Let’s Restore Our Military to Greatness - I

According to Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Jerry Boykin, America's military is in a steep decline. Sadly, it has been transformed by secular politics. On today's edition of Family Talk, Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Boykin explains that for every minute young recruits are indoctrinated with the woke ideology, they're spending less time in training to defend our country. Consequently, fewer young people are joining the military. The time is long overdue for our armed forces to be restored to greatness.

What if you were told that your newborn child might only have two days, two weeks, or two years to live? It would be a real "when God doesn't make sense" moment that would bring you to ask, "Why me, Lord?"

He recounts the journey that he and his wife, Darla, went on, raising a baby, then a boy, and finally a young man who was severely disabled and in need of full-time care.

Without Biblical truth, there is no compass to guide us in the way we are to live. Ephesians 6:12 says, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. Del Tackett gives a moving presentation about our society and the spiritual war against God's design - specifically, human sexuality. In a culture that wants to base facts on feelings, now is the time for Christians to speak truth in love to those around us.
