Focus on Your Own Family

"...why is the church spending so much time and money trying to prop up culture when it has done a poor job of propping up its own families? Shouldn't repairs be made first in God's "house" before attention is paid to other people's houses? More people might listen."

That's Cal Thomas, on why the Evangelical church is focusing on the wrong families.

If the US is on the "on the verge of self-destruction" for abandoning traditional family roles, as James Dobson told the NY Times , it's not the fault of people who support gay marriage. When evangelicals are making a mess of our own families, we have not earned the right to speak. In the words of Jimmy Buffett, "It's our own damn fault."
