It has been said that “misery loves company,” meaning that those who are suffering enjoy knowing others are struggling too. But that’s not pleasing to God. In this video, Ron and Trina Alleyne explain that when we help carry someone else’s burden, we often shed some of our own pain. These hope-filled insights come from Dr. James and Shirley Dobson’s book, Night Light for Couples.
It’s been said that life is one of the greatest baseball pitchers ever – always throwing a curveball when we least expect it. No matter how hard we try, we can’t stop difficult times from happening. In this video, Ron and Trina Alleyne explain how we can glorify God even in the darkest circumstances. Their challenging insights come from Dr. James and Shirley Dobson’s book, Night Light for Couples.
Growing up in Lebanon, Lina Abujamra (pronounced ah-boo-jom-ra) had a basic knowledge of the Lord. Upon her move with her family to the United States, she developed a deep desire as a young lady to serve Him and His Kingdom through her occupation as a pediatric ER doctor and a Bible teacher. But, on today’s edition of Family Talk, Lina shares that in the span of just five years, she experienced so much pain and hurt in the church that it left her feeling as if God was not really there for her. The author of Fractured Faith, Lina walks through her season of struggle and how she was able to find her way back to the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 says, "Pray without ceasing." But according to David Platt, our church culture today is known for preaching, writing and passive listening, but not for prayer and fasting. Unless we take action, we are in danger of missing the whole point. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the pastor of McLean Bible Church in Washington D.C. shares the value of our prayers, in an address given at the 2019 National Day of Prayer. He explains how we see various characteristics of God when we fervently pray like Moses did in Exodus 32.
America has been the greatest of modern nations and a "city on the hill." But, on today’s edition of Family Talk, Messianic Jewish Rabbi Jonathan Cahn explains that as a sovereign nation, we have subsequently turned our back on God, and darkened the world with immorality, pornography, and gender confusion. The producer of the new film, "The Harbingers of Things To Come," Rabbi Cahn states that America needs to learn from ancient Israel which was judged by God for its disobedience.
When Rabbi Jonathan Cahn wrote his books, The Harbinger and The Harbinger II: The Return, he was studying the signs of a nation in danger of judgment from running away from God. In a similar way to the Lord sending harbingers to ancient Israel in the last days before its destruction, Rabbi Cahn believes that God has been sending similar signs to America through the events of 9/11 and the COVID pandemic to warn us to repent before our destruction. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Rabbi Cahn, a Messianic Jew, discusses his new film entitled "The Harbingers of Things To Come," which takes a deeper look at his research on the harbingers in our country.
Many Christians view Jesus as being completely God, but sometimes forget that He was also human. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Jill Savage shares why every mom can take comfort in the assurance that Jesus understands their exhaustion, disappointment, and vulnerabilities. Similar to how a mom has her sleep interrupted because her child is sick, when the disciples were startled by a great storm at sea, they woke Jesus after He had an exhausting day of ministry. Jill also explains to Dr. Dobson the need for people to define themselves by who Christ is, not what they may see or receive in other people. It’s also necessary for a mom to have a supportive and caring husband.
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson is joined by author and speaker Jill Savage, who shares insights from her book, Real Moms…Real Jesus: Meet the Friend Who Understands. Together they discuss Jill’s fundamental precept—that Jesus can be a relatable, identifiable source of strength in every busy mom’s life. Between nursing your infant to having your toddler mistake you for a jungle gym, it’s normal to long for some personal space. For Jesus in His ministry, the pressure from the crowd became equally overwhelming. Similar to the need to establish boundaries to ensure some down time, Jesus stepped away from ministry to be alone and pray.
The greatest hindrance to the advancement of the gospel is the attempt by the Church to do the work of God apart from the power of God. That’s the assessment of Pastor David Platt. He adds that maybe the biggest barrier to spreading the good news is not the self-indulgent immorality of our culture, but our self-sufficient mentality within the Body of Christ. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the pastor of McLean Bible Church explains that the primary purpose of prayer is not to get something, but to know God and to understand that He works through willing intercessors.
