Even clergy in his life offered no real spiritual foundation. Instead, he was rushed into a path of permanent change after only two visits to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He was prescribed hormone therapy and praised by… Read more

They are eternal structures ordained by God for our growth, joy, and salvation. In The Family: A Proclamation to the World, we are taught that “the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.” That truth has never changed.
