building block of society

“The [traditional] family
was God’s first earthly institution.
Before there was a government,
and long before God instituted the church,
He ordained marriage and the family
as the basic building block of society.
The destruction of the family
we are witnessing today is, I believe,
a harbinger of the ultimate collapse
of our entire society.
The more the family is threatened,
the more society itself is in danger of extinction.
We’re living in the last days,
and nothing shows that more graphically
than the deterioration of the family.”
- John MacArthur
