Remembering the Family Doctor

He focused on the family.
He dared to discipline.
He underscored what made our nation strong.
Through radio, his doctoring
helped heal sick marriages
prescribing antidotes to culture’s wrongs.

He diagnosed pornography
as a malignancy
that (if not treated) threatens healthy love.
This pro-life prophet stood up for
lost lives who lacked a voice,
those unborn babies known to God above.

His adventures were an odyssey
through magazines and books,
through videos, curriculum and more
that pastors, teachers, moms and dads
relied on to find help
to focus on what faith in God is for.

Though vilified and scandalized
by critics of his claims,
he bravely took a stand and held his ground.
Doc Dobson stood for what gives life
when all is said and done.
He based his views on where God’s truth is found.

I do not hold to all he held,
but hold Jim in my heart
as one who walked with Presidents and God.
This broadcasting psychologist
has left a legacy
both here within our country… and abroad.
