November 7, 2023
Sadly, many churches today fail to address the reality of the afterlife. But we know from Scripture that Heaven and Hell are as real as day and night. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his discussion with Anne Graham Lotz about her book on Heaven for adults entitled, Heaven: My Father's House. Anne shares that for those who have confessed their sin and trusted Christ as their Savior, Heaven is the ultimate promise fulfilled.

According to Pastor John MacArthur, there is no greater indicator of a corrupt and abandoned society than when that society will not tolerate anger against sin. On today’s edition of Family Talk, John concludes his moving message about the Lord’s wrath on America. Romans 1:21 says, “For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.” Never has there been a time more demanding of our prayers, to plead for “the word of the living God to be proclaimed across this nation!”
