A New Kind of Family

In these recent years, there has been a massive battle raging in America, a battle over family. And evangelical Christians are fighting valiantly to preserve traditional or biblical visions of what family is - one man and one woman who fulfill complementary roles and raise their offspring to be good and virtuous. I am truly grateful for the many men and women who have raised their voices against ungodliness. But my fear is that in the midst of the fight for a traditional family, many Christians have forgotten that they are members of a new kind of family, one that does not fit any prior mold. But I will not tax you with my thoughts when John Piper has preached so persuasively about this new family.

So, please listen or read, contemplate, and feel free to discuss.
