    Mother's Day attempt to elevate motherhood from its current cultural devaluation

    Background to passage: Mother’s Day is a multi-faceted day! I want to thread the needle this morning as we think through a particular destructive worldly philosophy that has influenced the church.

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018
