Quote of the Week
“The family is supposed to be our training ground in this loving authority. It is a “ramping-up” place that God has given us to learn love, respect, honor, obedience, and trust, in order to prepare us for relating to others and ultimately to God Himself.”
- Mark Dever, “Nine Marks of a Healthy Church”
