The Generational Family

“Today we call the family the “nuclear family” because it is the family in the modern era.  The fact is, the nuclear family is the same as the biblical family with father and mother, sons and daughters, grandfathers and grandmothers.  The family is the first divine institution, begun by God in the garden of Eden and no other earthly institution has priority over it.  It will remain until the end of the age and those who build their homes upon the principles that God has given will be blessed.”

A one year (52-week) Children’s Baptist Catechism is included as an Appendix. The purpose of the catechism is to teach the basic truths of God’s Word in the understanding of child-like faith. 

Salvation, Security, & Assurance

“Do you know Jesus Christ as your Savior? The answer to that question is the most important answer you will give in your life. In fact, it is the answer that determines where you will spend eternity. We cannot look for the answer in human philosophy, science, culture, or even religion. If we are to be sure of our salvation, the answer must come from God Himself and we can only find God’s answer in His Word, the Bible.”
