We discuss the importance of building a strong, Christ-centered marriage, developing biblical convictions about parenting before children come, and understanding children as a gift and stewardship from the Lord.


We also consider the goal of Christian parenting, the husband’s responsibility to lead his household, the distinct and important roles of fathers and mothers, and why parents must recognize their own inadequacy and depend upon God’s grace and wisdom. Finally, we discuss how God uses parenthood to sanctify parents themselves and the importance of raising children within the life and community of the local church.

We discuss what the Bible teaches about God’s gracious choice of sinners for salvation before the foundation of the world. We consider why election is not based on foreseen faith, works, or human merit, but entirely on God’s sovereign grace and purpose in Christ.

We discuss what the Bible teaches about the effects of sin on every part of human nature, why fallen man is unable to come to God apart from His grace, and how this doctrine helps us understand our need for sovereign mercy in salvation. We also consider why total depravity does not mean that every person is as sinful as they could possibly be, but that sin has corrupted the whole person — mind, will, affections, and actions.
