God Made Us A Family - I

April 9, 2018

Scripture informs us that everything we do in life should be for God’s glory not our own selfish ambitions. Today on Family Talk, Dick Gauch, founder of Family Life Ministries, will share how his testimony of prioritizing wealth and accomplishments over his faith and family caused a radical breakdown, and how God humbled him.

What Is a Woman, According to God?
What is a woman? You might think that this is a simple question. In recent years, however, it has become as hard to answer for many people as an algebra problem, the kind some of us once sweated out in high school. Few topics have created more confusion and a firestorm of vitriol than the discussion of gender ideology. At the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute (JDFI), we understand parents are desperate for answers, and we want to help. A regular JDFI contributor, Dr. Owen Strachan, who is provost and research professor of theology at Grace Bible Theological Seminary, addresses the question of "What Is a Woman, According to God?" in his new essay. We wanted to make it easy to read and available to share with your family and friends, so we've designed it as a downloadable PDF.
