Celebrating Black History: One Family’s Story – Part 1

February 9, 2023

America lost a civil rights champion when Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed in 1968. But did you know that his younger brother, Alfred Daniel Williams King, also died a violent death in 1969? And that in 1974, their mother was fatally shot while playing the organ at Ebenezer Baptist Church? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the daughter of Alfred Daniels Williams King, recalls to our own Dr. Tim Clinton the pain of their deaths and the rage that developed inside her.

Praying for Your Family

January 16, 2023

Exodus 28:29 records that Aaron, the high priest, entered into the presence of the Lord in the tabernacle. He carried forth the names of the 12 sons of Israel as a memorial to the Lord. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the late Pastor Jack Hayford reveals that his dad was so moved by that image from the Scriptures that every morning his mom and dad brought before the Lord not only the names of their own children, but also any person who had the same last name. Providentially, they heard first-hand from three separate people who shared their name, who crossed their paths and testified that they had personally received Christ in the last few months.

Especially in a world which is so hostile to biblical truth. In the latter years of Billy and Ruth Graham’s lives, their eyesight failed them. But their love for God’s Word was so strong, they drew spiritual strength from hearing the Bible read aloud, and reading Scripture printed out in giant typeface.
