The traditional family is under attack but are we really being told all the facts?
For 30 years now, many in the intelligentsia have blamed the nuclear family for the ills in society. The family is portrayed as the seed bed of repression and hypocrisy, of frustration and stereotyped gender roles. At the very least the media bombards us with 'evidence' to show that the family is 'just another lifestyle choice', and even some within the established church have jumped on this bandwagon.
If, as evangelicals, we advocate chastity before marriage, fidelity within marriage, and we oppose homosexuality, we are looked at as if we believed that the earth is flat. It is easy to be intimidated. Of course, we believe these things because they are revealed to us in the Word of God. But what about the conscience? Are not the laws of God written on the hearts of men and women? Should not common sense and scientific evidence bear out the principles of Scripture?
