Monday, 6:15-8:00 PM CST
(Two credit hours) Offered during the fall
semester, this is a special class on understanding and applying the Biblical principles of personal
relationships within the family. With the moral fabric of our nation already badly eroded by the
persistent flow of humanistic thought into the mainstream of our culture, the traditional views of the
family and moral ethics are quickly fading away. This course is designed for those who are sincerely
interested in learning how to protect their own families from the destructiveness of worldly
philosophies and to help others do the same through the application of the Biblical principles of
parenting and other family issues. Class size is restricted for this course, so those desiring to attend
should sign up as soon as possible. Single people are allowed to attend. A husband or wife may take
the class without their spouse, but married couples are strongly urged to attend together if at all
possible.
NOTE: BBI allows for a modified application and “special registration” status. Such a designation allows students to exclusively register for only “special classes” like this course.
