12 Reasons for the Permanence of Marriage

Our Price:$6.97CAD »More info... » »Add to Wish List

There are few issues any more important to the home, as well as human life in general, than the issue of marriage itself. What is marriage? How is a marriage established? How “permanent” is marriage? What are “grounds” for divorce? If someone has divorced and remarried are they truly married? How bad is divorce? What should people do who see a loved one or friend in a “bad marriage?” Should those who believe that divorce is permissible defend their position? Dr. Davis answers these and many other questions in this 59-minute video, enhanced with over 150 graphics including pictures of Dr. Davis' 1969 wedding. This also includes the delightful story (with pictures!) of an 85 year old couple who had divorced twice and were remarried after meeting again in a nursing home! Every church and family in America would do well to hear the truths in this message. (59 minutes)

3 Key Elements for Successful Parenting

Our Price:$6.97CAD »More info... » »Add to Wish List

Though there may be some exceptions, generally speaking, if a child chooses evil as an adult, it is probably because his parents failed in some way to properly train him as a child. There are 3 key elements in successful parenting that work together to help parents produce wise, godly children. These may also be called "The ABC's of Successful Parenting." A - Always win in training the child to obey. The parent, not the child, must be the winner in every contest of wills. A teenage rebel is often the product of a child who was not made to obey. B - Be gentle. Firmness must be balanced with gentleness or it easily becomes harshness. David said "Thy gentleness hath made me great." Greatness in a child is produced by gentleness in his parents. C - Consistently be consistent. Parents must not "start and stop." They must stand together so that children know it is not possible to "pit one against the other."

Anger the Destroyer

Our Price:$6.97CAD »More info... » »Add to Wish List

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus pointed out that anger leads to murder. Probably the #1 thing that is killing spiritually the children in Bible believing homes and churches is the anger of one or both of the parents. Anger also destroys the oneness between a husband and wife. Many parents think their wrath is justified by their children's disobedience and rebellion. It is more likely that the rebellion is caused by the anger and escalates it. Your anger isn't caused by what is outside you; it is caused by what is happening inside you. Anger usually comes from either pride or tension from unresolved guilt. God describes anger as: (1) A city without walls (2) An unbearable load (3) A flood (4) A poisonous snake and (5) A fire-breathing dragon. Here are seven key thoughts to stop "Anger the Destroyer."

Are You a Giver or a Taker?

Our Price:$6.97CAD »More info... » »Add to Wish List

Giving and taking tends to be more than an activity of life. Everyone chooses whether he or she will be a giver or a taker as an attribute of life. Untrained children tend to be takers instead of givers. The problem with takers is that they take until they take away the very relationship that is keeping them alive. Takers often wind up lonely and dont understand why. Takers are seldom truly happy or grateful. Of the 10 lepers that were healed by Jesus only one returned to give thanks. Why? They had spent their lives as takers and knew nothing else. Takers have a focus that is an un-biblical life focus that perverts their thinking into a way of thinking that is honestly dangerous. Haman had virtually unlimited power, money, and possessions, yet he was unhappy because he couldn't have one other thing he really wanted. He wound up hanging from his own gallows. This important message is a challenge to youth and their parents to know the joy that comes from being a giver instead of a taker...

Bible Pictures of Godly Children

Our Price:$6.97CAD »More info... » »Add to Wish List

Word pictures are powerful vehicles to communicate truth. God didn't just tell us when and how to teach our children.. God also painted several pictures for us of Godly children so we would know what to expect. To have sons as "plants grown up in their youth" requires insisting on a maturity that knows and accepts obedience, responsibility, and respectfulness. "Polished corner stones" refers to daughters who are prominent with the unusual beauty and brightness of holiness. Their countenance radiates with the light of God. "Arrows in the hand of a mighty man" is a picture of parents with a vision of purpose for their children. A soldier's life was at stake each time he strung his bow. Each arrow had to be perfectly carved and balanced so it would fly unerringly into the enemy's stronghold to do damage to the enemy's forces. "Like olive plants" powerfully portrays Godly generational succession. (62 minutes)

Bible Teachings About the Bride Price (9 of 10)

Our Price:$6.97CAD »More info... » »Add to Wish List

This is a timeless message that may help correct whatever wrong custom is being followed to get to the marriage altar in any country in the world. The use of central Bible truth shows that some countries have moved to the left of God's plan while others have departed to the right. The Bride Price was the first and foremost of three different earthly gifts that are related to marriage. It also intricately ties in with the way God views human life. God's viewpoint is that people are either "not betrothed," "betrothed," or "married." The Bride Price may be a material gift, but is primarily the self-sacrifice of the young man. Paying this price accomplishes several things for both the young man, his betrothed, and their families. The primary thing it does, however, is to give to the bride-to-be a feeling of great worth. "Thank you for the tape about the BRIDE PRICE. I have often read books that were so good that I couldn't put them down. This is the first time that I have listened to a tap...

Breaking Family Curses

Our Price:$6.97CAD »More info... » »Add to Wish List

Exodus 34:7 teaches that there will be a propensity toward either righteousness or sin being passed down from generation to generation. In different areas of life, people are blessed and do well because of Godly family influences. In other areas they struggle because of evil family influences. Chains of bitterness, dishonesty, selfishness, pride, divorce, immorality, laziness, or rebellion pass down from grandfather to father to son to grandson, etc. Loyalty, faithfulness, kindness, honesty, joy, character, etc. also pass down! King Asa saw a curse of bitterness, stubbornness, rebellion, and idolatry in his family lineage and took desperate steps to break the curse and begin a lineage of blessings! "We shared your video with our family and our parents over Christmas and they were thrilled. Afterward, we knelt around the coffee table and Grandpa prayed for curses to stop and for God to bless our families. Tears of great joy filled our lives!" (59 minutes)

Changing the Heart of a Rebel

Our Price:$6.97CAD »More info... » »Add to Wish List

NO, REBELLION IS NOT NORMAL. YES, THERE IS A SOLUTION! Many testimonies from around the world attest to the effectiveness of the Biblical principles expounded in this message. Parents of younger children say that the message has helped them understand parenting so as to prevent problems with their children. Some parents say they listen to the message every few weeks to help them stay "on track" as a parent. Still other parents have found the message to be the "lifeline" to stop a descent into destruction and save the life and future of their rebellious teen. "Your video, 'Changing the Heart of a Rebel' did just that for our son! I only regret we didn't hear it while he was in his early teens so we could have prevented the whole thing!" -- TN Mother (64 minutes)

Christ - The Husband's Example

Our Price:$6.97CAD »More info... » »Add to Wish List

Because of the need all of us have for examples, God wisely chose to give husbands an example so they would know their responsibilities in relation to their wives. Interestingly, God's choice for an example in this area was never an earthly husband Himself! In Eph. 5 God clearly declared that Christ would be the husband's example. In other words, husbands should assume the same role in relation to their wives that Christ has assumed in relation to His church. There is a very clear comparison here. The Husband is to be like Christ. The Wife is to be like the Church. This also means that the husband bears the greater responsibility in God's sight for the success of the relationship. The husband should be like Christ in the: Price He paid and continues to pay for His bride. Potential He develops in His bride. Patience He shows toward His bride. Promise He keeps in relation to His bride. (60 minutes)

Conquering Satan's Strongholds

Our Price:$6.97CAD »More info... » »Add to Wish List

Rev. 12:9 says, "the Devil ... was cast out into the earth, and his angels with him." But Satan and his demons do not simply "float around." They look for a "place" to live. Eph. 4:27 commands you and me as Christians to not give "place" to the devil. That Greek word is often translated "room." Paul was saying, "Don't give Satan a room - an area of control - a foothold - ground - in your life." Usually, when Satan gets a room in a person's life, he does it without them even knowing it! He doesn't come in because you invite him. He slips in the back door. How do Satan or his demons come in? Through anger, bitterness, strife, unforgiveness, ungratefulness, jealousy, rebellion, disobedience, rock music, pride, etc. This message has a powerful demonstration and illustration of how Satan takes a "little ground" in a person's life and turns it into a stronghold! The hope of deliverance is also demonstrated. (74 min.)

Detailed Instructions to Help Parents with Rebels

Our Price:$17.97CAD »More info... » »Add to Wish List

This is probably the most personal of all the Dr. Davis videos. Since the message "Changing the Heart of a Rebel" was released in 1994, many parents have sought counsel from him and his tape secretary daughter concerning how to implement the principles given in the "Rebel" message. On this video, Dr. Davis sat down in a chair, looked at the camera, and personally spoke for nearly an hour about the exact steps parents should follow to help turn around rebellious teens. This message gives practical advice concerning how to implement Bible principles in relation to turning around rebellious teens. This may also be Dr. Davis' most urgent and compelling call to parents challenging them to "pay the price" to reach rebellious youth. (Video only)
