The Christian Family
BOOK REVIEW By Stanley O. Williford Director of Publications Before you complete those wedding plans, do yourself a favor and read Apostle Frederick K.C. Price’s book, The Christian Family, to get a clear concept of what marriage and family life are all about. You just may save yourself a lot of misery and heartache down the road. Aside from the Bible, The Christian Family is one of the most definitive books you’ll find on how to come together in marriage, and what it all means. In fact, if you’re already married and wondering whether you should be married, or should remain married, there is information in this book that may dissolve your concerns and lead you to make the proper decision. First, everyone needs to understand that God ordained marriage. It was His idea. He ordained it as a union between a man and a woman. There can be no substitute for marriage other than what He declared it to be. “God ordained that there be husbands and wives,” Apostle writes. “Therefore, it is easy to see that anyone who promotes relationships between men and women outside of marriage is in total and direct opposition to the clearly revealed Word of God. Anything outside marriage is not right and will have to be answered for at the Judgment.” “God's order is for male and female sexual activities to be confined within the context of marriage,” he continues. “That does not mean that everyone must marry. One can live unmarried if they desire. That is their choice. But if they do not marry, then they should not participate in marriage activities. They can participate, of course, but they will not be operating within the blessing and sanction of God.” The foregoing information may seem basic to many, but every Christian should know the basic information. There is so much beyond the basics in The Christian Family that even couples who have been married for years can enhance their knowledge and understanding – and their enjoyment. Here are some points Apostle Price makes early:
Apostle Price goes deeply into the subject of divorce, and what he shares on that subject may free a lot of divorced Christians who are unclear on whether they are allowed to marry again. | ||
