Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., explores the issue of abortion and related topics with the Biblical perspective she received growing up under the influence of her uncle. In a day when the value of human life is in decline, these truths reaffirm the worth of all who are created in the image of God.

Dr. Alveda King shares her experience as a young activist during the ‘60s and applies the legacy of her uncle to the current racial climate. In this insightful talk, she challenges us to seek out peace with each other and build the future in the foundation of the Scriptures.

In "Financial Preparation for Uncertain Times," Dan Celia shares wisdom dealing with uncertainty, as he draws from past experiences, a wealth of knowledge, and Scriptures to encourage and comfort.

In “Surviving Government Economic Policies,” Dan Celia outlines the failed government policies that brought us to this point and how we as Christians can get out and engage the culture to change its course for good.

In the last forty-five years the child-centered family has replaced the marriage-centered family. Modern “experts” have been a wrecking-ball in the area of child rearing. In “The Problem with Child Psychology”, John Rosemond offers a fresh view of the family and the roles of parents. While revisiting “old-fashioned” methods of child rearing and offering new ideas, Rosemond shows that parenting is really all about teaching children to think properly.

Firm, consistent discipline is foundational to proper parenting, but it can be one of the hardest challenges parents will face. In “Parenting through Proper Discipline,” John Rosemond reviews essential elements of effective discipline, administration of consequences, and shows that a child’s natural response to proper presentation of authority is obedience.

It can be a temptation for many parents to substitute a friendly relationship with their children over one of proper authority. A misunderstanding of the seasons of parenting can lead to unnecessary difficulties in the home. In “The Seasons of Parenting,” John Rosemond demonstrates how a proper relationship between a parent and their child, along with proper parenting and discipline, serves two great purposes: it honors God and benefits society.

The teenage years are well known for being a time of difficulty and conflict between parent and child. The teenager has a new desire for the privileges of adulthood but must first learn the responsibilities of adulthood. In “Parenting Today’s Teen”, John Rosemond describes the teenager’s desire for freedom and the parents’ desire for responsible behavior, and how to achieve balance in a God honoring way.

There is great disagreement within the modern Church on how important the bible is to an understanding of homosexuality. As we listen to the opposing voices, it becomes clear that the underlying issue is one of hermeneutics. In Volume 1 of The Bible and Homosexuality, Dr. Robert Gagnon cuts through the false arguments to examine the foundational issues and texts that should form the basis of a Christian’s approach to the issue.

Living in a rapidly decaying society, Christians can find themselves carried along with the acceptance of homosexual marriage. Ironically, this deception happens while holding in their hands the greatest revelation of sexual ethics – their bibles. In Volume 2 of The Bible and Homosexuality, Dr. Robert Gagnon explores the richness of the Creation narrative and reveals the moral bedrock of marriage and sexual ethics.
