Jonathan Daugherty was exposed to pornography at age 12. That one moment lured him into a lifestyle that would wreak havoc on a marriage. Yet, years later, with a major intervention from above, that couple would find forgiveness and grace, and are now helping countless individuals struggling in the silent world of sex addiction. “During the first four years of our marriage, I was still struggling, and pornography was an issue,” says Daugherty of Be Broken Ministries, based in San Antonio, Texas. “My wife would ask questions, and I’d deflect. Eventually, I couldn’t keep juggling lies, so my wife left,” […]

As children watch the children of Haiti, they need help processing the tragedy. They ask, “Mom, why did this happen?” But the real question on their minds is “Could this happen to us?” Tragedy is a horrible part of this world, but tragedy is also a reality. Yes, it could happen to any of us, in various ways. That’s why we don’t trust in anything other than God. Children need the opportunity to talk about the Haiti tragedy. Our children need to be taught to pray for the children of Haiti, as they are pointed toward God for their faith […]

There are 35 million Americans in the United States today who are remarried. Remarriage and the stepfamily have changed the landscape of what families look like today. When couples remarry a second time, 60 percent of them will divorce again. For those who remarry for a third time, 75 percent will find divorce at the end of their relationship. Sounds kind of depressing, doesn’t it? One of the biggest reasons these divorces happen is that when people remarry, they don’t prepare themselves as they should. They have been married before; they know how it’s done. Well, we ask, “How’s that […]

A study in the Journal of Marriage and Family concludes that any set of two or more compatible parents are as good for children as a married, biological mother and father. In particular, lesbians, they claim, “seem to outparent comparable married, heterosexual, biological parents.” Glenn Stanton, director of family formation studies at Focus on the Family, debunks the findings. “They’re just completely overreaching their hand,” he said. “Are we to think that nature has really sent each one of us down a second-rate road of having to be raised by a man and a woman?” The research dismisses more than […]

Granada, Spain – The CIA World Factbook says 94 percent of Spain’s population is classified as Roman Catholic, and the remaining 6 percent is classified as “other.” It is the “other” that is of great concern to evangelical missionaries here, because in that “other” category are the country’s evangelicals, estimated to be less that 1 percent of Spain´s population.

He said, “These numbers are the real spiritual situation in Spain. We have a church (that is) little, […]
