*** The Christian Family
This course applies Christian redemption to family relationships,
- “turning the hearts of parents to their children and the hearts of children
to their parents,”
- teaching Christian husbands to love their wives “as Christ loved the church
and gave himself for her,”
- and teaching wives to willingly and lovingly submit to their husbands “as
the church submits to Christ.”
We look at
- God’s ideal for the family,
- dealing with tensions,
- reconciling broken relationships,
- the problems of divorce and rebellion,
- helping our children resist evil and keeping them for the Lord,
- how to invite God into your home,
- how to teach your children God’s word and lead them in worship,
- how to keep love alive in marriage,
- sex in marriage as God intended it,
- keeping communications open,
- activities that unite the family,
- choosing the right person to marry,
- and more.
Good for all those who plan to be married or to counsel others, as well as
all family members.
