It is one of the most commonly ignored common sayings of today that family life has been devastated over the last four decades. The most important change that could happen in America (or the West) would be for fathers to assume their role under God as the spiritual leaders of their families, and for families to become the center of religious life, not the churches. That would do more to resurrect the impact of the Church than anything else I can think of.
The primary problem has been the collapse of the Biblical worldview, and of our sense of being made in the Image of God. Until this is restored (and it will be), we will continue to wander in the wasteland. Nothing short of the Imago Dei can restore and rebuild the sense of family in the face of the acid culture of doubt and despair which secularism and paganism will always give us.
The flourishing of family life depends, in the end, on the Image
of God, because that image is itself a family image. We will be
developing that theme in the Yahweh or
the Great Mother? Library. See the
"Gender Prayer" for some hints on the
Imago Dei.

Dennis Prager on Homosexual Marriage -- We have a disaster of major proportions staring us in the face. And what is our so-called "conservative" leadership going about it? Where is the Church?
Games, Children, & Death -- telling children when they should die.... The obscene use of the "carbon footprint..."

"Fathers into Felons..." Steve Baskerville --- on the coming cultural crunch. An amazing statement of the nature of marriage and what we have done to it. When the men wake up to what is being done, watch out. Christians, where are you in this fray??? When men become Godly spiritual leaders of their families, in most cases, they will be bringing converted children to church, not little pagans, waiting for the church to convert them.
