Today, we are at the How Can the Church Strengthen the Family Conference in the 21st Century. And we're addressing different issues of church and family life and asking the question, what does the scripture say about that? What does the scripture say about how a father should conduct himself in his home? What does the scripture say about how the church should operate toward families? How should families treat the church?

We live in an era where people treat the church kind of like a salad bar. They go up to it and say, I like this, I like that. But really God has called his people to relate with the church in a particular way. And great things happen when people treat the church the way that Christ would have them treat the church.
