Absent fatherhood is a significant issue in the modern western world. Statistics show that children raised with absent fathers suffer detrimental effects. The solution to this problem is to change society’s viewpoint of the father and to help transition the father back into his proper role. This role can be seen in the Biblical model of a family, a man who is the head of the house spiritually, emotionally and economically; one who leads by example through demonstrating his virtue and patience. We can hopefully begin to prioritize fathers and the family once again. The Church must become increasingly involved through family counseling, and the government needs to remove anti-marriage welfare programs. READ FULL THESIS

Therefore, as Christians we must recognize the importance of balancing love and truth in how we think and talk about transgenderism in athletics. READ FULL THESIS

Since the establishment of welfare in America, poverty has remained a pervasive issue that now threatens the economic stability of the country as resources are increasingly devoted to national poverty alleviation efforts. A history of misguided and ineffective programs that have failed to address the underlying causes of poverty have contributed to this trend. In an effort to remedy the current welfare system, the Church must be committed to fulfilling God’s command to care for the poor. READ FULL THESIS
