They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.” While some teach that children are blessings and gifts from God, others intend to use their children to redeem the culture. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. They focus on Psalm 127:3–5: “Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Proponents of the Quiverfull philosophy emphasize that children are a blessing from the Lord, and He alone should open and close the womb of a woman. In general, these movements emphasize the leadership of the husband/father, the blessing of children to a family, and the education of children in a Christian worldview. The desire to protect their families from the influences of a godless world drives some to search the Bible for alternatives. The closely related Patriarchy and Quiverfull movements attempt to do just that. Believers inundated by harmful worldly influences often band together to encourage and exhort one another to live Christlike lives.
