The Next 500 Years: 2017 National Conference














































The Reformers' teaching on home life is unknown to many people, but it remains one of the most enduring legacies of the Reformation. From Luther's affectionate references to his wife as "my Lord Katie" to Calvin's pastoral care for families in Geneva, the home played an important role in the Reformation. This session explores the biblical teaching on marriage, sex, and family and discusses why these topics are important--especially today and in the future. It also highlights the need for the church to be the family of God in which love for Christ and His Word are nurtured.
