The sermon teaches that spiritual faithfulness can change dramatically within a single generation—either toward godlessness or toward renewed faithfulness. Scripture repeatedly shows faithful parents followed by rebellious children, but it also shows God raising up faithful believers from deeply ungodly families, culminating in Abram, whom God sovereignly called out of an idolatrous family to continue the promised line leading to Jesus Christ. The lesson is that every generation must faithfully pass on the truth through Scripture, worship, prayer, discipline, catechism, godly example, and courageous obedience, while recognizing that none of these things can regenerate the next generation. Parents and churches have a genuine responsibility to teach and model faithfulness, but ultimately "it only takes the faithful devotion of God Almighty" to give new hearts and produce lasting change. Therefore, the greatest hope for the next generation is not merely good morals, traditions, or conservative values, but the gospel of Jesus Christ—the power of God for salvation and the only foundation for true generational faithfulness.

The Morning Devotional Season 11 | Edition 73 August 18, 2026 Psalm 113 This devotional meditation on Psalm 113 highlights the supreme sovereignty and glory of God as the primary basis for perpetual praise. The text emphasizes that while all creation owes God honor, believers have a special obligation to worship Him due to His redemptive acts. Key themes include God's exaltation above all nations and His compassionate intervention in human affairs, such as raising the poor and granting children to the barren. These divine actions demonstrate His kindness toward undeserving people, inviting them into a relationship of honor and adoration. The message encourages daily meditation on these truths to prepare hearts for worship and family devotion.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is a severe youth mental health crisis unfolding in the United States. Youth increasingly have persistent sadness, depression, hopelessness and even increasing thoughts of ending their life by means of suicide. What is driving this? Why do these numbers continue to grow especially since academia has been promoting for years Social Emotional Learning or SEL? Could social media be playing into this? Or what about gaming into which some are immersing themselves multiple hours every day and well into the night while relationships and direct verbal communication with others is on the decline? What is driving this dramatic rise in youths with mental health challenges?

The sermon explores the spiritual warfare believers face by examining Ephesians 6 and the metaphor of God's battle plan. It details the six pieces of spiritual armor, explaining how each piece protects against specific tactics used by Satan to deceive, accuse, and discourage Christians. The message emphasizes that this conflict is not physical but spiritual, requiring constant vigilance and reliance on truth, righteousness, faith, and Scripture. Additionally, it highlights the responsibility of parents to raise children as faithful warriors who carry the gospel forward. Ultimately, the preacher encourages believers to stand firm in confidence, knowing that victory has already been secured through Jesus Christ.

Is it still possible to pay off a house before you're 30? If so, how can we support our children toward this goal? The dads talk about how young men they know have achieved this – and what biblical principles laid the foundation. They discuss the connection between obedience and diligence…whether childhood is for playing…focusing on productive skills like carpentry, rather than football…and ultimately, seeing our work as participation in God's own building.

This program comes as a stern warning! As children around the nation are preparing to go back into the classroom, this Crosstalk was broadcast to alert you that schools nationwide are carrying books with graphic sexual content. These books have worked their way into classrooms along with both school and public libraries. By design, these books are falling into the hands of children for the purpose of grooming them under the guise of education. Karen England is engaged in launching a new, nationwide initiative that is focused on helping citizens challenge these sexually explicit books in public school libraries. She is president of the Capitol Resource Institute. They are a pro-family public policy organization with a focus on education, religious freedom, parental rights, and life. They educate and strengthen families and engage in public policy. Karen is also founder of the initiative, Take Back the Classroom. Karen noted that this problem is far and wide, with red states often being the worst ones. Her organization has found over 1.4 million sexually explicit books across the nation. One in particular is in over 7,000 school districts. Hear the names of some of these books and learn what you can do to make a difference! More Information: TakeBackTheClassroom.com
