Controversy at it's Finest

Friends, I ask you to not allow ignorance to be bliss...please consider what I feel so convicted to say. 

Contraceptions in the Christian marriage are so readily used, and honestly, used without much thought.  Aren't contraceptions "playing God"? People/couples often say, "well I want to get married, but I am not ready for children yet, so we are just being responsible by ______ (fill in the blank with "taking the pill"/"condoms"/etc). 

A few questions to consider:
  1. Where is the faith in God and the trust in God that He will bless you with a child in His perfect timing? 
  2. How is enjoying the pleasure of sex without the responsibility of sex godly? 
  3. Or rather, how does it bring glory to God or sanctify your marriage?
If you don't want to make it about God, then do the research on "the pill" and all of its side affects before you choose to frequently take it. 

I know this is a touchy subject, but lets be real here...too often these subjects go unaddressed among Christians or Christians that do not receive discipling in any form.  I pray that you would seek scripture and it's view on this subject.  Also, that Christians would stop letting the touchy subject slide under the rug and go so quickly dismissed because we don't want to step on each other's toes. 

Love you all, 
Me (:
