Having the Talk: Educating Your Children About Sex

When Medicine and Faith Collide — What About the Child?

However, as Dr. Albert Mohler points out on today’s program, the Bible never commands any refusal of legitimate medical treatment.

The Green Bible, Presidential Politics, and Evangelicals

With HarperOne’s release of the Green Bible, the mainstream media is once again asking if evangelicals are finally developing an “environmental consciousness.” On today’s program, Dr. Mohler discusses the inherent problems in the Green Bible and the underlying ideology, while also recognizing the call for Christians to exercise stewardship over God’s creation.

California Prop 4: Abortion, Parental Authority, and Child Safety

Voters in California are now accustomed to a long list of ballot initiatives every election season, some more noteworthy than others. This November, Proposition 4 will present Californians with the opportunity to demand that doctors notify an adult family member before performing an abortion on an under-18-year-old girl. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler looks at…

Raising Children in an Affluent Society

Americans have never lived in a period of greater and more widespread affluence. But how does this unprecedented level of affluence impact the Christian family? On today’s program, Dr. Mohler explores how parents can thoughtfully and biblically shepherd their children in a world of wealth and rising lifestyle expectations.

The recent news that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s seventeen year-old unmarried daughter is pregnant sparked a firestorm of conversation in the political world. But the dilemma of a teenage pregnancy is one that American families regularly face, including Christian homes. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler explores the issue and offers some suggestions on how Christian…

Parenting and the Internet: “Spying” on Our Kids?

Learning from Christopher Hitchens: Lessons Evangelicals Must Not Miss

The death of Christopher Hitchens on December 15 was not unexpected, and that seemed only to add to the tragedy.  His fight against cancer had been lived, like almost every other aspect of his colorful life, in full public view. He had told numerous interviewers that he wanted to die in an active, not a passive sense. Then again, there may never have been a truly passive moment in Christopher Hitchens’ life.

President Obama and Same-Sex Marriage — The Dance Continues

Some predictions are rather safe to make. 2012 is almost certain to be a determinative year on the issue of same-sex marriage. Multiple courts appear poised to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA] and, even more urgently, the appeal on California’s Proposition 8 at the Ninth Circuit U. S. Court of Appeals will set up a certain appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court. Given the facts of this case and the significance of the nation’s most populous state, the Supreme Court is almost certain to take the case. This sets the stage for the courts to make some determinative statement on same-sex marriage within the next several months — a decision that will go a long way toward setting the direction of the larger culture.
