Contributed by Jason Pettibone on Dec 18, 2006

The family is His idea. The nurture of the family is a high priority for God. That fact is quite clear when we consider all the fences God builds around family relationships and the emphasis His Word places on proper order of the godly family.

For a weekend I interacted with a few dozen people with whom I share nothing but DNA a common ancestor. We gathered ...read more

We have looked at four alternative theories that some Christians use to either defend or explain to a skeptical world how everything came into being instead of what is clearly presented in Genesis 1.
