What exactly is a quiverfull...?
Quiverfull is the conviction that you can only get pregnant when
God wants to make a baby through you; that pregnancy is
more than just a biological process alone.
Once we have concluded that, deliberate, medically unnecessary contraception is seen as a rejection of His will in that matter and becomes unconscionable. It is not a position forced on us. It is a logical conclusion that follows that revelation.
It just so happens that a number of us independently came to the same conclusion at the same time. This perceived "movement" required a name, so we use one pulled from Ps. 127:3-5,
"Sons are a heritage from the LORD,
children a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are sons born in one's youth.
Blessed is the man
whose
quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their enemies in the gate."
QF couples don't necessarily have
big families. They just desire to have
complete families, as God chooses to bless them.
