Summary

Every generation seems to bring with it greater change and more division within our society. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer interviews Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. Tony shares that now is the time for Christians to stand firm in our faith as the enemy seeks to separate us from our source of strength, the Word of God. Ephesians 6:12 says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
