we must recognize that God's basic institution throughout Scripture, starting from the Garden of Eden, is the covenant family. From a biblical point of view, all modern forms of government are variations on monarchism, of rule from the top down, whereas in Scripture, the family is the central social government.Mission of God, 67
There is but one family which ought to be reckoned, both in heaven and on earth, both among angels and among men—if we belong to the Body of Christ. For outside of Him there is nothing but dispersion
in the economy of human life, the family lays the foundation for human society for the believer and the non-believer alike and is the nursery of knowledge, worship, government, and all social order. Thus, when the family collapses, all society breaks down.Mission of God, 67
People often try to fix their families by making surface changes in important areas, but until they deal with worship, they will find themselves like the men of Judah--healing "the hurt of [the] people slightly" (Jer. 6:14). So many maladies in family life can be traced to the abandonment of family worship.A Theology of the Family, 45
