Family Shield

The use of pornography causes serious problems for individuals, families, marriages, and the church. Has pornography become a part of your life? Is it causing problems with relationships? Has it caused problems in the life of someone you love, your sibling, your child, your spouse, your friend? How can those addicted to pornography come clean? How can you help those who need to confess their addiction to porn?

Several years ago on Halloween I was in a fourth grade public school classroom where the children were dressed up. Matthew and Eric stand out in my memory. Matthew was dressed as Moses - he had on a white wig and beard, wore his father's brown robe, a rope belt and sandals.

Have you ever tried to witness to a Jehovah's Witness? If you have, you probably became confused about their beliefs. Maybe the discussion got heated and you became frustrated or angry. If you have a loved one involved in the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society it can even be more difficult.

Jesus said, "Go then to all people everywhere and make them my disciples. Baptize them and teach them to obey all I commanded you, and I will be with you always, even unto the end of the age. How can we learn to share our faith in Christ with our community?

God's plan is for families to tell the next generation about the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord. In the Old Testament we read, "And these words which I'm commanding you today shall be on your heart and you shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. God tells us not to conceal his great and mightly acts from our children, but to tell the generations to come the praises of the Lord, His strength, and His wonderous works that He has done. How do we share God's love with our children? Why should we go first into the home? Join us today as I interview Rev. Gregory Seltz and his wife Marie Yvette Seltz. Our topic is Go First Into the Home.

For 40 years Lynn Wilder, once a faculty member at Brigham Young University, and her family, lived in, loved, and promoted the Mormon Church. Then their son Micah, serving his Mormon mission in Florida, had a revelation - God knew him personally. God loved him, and the Mormon church did not offer the true Gospel. Micah's conversion to Christ put the family in a tailspin. How could they have believed the wrong thing for decades? If they left Mormonism, what would this mean for their safety, jobs and relationships? Join us today as I feature Lynn Wilder. We'll discuss her book, Unveiling Grace: The Story of How We Found Our Way out of the Mormon Church.

Have you ever lost a loved one? If so, you've dealt with the grieving process. What are the various dimension of grieving? Why do we say that everyone grieves differently?

Stay tuned today as I interview Greg DeNeal, a licensed professional counselor in the state of Missouri.

Would you agree with me that Christ-centered family ministry is needed today more than ever before? You don't need to look far to understand why Family Shield's work is needed. God's Word and Christianity are under attack. Biblical marriage is under attack. Life issues are under attack. God's Word tells us as Christians that we must stand firm, from Ephesians 6:14, and use God's Word, which is the sword of the Spirit.
