Revival Ahead: Rebuilding Families to Renew America’s Faith
Recent data indicates that the decline of religion in America relates directly to the collapse of the traditional family unit over the last forty years. Churchgoers under age 30 are significantly more likely to have been raised in a continuously married home compared to their secular peers.
As the family of origin shapes a child’s worldview, the absence of a stable father figure often makes it harder for youth to understand the love of a Heavenly Father. Scriptural principles confirm that parents are tasked with passing down God’s commandments, a mission hindered by broken homes.
“In short, faith follows family.”
While policy can assist, true renewal must come from the Church reclaiming marriage as a sacred and essential institution for a healthy society. We must prioritize the domestic church if we hope to restore the moral compass of our great nation.
