Lesson 163: GOD’S APPROVED FAMILY

Do all families receive the approval of God? Or His support? No. The book
of Gen. 18:19 tells us the mind of God regarding a true family accredited by God. It also reveals His concept concerning the standard of a true family. May the Lord open our mind of understanding as we learn from His word.
Amen.
