It is so important to understand that God's value system is entirely different from our own—and His is correct. In human eyes, death is viewed as the ultimate defeat—the final tragedy. As such, it hangs over our heads from early childhood like the sword of Damocles.
Do you ever wonder about your true purpose—why you're here and what to do with your life? I think we all do at some point. It's part of life.
America is being torn apart by the current political divide and renewed racial tension. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King, Jr., has a simple, but profound message of hope during Black History Month. She says, “Fear not. Trust God. And love people.” If we marinate in our own anger, refusing to forgive our offenders, that pain can poison us from the inside out. Alveda urges us to ask God to help us forgive so that we may live at peace with one another.
In 1999, Carol Kent was living a happy life with her husband, Gene, until they received a phone call at 12:35 a.m. that changed everything. Their son, Jason, a promising Naval Academy graduate, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. After he received a life sentence without parole, Carol discovered what it meant to live between a rock and a grace place. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Carol shares that, like the Apostle Paul who asked for the thorn in his flesh to be removed, God’s grace is sufficient for her too.
Fathers have a crucial role as the head of their households: to love and cherish their wives, and guide and prepare their children for life. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his interview with Dr. Charles Crismier on the subject of his book, Hearts of the Fathers: Leaving a Legacy that Lasts. Dr. Crismier emphasizes that fathers cannot delegate their spiritual obligation to the pastor, youth minister, or Sunday School teacher. The responsibility to disciple his children falls squarely on his shoulders, as their dad. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
In Malachi 4:6, God says that He’ll turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers. But how will He do that? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Charles Crismier, the author of Hearts of the Fathers: Leaving a Legacy that Lasts, insists that there’s only one way that will happen. If the hearts of Christian fathers are turned back to their Heavenly Father, only then will these newly equipped dads be able to model that kind of love to their kids.
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Rabbi Jonathan Cahn continue to discuss Rabbi Cahn’s new book, The Return of the Gods. You’ll hear more details about the Dark Trinity, comprised of Baal, Ishtar, and Molech. Following Baal, the god of apostasy, Ishtar, the goddess of sexual perversion has led America down a road of pornography and sexual immorality. Finally, just as Molech enticed ancient Israelites to sacrifice their children in the fire, we have sacrificed our children through the atrocity of abortion.
According to Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, America’s disturbing rejection of the one true God has opened the door for the return of the ancient gods. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Cahn discuss the research and findings in his new book, The Return of the Gods. Rabbi Cahn explains that the presence of the Dark Trinity — comprised of Baal, Ishtar, and Molech—on American soil has led to our embrace of wicked practices. Ephesians 6:12 warns, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
On November 11, 1620, the Pilgrims, after fleeing religious persecution by sailing to America aboard the Mayflower and settling in Plymouth Colony, drafted an agreement of self-government under God called The Mayflower Compact. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Jerry Newcombe, executive director of the Providence Forum, says that agreement was the first step toward the creation of the Declaration of Independence 156 years later. He also notes that gratitude to God has been America’s key to success. From the first Thanksgiving 401 years ago to Lincoln’s annual remembrance during the dark days of the Civil War, Americans continue to “give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.”
In 1966, Time Magazine featured a cover story asking the question, "Is God Dead?" On today's edition of Family Talk, Christian talk show host Eric Metaxas mirrors that provocative cover with a question of his own: "Is Atheism Dead?" His new book of the same name explains that science makes the case for God's existence. For example, Dr. Stephen Collins, an archeologist, discovered the biblical Sodom complete with five feet of ash, melted bits of brick, and charred human bone. Scientifically, it could not have been caused by a fire or a volcano. The evidence points to the sobering truth of the Lord's judgment in Genesis 19.
