you think it is possible to βglorify God in your bodyβ which the Scripture tells us to, if we tamper with the way God created us?
We know that all Godβs ways are perfect (Deuteronomy 32:4; Psalm 18:30; and Revelation 15:3). Therefore, the way He created our bodies is perfect. He created the female body for childbearing. He designed her body that during βthe time of life,β which is the time of ovulation each month, that she has the opportunity to conceive a baby.
However, we live in a society where many women donβt want to have babies. They donβt want to live the way God designed their bodies so they use contraception, or even sterilization, to make sure God cannot bless them with life.
Sterilization tampers with the Creatorβs design for our bodies. It changes the function. More accurately, it stops the function! It stops the ultimate plan of our Creator. Therefore, in doing this, is it possible to glorify God in our body? Letβs be honest now.
We notice that this Scripture exhorts us to present our BODIES to the Lord, not just our spirits. How are we to offer them? βAcceptableβ to God. This word means βwhat is agreeable and well pleasing to God.β
