Vent.
I am kinda...flabbergasted? (I think that's the word).
In recent months, weeks...minutes...I have heard news of friends and acquaintances having babies.
However, the trend seems to be that these couples are having babies without being married...or at least getting pregnant without being married.
I am not out to judge or speculate on specific scenarios or circumstances.
I am looking at the trend in general, now that it appears to be entering my closer circles.
Why?
What is happening?

Like with anything else that is wrong with the world I blame postmodernism!
Tolerance....while I think it is important not to judge others because we are in danger of being judged ourselves...we've decided not to stand for anything. If as Christians we think that today's "family" is not what God intended, then we are afraid to say it because we think it means we don't still love and accept those that choose it for themselves so we applaud it.
On the other side of things there are those who believe it is not what God intended and they do say it, but they leave the voice of love out of their speech and simply cast judgement.
I don't know it's a hard one. We have a girl in our church who just had a baby and she is 17, do we throw her a corps shower showing her love and perhaps "condone" the action, or do we not support her at all, even though she is one who needs it most?
These are tough days, and not all seems cut and dry.
