One of the biggest issues facing the Church today is the attack on the family and biblical worldview, as demonstrated by the rise in deconstruction and biblical illiteracy — but there is a solution, according to Jack Graham, senior pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas.
“Family is the biggest point of interest for most people, in churches and out of churches,” the 73-year-old pastor told The Christian Post. “And we’re seeing the attacks on family, as we’ve known it, and on a biblical worldview. We talk a lot at our church — and we have a large Christian School at Prestonwood — about biblical worldview. … How do you view the world? Do you view the world through the lens of Scripture? Or do you view Scripture through the lens of the world? And, of course, we choose to view the world through God’s Word. And when you do that, the Bible applies to every life situation.”
According to Graham, the family is the foundation of civilization, divinely ordained to flourish through a biblical perspective.
“People want to know, ‘What does the Bible say to my family, to my children, how I raise my kids?’ We’re seeing this whole movement of deconstruction now. We’re seeing young people grow up in Church and then potentially abandon their faith. What we want to do is preventative medicine,” he said.
“I believe the Church right now needs to be on the cutting edge of preventative work in terms of our children, preparing them to answer the big questions that are coming their way, and to equip parents to be able to answer their children’s questions so that when their children leave home, they’ll have a faith to live by and not to abandon.”
