Noted scholar N.T. Wright says that every generation has to take a fresh look at the Christian faith and ministry. We can't live on how ministry was done before because culture, language, and societal pressure points always change. Well, hear this: Non-traditional families are the new traditional family! Think again about your children's ministry, student ministry, and how you prevent divorce. The gospel is the same, but families are not. If you want to stay relevant, take a fresh look.
