Part of training your children “in the way they should go” includes teaching them about sex. This can be difficult and uncomfortable, but it doesn’t have to be. This video explains why it’s important to begin these conversations when your kids are young and how to use wisdom in doing so. Brenen and Morgan Beeler’s insights are based on Dr. James and Shirley Dobson’s devotional “The Gift of Sex,” which is on page 212 of their book Night Light for Parents.
As adult Christians, we know that sin has serious consequences, but our children may not fully understand. That’s why it’s important that we teach them as much about God’s justice as we do His mercy and love. In this video, Brennen and Morgan Beeler explain this critical parenting insight from the “God’s Justice” devotional in Dr. James and Shirley Dobson’s book, Night Light for Parents (page 210).
What should you do when someone hurts you? We naturally want to retaliate. But Jesus tells us to "do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you." That can be hard to do. So Brenen and Morgan Beeler give us practical ways to obey. These insights are based on the "Love Your Enemy" devotional in Dr. James & Shirley Dobson’s book Night Light for Parents (page 211).

Everywhere we turn these days there are people in need. Some needs are small and easy to meet. But others are bigger and require us to get out of our comfort zone.

It’s a parent’s worst nightmare—well-organized men in a department store, working together to kidnap your children and traffic them as modern-day slaves. It’s enough to keep you up at night!
"Wokeness" is a modern-day heresy which is incompatible with Christianity, according to theologian Dr. Owen Strachan, author of Christianity and Wokeness: How the Social Justice Movement Is Hijacking the Gospel. While its divisive rhetoric employs some biblical vocabulary and concepts, it is indeed an alternative religion, both in its methods and outcome. A potent blend of racism, moral relativism, and grievance, "wokeness" undermines the unifying work of the Holy Spirit. It is, therefore, anti-gospel, and Dr. Strachan offers a strategy to oppose it.
For a Christian, Thanksgiving should be a lot more than just food, family, and football. On today’s special edition of Family Talk, Pastor Chuck Swindoll, in a timeless sermon on the topic gratitude, reflects on Psalm 103, in which King David thanks God for pardoning his sin, redeeming his life from the pit, and crowning him with love and compassion. The hymn “It Is Well with My Soul” reveals why we are so grateful. “My sin, not in part but the whole; Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more; Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!” That’s true redemption indeed!
When Ronald Reagan campaigned for President of the United States, he said, "I believe this country hungers and thirsts for a spiritual revival." Nothing could be more accurate today. On today’s edition of Family Talk, guest speaker Bob Vander Plaats, President of the Iowa-based public policy organization, The Family Leader, urges citizens to engage the Body of Christ and anchor it with prayer. Bob encourages pastors to be boldly biblical and culturally relevant from the pulpit. Only then, as Hebrews 2:1 teaches us, will the church and its people be empowered to stand firm in their knowledge of truth and boldly proclaim it.
