We have finally made it to Ephesians 5:22 where the Apostle Paul turns his attention to the family. These instructions to the wife and husband are hard to digest for many people in our culture, including Christians. This is because so much of what we believe derives not from the Bible, but by the culture. For the next three weeks we will be discussing Paul's instructions to the family, and how fulfilling God's design is for us. Since our culture is so confused on the definition of a family this is a much needed word to our church.
There is so much I am not able to address in three weeks, so I have attached a article which gives a general survey concerning the Bible's teachings on the family. It was written by Andreas Kostenberger who teaches at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
