Biblical Christian Worldview
Media Missionaries where Christianity and Culture collide. Providing honest reporting and analysis on the intersection of contemporary issues and theology, based on a Biblical Christian Worldview. We report regularly on a broad range of contemporary topics in the areas of ethics, false theology, family, technology, megatrends, politics, freedoms, law, church, and eschatology. Our podcast and website (BCWorldview.org) are intended to strengthen the systematic theology of Biblical Christian underpinnings. Thank you for taking the time to listen.
Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

4 Concerning Indicators on American Nuclear Families and Their Impact on Children
The “nuclear family” is rapidly disappearing in the United States. It can be defined as having a mother, (whose primary role is caregiver), a father, (whose primary role is financial stability), and children. Though there are many factors outside the control of parents and children, this is the ideal offered in Scripture from the beginning.
There is much that can be drawn from the statistics offered above. If one is willing to make a correlation with data on the increase in crime, delinquency, deteriorating educational standards of achievement, and moral decay, the trajectory is not a positive one for families in general and youth specifically. The seams of our culture become more and more strained as the nuclear family comes increasingly under attack.
We know the forces aligned against God focus on the weak points of our society, and, one of the weakest links is the strength of the family unit. If that can be broken, it impacts the generations that follow.
Even though our citizenship is not of this world (Phil. 3:20), we are still held accountable as parents and caretakers for future generations. We can still make an impact and stand for Biblical principles of right and wrong for the sake of our families and our children’s families.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
