What’s a Family?
By JR Harrison, Natural Family Foundation August 2025 What would hap- pen if there were no such thing as fam- ily? No father, mother, brothers or
Words mean things folks. Satan does not want us to know what a father is or for that mat- ter, a mother, let alone brothers and sisters. Satan wants to keep that idea in the test tube by iso- lating our souls from the rest of the world and especially our Cre- ator. He’s already confused a growing number of our citizens to the point where they can’t even define what a “woman” is let alone a family. THE FAMILY LENS It is said that “where there is no vision the people perish.” So maybe, just maybe it’s time for an eye exam in America. We should start by focusing more on
sisters, grandparents, aunts or uncles — just happy-go-lucky hu- mans eating, mating and sleeping with no affiliation, no worries...the ultimate in restraint-free living...no common bond or sacri- fice required one with another. Where would the human species be today if that were the case?
Maybe the better question is: “would there even be a human
a lawless society because we have tampered with the structure, form and practice of this perfectly designed institution. What happened in Rome and Greece and other former great civilizations will surely be visited upon our great nation if we do not do something, and soon to protect this cornerstone of all societies.
species” or would mankind have gone the way of the dodo bird, saber-toothed tiger or woolly mammoth without the family institution? I think you already know the answer to that question. Given that the family is so critical to the sur- vival of all mankind, why do so many humans seem intent on corrupting its purpose, structure and content — seemingly hell-bent on destroying the idea of the family entirely? Do we really think that a “Brave New World,” as envisioned by Al- dous Huxley in his book of the same name is our best path to the future? Of course not, that con- cept needs to remain in a book and not as a prac- tice. Man’s Vision But there is a problem here. We exist in a po- litically and emotionally charged environment where “public opinion makes tomorrow’s laws, and those laws become the next generation’s ideals.” If the family is indeed the foundation of all society, then would we not be wise to recog- nize the need to change public opinion, making it more favorable to the family versus destroying it through emotional blackmail and self indul- gence? Every day we see yet another law or cru- sade, whether intended or not, that chips away at the family as supported “by the laws of nature and nature’s God.” Yet those in leadership roles in government, public schools, the news media and especially the Church, rarely emphasize the critical impor- tance of the family. Oh, they will give it a nod or two but never note that the problems we are ex- periencing in the USA are due in large part to the fact that we have allowed God’s design for the family to be attacked on all fronts. Repeating History History records it, modern day sociologists warn us and our prison systems attest to the power of the natural/biblical family and what happens when it is dismantled? We will become
the family eye chart in our effort to see more clearly how bad our vision has actually gotten when it comes to God’s original design for the family. Once we get our lens corrected to 20/20 vision we will clearly see that “As goes the family, so goes the Church and as goes the Church so goes the nation.” Amen?
FACT: If you want to fix what is wrong in America, you must somehow find a way to lend a hand in an effort to restore the tradition of the natural family. Why? Nothing else will work without the first institution that was designed for the benefit of man being restored to its orig- inal intent. Whether it be the establish- ments of government, business, media, entertainment, education and especially the Church, if the family is not in its proper place and form, all of these insti- tutions will be rendered hopelessly inef- fective. THE CHALLENGE: First of all, if you see a bigger issue in America, then please answer this one question: What are you trying to fix that does not need the family as its founda- tion? The answer is obvious; there is nothing and please to my Christian brothers and sisters in Christ, I have a question for you: was God’s first creation of the insti- tution of the family and its members merely by chance? You have a father in heaven and brothers and sisters in Christ and in a secular “Brave New World,” those familial relationships can- not exist. What our adversary seeks to destroy, he first corrupts and that is ex- actly why he is so adamant and focused on destroying any concept of the fam- ily.
