Now is the Time for National Unity

U.S. flag

In times of crisis, Americans have historically set aside partisanship and moved with one voice in the best interests of the country.

Back in 2001, the terrorist attacks of September 11th seemed to reawaken the patriotic fervor of the nation. Only days after the tragedy, Republicans and Democrats stood side by side on the Capitol steps and sang “God Bless America.”

A bipartisan resolve also swept across all 50 states back in 1991 during the first Gulf War.

Thoughts on the Coronavirus Outbreak

The new and rapidly escalating COVID-19 outbreak has left families with far more questions than answers. As developments unfold hour by hour, it’s important to take a deep breath and remember that the Lord continues to hold dominion over every aspect of creation. Psalm 33:11 says, “The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations.”

As I met with the Focus on the Family team this morning, I shared that the Lord’s words, “Do not be afraid,” have been at the forefront of my mind during prayer.

What Would You Do if You Lost Everything?

I’ve grown accustomed to interviewing guests on the Focus on the Family radio program, a daily treat for me now for over 10 years.  But it’s always an honor to have the tables turned and be on the receiving end of the questions.

Late last month, I had the pleasure of being a guest on a podcast called “Beyond the Crucible.”

The show is hosted by Crucible Leadership founder Warwick Fairfax and my longtime friend and former Focus colleague Gary Schneeberger.

Strengthening Your Marriage Through Daily Choices

If your marriage is in trouble, I have one question: Do you believe God can work a miracle in your relationship?

If your answer is no, I encourage you to tune into our Focus on the Family Broadcast “Strengthening Your Marriage Through Daily Choices” to hear the story of Ron and Jody Zappia.

It’s an understatement to say that they had a very shaky start to their marriage. Within the first six months, Jody was overcommitted in her career, and Ron had an affair with a co-worker.

Saving Your Marriage with Love and Respect

You never know how God will intervene in a time of crisis. In the darkest part of Lisa Shea’s marriage struggles, hope showed up in her mailbox in the form of a book.

Her marriage was in trouble as soon as it got started. In their first 14 months together, she and her husband experienced most of life’s biggest stressors. They both got new jobs after they relocated out of state away from friends and family, and they got pregnant and had a baby.

The Crisis at the Southern Border

The heartbreaking image that was released yesterday of a father and daughter lying face down in the muddy water of the Rio Grande River is horrendous and a sight that you cannot turn away from unaffected.

Tragically, the picture is not an isolated incident. The crisis enveloping our southern border is acute and growing worse.  

As I have said on previous occasions, we must continue to urge government officials to work together towards a humane and God-honoring solution that will at the same time protect our borders and assure the safety of our citizens.
