The Christian family is struggling for survival, beset by powerful forces all around it. There is the secular and materialistic world, seeking to impose its increasingly pagan values and lifestyles. There is the fallen and sinful flesh in humanity, seeking to be free of all moral restraints. And there is Satan, seeking to thwart God’s plan and dominion. Amidst all these, Christians are confused, discouraged, and badly bruised. The future looks bleak. But there is hope! God is committed to defending and strengthening the family. For the family is of his own creation. And the family is at the very center of his plan for humanity. God has a plan and design for marriage and family life that is unchanging and eternal. And his plan is the key not just to survival of the family, but to God’s ultimate triumph in the world. |
