Contrary to the claims of pop culture, love is not singularly emotional, or even necessarily romantic. Biblically speaking, the cornerstone of marital love is an unflinching commitment to one’s spouse and a Christ-like posture of self-sacrifice. In Bob Lepine’s new book, Love Like You Mean It (based on 1 Corinthians 13), he explains that patience, kindness, and humility are like marital disinfectants which help wash away the toxins that can build up over time.

Bringing Up Boys
With so much confusion about the role of men in society, it’s no wonder we have questions about how to bring up boys in the right way. Why are so many young males in crisis? What qualities should we be instilling in our sons? The culture has vilified masculinity, and as a result, an entire generation of boys is growing up without a clear idea of what it means to be a man. To help parents confront this challenge, the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute has developed a new 10-day email series based on Dr. Dobson’s best-selling book, Bringing Up Boys. It’s designed to equip you to wisely lead your sons to become godly men.

Despite the fact that President Joe Biden has signed pro-abortion executive orders, God has been moving through the passage of “Heartbeat Bills” in 10 states (If a heartbeat is detected, the baby is protected against being aborted). On this edition of Family Talk, guest Janet Porter, author of A Heartbeat Away, says “what was once impossible is now inevitable! We are going to end abortion.” She believes that God will use the Heartbeat law to eventually overturn Roe v. Wade, thanks in part to President Trump’s three pro-life Supreme Court appointees.

The premise of the “Heartbeat Bill” is simple: If a heartbeat is detected, the baby is protected against being aborted. Janet Porter’s work on behalf of the unborn over the past decade has resulted in 10 states passing Heartbeat Bills into law, and they’re gaining in popularity. According to public opinion research from The Barna Group, 7 in 10 Americans now support these bills, including 86% of Republicans and 55% of Democrats. In Janet’s latest book, A Heartbeat Away, she predicts that the Heartbeat Bill will eventually pierce the heart of Roe v. Wade.

Many women today grapple with low self-esteem and self-confidence issues. Mary Crowley, author of Women Who Win, has a simple message for them: “You are designed for fulfillment. God has a plan for your life.” If women uphold the twin goals of honoring God and serving others, Mary is convinced they will experience success in their family and business lives. She also emphasizes the biblical principle that financial blessings are to be shared and not hoarded.

With the election of President Joe Biden, the temptation for conservatives might be to withdraw, pull the sheets over our heads, and ask God to wake us up in four years. But Christian talk show host Janet Parshall urges us to stay rooted in the Bible, remain engaged in the culture as Christ prescribes in John 17, and fervently pray and intercede for our leaders – even if we don’t especially like them or agree with their policies.

In his February newsletter entitled, “Where Do We Go from Here?,” Dr. James Dobson underscores his frustration that the U.S. Supreme Court sidestepped the issue of election integrity, and that both Georgia Senate seats were won by leftist Democrats in that state’s January runoff election. As a result, Americans will be burdened with a radical agenda. His advice? Like the faithful farmer who weathers the heat and rain, we who are conservative Christians must continue to “stay in the field”—knowing that God gives strength to the weary.

When Jesus walked the earth, He was full of surprises. He most certainly surprised Cleopas and his friend who were grieving Jesus’ death as they walked on the road to Emmaus. Dee Brestin, author of The Jesus Who Surprises: Opening Our Eyes to His Presence in All of Life and Scripture, is today’s guest, and she notes that our focus on worldly troubles can often blind us to the fact that Jesus is near.

Raised by communist parents, David Horowitz was once a strong voice for the American Left in the 1960s. But after awakening to the evil it was doing, this Jewish writer went on to embrace American exceptionalism birthed from Protestant Christianity. Horowitz, author of Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America, explains that the real reason for the visceral hatred of Donald Trump is because he threatened the Left's agenda.

With the inauguration of President Joe Biden and the Democrats taking control of both chambers of Congress, American Christians need to prepare for the imposition of a radical leftist agenda. Best-selling author David Horowitz, once himself an adherent of liberal policies, reveals why leftist doctrine is a bankrupt worldview. In his book, Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America, Horowitz warns that if this liberal administration is allowed to kill off American Judeo-Christian values, then our freedoms could be next.
