Faithful Parents and Rebellious Children

May 16, 2024

Question: Dr. Dobson, you have said that the children of godly parents sometimes go into severe rebellion and never return to the faith they were taught. I have seen that happen to some wonderful families that loved the Lord and were committed to the church. Still, it appears contradictory to Scripture. How do you interpret Proverbs 22:6, which says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it"? Doesn't that verse mean, as it implies, that the children of wise and dedicated Christian parents will never be lost? Doesn't it promise that all wayward offspring will return, sooner or later, to the fold?

Back Off and Let Your Son Grow Up

April 25, 2024

Your task is to build a man out of the raw materials available in your delightful little boy, stone upon stone upon stone. This task must be your highest priority for a period of time.

Pornography is a Huge Threat to Boys

April 24, 2024

I hope you will read very carefully what I am about to write because it explains why this matter is so significant. Porn and smut pose a great threat to your boys. A single exposure to it by some thirteen to fifteen-year-olds is all that is required to create an addiction that will hold them in bondage for a lifetime. It is more addictive than cocaine or heroin. That was one of the conclusions drawn during the Attorney General's Commission on Pornography, on which I served.

Why Every Man Needs to Say No to Porn

April 22, 2024

A survey finding from Covenant Eyes indicated that 93% of boys view online porn before they reach the age of 18 (62% for girls). To say that porn is pervasive in our culture is a gross understatement. While I could easily quote numerous studies that show the life-long destructive effects of porn on men and women, I don't need to. I've personally witnessed enough marriages and families that have been ripped apart by pornography to know how damaging its effects can be. Yet, it doesn't need to be this way.

Within the Master's design for humanity, He created two distinct genders in His image—male and female. From Genesis to numerous books of the New Testament, God provides a very defined explanation of what authentic manhood should look like.

Let Boys Be Boys

April 3, 2024

Imagine sending an army to war without the tools or training to achieve victory. That would be ridiculous. And yet we are sending boys, ill-equipped, into a culture that has seemingly declared war on boyhood. The results are tragic: According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, boys are almost twice as likely to receive special education, and the National Institute of Mental Health reports that boys are three times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD.

Abortion: America in the Valley of Decision

March 21, 2024

I believe there are five good reasons that could convince a majority of Americans there is a way to help pregnant women in a difficult situation, which is better than abortion. Abortion is now a crime in some states and is considered a woman's right in other states.
