a spiritually strong family can be challenging, even when the culture is affirming what you\u2019re trying to do.\u00a0 Dennis Rainey says we are quickly moving into an era where that cultural affirmation is going to be missing.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s going to become increasingly difficult to be a pair of parents, or a single parent, trying to hold to the Bibleand the teachings of Scripture in this culture.\u00a0 It\u2019s going to be difficult in two ways.\u00a0 People are going to want to throw rocks at you; but secondly, the temptation for you and me to look down our noses at other people, and judge them, and think, \u201cHow broken are you?\u201d\u00a0 Well, we\u2019re expecting people who don\u2019t know Christ to behave as though they do.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 This is <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> for Monday, December 10<sup>th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Our host is the President of FamilyLife<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, Dennis Rainey, and I'm Bob Lepine.\u00a0 What does it look like for us to learn how to live as missionaries, more and more, in our own communities?\u00a0 We\u2019re going to talk about that today.\u00a0 Stay tuned.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>.\u00a0 Thanks for joining us on the Monday edition.\u00a0 So, no guest; you didn\u2019t bring a guest in here today.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>I

today?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 I have some things on my heart and chest that I want to share with our listeners because I think we\u2019re living in an urgent day.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 It does feel like the culture is shifting a little bit; doesn\u2019t it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 It does.\u00a0 And Bob, here\u2019s what I decided to do today.\u00a0 I guess you could consider this a \u201cState of the Family\u201d address.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Okay.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 But it\u2019s not going to be this fire-breathing, flame-throwing, standing on top of the mountain\u2014shouting and yelling at everybody about what\u2019s happening in the culture.\u00a0 That\u2019s never been our approach, here on <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em>\u00a0 We\u2019ve always been about helping individuals, marriages, and families push back against the culture and live it out\u2014where life is hammered out in their own marriages and their own communities.\u00a0 So, I just have some things\u2014they\u2019re not the Ten Commandments; okay?\u00a0 They\u2019re not the Ten Commandments, but they\u2019re not ten suggestions either.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 These are more than coaching tips that you\u2019re giving.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 No doubt.\u00a0 I mean, it really is game time.\u00a0 I know this is Christmas and it\u2019s all filled with warm fuzzies and everything; but I believe, over the next couple of years, our families are going to increasingly fall under fire.\u00a0 Before I get to the first five of my \u201cTen Urgent Steps for Families\u201d, I just need to turn to you, as a listener, and ask for your help.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou may know that this is our 20<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary for <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>.\u00a0 We\u2019ve been attempting to bring you timeless truths of Scripture in practical ways for your marriage, your family, and your relationships.\u00a0 That\u2019s why we\u2019re here.\u00a0 We\u2019re here to help equip you with God\u2019s truth.\u00a0 If we\u2019ve helped you, then I\u2019d like to ask you if you\u2019d help us because we\u2019re facing right now a financial challenge, unlike really any other we\u2019ve ever faced.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOver the last, really, 12 months, for some reason, we\u2019ve seen a drop-off in donations by those folks who have kept this broadcast on the air over the years.\u00a0 As a result, we are having to take a hard look at what we\u2019re doing.\u00a0 The good news, though, is that a number of families have come together and have put together a matching challenge, here in December, of about $3.6 million.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat they\u2019re saying is\u2014they so believe in what FamilyLife is doing for your marriage, your family, and future generations\u2014that they want to match every dollar you give, up to the total of $3.6 million.\u00a0 Now, as a listener, you know that I hardly ever talk about asking you to make a donation, here on <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>; but we are a listener-supported broadcast.\u00a0 I want you to know, I\u2019m proud\u2014I\u2019m really proud that we\u2019re a listener-supported broadcast because you, as a listener, benefit. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou say, \u201cYes, I\u2019d like to vote with my donations to keep you on the air and to keep you coming on strong with biblical truth that equips, not only me and my family, but also equips millions of others.\u201d\u00a0 Here\u2019s what I\u2019d like to ask you to do.\u00a0 I need you to pick up a phone or to go online and make a donation today and help us take full advantage of all $3.6 million, here in the month of December, because we need your help and we need it now.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You can go online at FamilyLifeToday.com to make a yearend contribution to FamilyLife.\u00a0 Just click the button that says, \u201cI CARE\u201d, or you can call us, toll-free, at 1-800-FL-TODAY to make a donation over the phone.\u00a0 We do appreciate whatever you are able to do, and are grateful that you listen and grateful that
