A prominent friend and supporter of James Dobson believes Dobson was
pushed aside by the new leadership of Focus on the Family, who want the
powerhouse evangelical ministry to project a softer image on issues
ranging from abortion to gay marriage to relations with President Obama.
Dobson founded Focus on the Family in 1977 and spent the next 25 years building it into the influential Christian conservative group it is today.
In February 2009, Dobson stepped down as chairman of the Colorado Springs-based group's board of directors, after relinquishing his longtime role as president in 2003. But he kept his role of host of the popular Focus radio show, which is reportedly heard by 1.5 million Americans each day.
Then, this past November, Dobson said on the show that the Focus board had asked him to give up the radio program in a few months time. Late last month, he delivered his final Focus broadcast.
In little-noticed comments from the November show, Dobson seemed troubled by the board's decision to ask him to give up the program.

I'm not surprised at all. Satan is on the rampage like never before. People are letting go and letting Satan have his way. This is just a sign of the end times. Christians, look up. Christ lives within you. Soon you will see Him face to face!! What a glorious day that will be!! All the evil in the world will be a thing of the past. God's Word(Chirst)lives on forever.
James Dobson did what God called him to do...Proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. I thank God for the time He gave Mr. Dobson to do just that.
