Family Unplanning

Craig Houghton has done all serious Christians a service by adding his thoughtful voice to the renewed discussion of contraception. In this day of me-first thinking, when children are often rejected as an inconvenience, Craig has called us back to Biblical basics with a clear echo of that authoritative voice that said, Be fruitful and multiply. That was God’s command to the first parents and He has never rescinded it. And though the modern church has largely forgotten its family priorities in the stampede to be relevant (which usually means mimicking the pagan society around us), Craig represents a new groundswell of Christian thought that seeks to return the family to the place of social prominence for which God designed it. Family Unplanning is a clarion call for a return to Biblical thinking in regards to God’s most important social unit, the family.

Craig Houghton has discovered God’s path in family planning and desires to share the insights from Scripture that he has gained. He and his wife, Michelle, reside in Ontario, Canada, where they homeschool their nine children. Together they serve the risen Christ and encourage families to be Bereans (Acts 17:11) and search the Scriptures daily to see if their lives reflect the truth that God has preserved for us in His Word.
