But others willingly set up unconventional relationships, which often are doomed from the start. And we are seeing the consequences in all kinds of morbid statistics, including child abuse and neglect. Yet society encourages us not to see the shortcoming of this divergent, often misfit, collection of relationship. The voices acceptance span a broad spectrum. Everything is accepted, from divorce, to having children out of wedlock, to homosexual conduct.
Society ignores biblical admonitions against such activity.
Those who follow God's principles are dismissed as irrelevant. Being broad-minded and accepting is promoted as a strength. To challenge the validity of the relationships that pass themselves off as families is considered narrow-minded and bigoted. A family is a mommy and a daddy and their children. The people who endorse broad definitions of the family substitute counterfeits for the biblical standard.
