What Marriage Is, and What It Is Not

By David M. Tyler, PhD

Marriage is not a human idea, it was established by God for His glory and our good. Understanding what marriage is and what it is not is essential for Christians who desire to honor the Lord in their homes.

The Normalization of Homosexuality in Modern Culture

(Part 2 in the series “When Culture Redefines Sin”)
