Vision Forum has some of the best resources for Christians and families. One of their newest is a DVD series called Reclaiming the Culture. The series includes seven new DVDs covering the following topics:
What is Biblical Femininity? In this powerful message, Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin seek to explain what biblical femininity is and what it is not. True femininity, they maintain, is not based on tradition, stereotypes, or romantic images from the past. It doesn’t matter how “girly” a girl’s clothes are or how good her manners are — if a lady’s heart is not devoted to putting biblical priorities first, she’s not practicing femininity as God designed it. Given at the Vision Forum Ministries’ Father & Daughter Retreat, this inspirational message provides hope and encouragement for ladies young and old.
Guerilla Apologetics for the Glory of God by Ray Comfort. Much of modern evangelism in America today is based on “feel-goodism” and trendy techniques that are contrary to Scripture. Consequently, the fruit of such efforts are minimal. While such outreach may lead to scores of “decisions,” true conversions are typically few and far between. The answer: we must evangelize as Jesus did by emphasizing that all unbelievers have broken God’s law — that “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
In this powerful message, Ray Comfort shares how Christians can effectively witness in the trenches by starting with the Ten Commandments during their Gospel presentation, showing unbelievers that they are enemies of God for breaking His standard and thus desperately in need of salvation. Ray also explains that God’s judgment is directly tied to lawbreaking — yet the lost can find hope through true repentance.
We Cannot But Speak. In this powerful message, evangelist Ray Comfort shares several simple yet incredibly practical biblical principles on how Christians can get on fire for God in their daily walk. He also explains how believers can endure hardness as a good soldier by using the weapons of warfare that God has given us in His Word.
Was the Jamestown Settlement founded for solely commercial purposes? Was the Plymouth Colony formed simply to establish religious liberty? For centuries, there have been tensions among historians about the legacies of these two early settlements, resulting in a geographical turf battle over which colony gave birth to the American ideal. Jamestown claims to be America’s birthplace. Plymouth claims to be America’s hometown. So how do we reconcile the two? In this illuminating message, Dr. Paul Jehle clarifies many misconceptions and demonstrates that while Jamestown and Plymouth had real differences, each had vital strengths that the other needed — and that, over time, God would providentially weave together these elements to form the greatest nation in the West.
The Promise: The Beauty and Power of the Fifth Commandment. In this foundational message, Doug Phillips, founder and director of Vision Forum, breaks down the issue of honor and addresses challenging issues such as: How do wise parents instill honor in their children? How should children respond to perverse authority in parents? In what ways are adult sons and daughters to honor their living parents? How does our culture promote dishonor? How can adult children restore honor to relationships that have long been tinged by dishonor? What are the consequences of dishonor? This talk has been shared with tens of thousands and has been a life-changing message for many.
Training Dominion-Oriented Daughters by Geoff Botkin. How do you teach a shy daughter to go outside of herself? What kind of toys should you give your girls? What examples of regal conduct should you put before them to emulate? Is it wise to foster romanticism or sentimentalism in your daughters? What sort of academic priorities should you set for your girls? What about hobbies?In this helpful talk, Geoff Botkin shares how he and his wife Victoria sought to answer these questions, offering a personal glimpse into how they have endeavored to wisely raise their daughters, Anna Sofia and Elizabeth, for dominion-oriented service for the kingdom of God. Geoff explains that even amidst perilous times daughters can be encouraged to look and smile at the future.
Foundational Elements of a Godly Estate. Every man leaves an estate, a legacy that represents his life and labors. A man’s estate may not have many physical assets, but it will have valuable spiritual assets or destructive spiritual liabilities.
In this illuminating talk, Geoff Botkin shares seven foundational elements that are essential to a well-appointed godly estate. He urges men and fathers to build providential estates for their families; to make provision for the future by investing their energy and resources into worthy endeavors that will bear much fruit over time.
