To some, the temporal triumph of the Christian community in the world is a sign of God's favor and the essential righteousness of the Christian position.

The Christian family is under attack on all fronts. Christian marriages are disintegrating at an alarming rate.

If the Christian church is to move responsibly towards the future, it must restore or renew its ties with its past. Contemporary Catholic and Protestant radicals want to claim that Christianity means whatever Christian today happen to believe and practice, be it pantheism, unitarianism, or sodomy.

In two areas above all others the Christian demonstration of love and communication stands clear: in the area of the Christian couple and their children; and in the personal relationships of Christians in the church.
