The Centrality of the Family (Remastered)
from Rushdoony Radio · host R.J. Rushdoony
This session argues that the family is God’s central institution, deliberately placed at the heart of human life so that every person—husband, wife, child—participates in the most important sphere of God’s order. Because the family forms character, transmits faith, and teaches responsibility, it is both the place of greatest blessing and the deepest vulnerability, capable of profound joy or devastating harm. Modern culture wages war on the family through statism, radical individualism, abortion, sexual revolution, and rootlessness, all designed to sever loyalty, responsibility, and generational continuity, leaving isolated individuals ripe for control by the power state. Scripture, by contrast, treats family rebellion as life-destroying, honors genealogy, and insists that sexuality reflects religion—either godly love within covenant or ungodly aggression and domination. Precisely because the family is the key to life and the future, it is fiercely attacked by humanism and tragically underestimated by the church; yet it remains the decisive battleground where God’s order is either upheld or overthrown. #BiblicalFamily #FamilyCentrality #GodsOrder #AgainstStatism #CovenantLife #FaithAndFamily #CultureWar #SexualRevolution #ChristianWorldview #FamilyIsTheFuture
