I cannot even imagine how frustrating it must be to try to teach in this anti-God culture. You are so right...you are not allowed to tell them what they need to hear the most! It is very sad, and my heart cries out for revival in our land and for God to somehow turn the hearts of our leaders back to Him! We cannot afford to be open-minded to sin, and you are so right in standing firm for what the Bible says. God bless you and give you wisdom as you and your husband continue to swim against the tide.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891257905649460436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143425638178770788.post-88750272577234674322016-11-18T21:49:22.395-05:002016-11-18T21:49:22.395-05:00Me, too, Debby.

My husba...I am SO glad I came across your article. My husband and I are newlyweds in our mid-50's, only having been married 4 years. My husband has been a great influence on my life and beliefs and has been a listener of FOTF for much of his life. We have great discussions about this: <br /><br />American Christians have been in the majority for most of our history. So as we transition to a minority position, the temptation to compromise increases. The snake asked Eve in the Garden, “Did God really say?”, and he asks us the same thing now:<br /><br />- Did God really create marriage as the lifelong union between one man and one woman?<br /><br />- Did God really say we’d suffer tribulation and that “all that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution?” (2 Timothy 3:12)<br /><br />- Do we really need to share the Gospel and “let our light shine?” – shouldn’t it be good enough to have a private faith?<br /><br />What will our answer be? Will we affirm what the Bible says is true, or will we doubt His word? I pray the American Church will remain faithful to Him!<br /><br />I am a public school teacher, and have been so frustrated with the decline in the morality of our youth in the last 3 decades I've taught. I'm also very frustrated at not being allowed to discuss and especially not be able to proclaim my beliefs to my students. So many of them NEED to hear that God loves them. My husband and I also discuss the marriage issue. I try to be "open-minded," but right is right. <br /><br />Anyhow, great article, and I am in awe that you got to interview Mr. Daly!<br />Heidi Villegashttp://www.healingharvesthomestead.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143425638178770788.post-53632541259661886772016-11-17T11:40:33.416-05:002016-11-17T11:40:33.416-05:00I have always loved listening to their broadcasts....I have always loved listening to their broadcasts.

I think that truly shows how important our witness is, who knows what hearts will be affected by our acts of kindness?<br />I was a foster parent for about eight years, and loved the experience. I am heartened that Jim would also turn his attention to that, after being in the system himself. So inspiring!<br />Blessings,<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143425638178770788.post-58785487484639996132016-11-15T22:39:10.192-05:002016-11-15T22:39:10.192-05:00It surely is wonderful how God has worked in Jim&#...It surely is wonderful how God has worked in Jim's life, and how He has redeemed all of that pain, and now his testimony and ministry is blessing SO many people.

The verse you shared at the beginning- 1 Corinthians 15:58 has long been a favorite of mine. It is one of the reasons I feel we need to live passionately for God - "Always give yourself fully to the work of the Lord". He doesn't want us to be half-way Christians.
