I agree that wisdom and reason don't serve much purpose if we don't use them. <br /><br />An interesting thing that I haven't taken the time to check up on: My sister has a friend who did a research on quivers in Bible times. She said she discovered that there are a number of different types of quivers and the number of arrows that are put in depends on what the man intended to do. Some had a lot, some had just a few. Who would have thought? :-)Mary E.

I do know of families who adhere to this movement and I have seen some negative impacts of it. It really is too bad. What good is wisdom and reason if we don't use it. Thanks for linking up with Grace and Truth.

My hope is to help those who are not so committed and perhaps never thought about the ramifications of the belief they have adopted, or those who are questioning their commitment to it. Also, I want to help those who have heard of Quiverfull and don't understand it, or don't know how to answer it, to have some tools from the word of God for addressing the problem. <br /><br />I will never reach the wealthy, powerful ones who are confident of their position because they "know" they are right by how much God is blessing them (their interpretation). My heart yearns over the large and growing families living in near-poverty in single-wides in the woods with the husband working three jobs and the family scratching out a meager living. I hope some of those people might wake up and see their way to leave the teachings of Quiverfull. Sigh.Mary E.
