Many feel that the family is facing pressures and challenges of all kinds today and that its future is under threat. We need to turn to the Bible to gain perspective and direction, to understand God’s blueprint for family life, how human sinfulness has marred it, and how God’s grace can redeem, heal, and bless family relationships. What can the church do to help families experience renewal in the light of external threats and internal tensions?
