Have you ever felt so passionate about a subject or cause that you felt you had to stand up and fight – that you could no longer be silent? One prominent figure who felt strong convictions and displayed his passion publicly for injustices that were taking place in our world was Martin Luther King. While it is apparent that King wasn’t afraid to take a stand for what he believed in, can we say the same about ourselves? Whatever the subject matter, everyone gravitates towards some type of cause – something that stirs passion within their hearts. One such matter […]

Can God heal the homosexual? What does the Bible have to say about homosexuality? Are gays “born that way”? What can gay men and women do who want to get out of the lifestyle?

Christian comedian Brad Stine, dubbed “God’s Comic” by New Yorker magazine, will be making a pit stop in Fort Lauderdale on October 14 to share his comedic talents with South Floridians. Featured in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal (just to name a few) and on numerous shows including HBO, Glenn Beck and Comedy Central, Stine describes his comedy routine as a “mission” – one that will help free people from the bondage of political correctness and prevent our society from what he calls inevitable “wussification.” The shaggy blonde-haired Stine, who bears an odd resemblance to Denis Leary, […]

This month at The Good News our theme is Redemption and I immediately thought about the blood of Jesus. How is it that we can be saved from all of our sins by having them washed away by blood? And what was the high price paid for our redemption? Ephesians 1:7 says, “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.” We were purchased with a great price when our Lord Jesus shed His blood for us, and now […]

Lately, News has been swirling about certain American government officials trying to serve up yet another land for peace deal between the Palestinians and Israelis. Capturing the world’s attention, this concept has been an ongoing process for years and will probably continue until Israel cedes to all of the conditions. During the Camp David Accords in 1978, Menachem Begin, the sixth Israeli Prime Minister, met with Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat at the White House, along with American President Jimmy Carter. After much negotiation, a Peace Treaty was signed between Israel and Egypt with numerous main objectives: Israel ceding the […]

Happiness is a Choice

There are times in every marriage when “wedded bliss” seems to have flown out of the proverbial window. Events take place that can change the course of your very life: losing a job or house, coping with illness, having children, etc. Living with your spouse over a span of time will expose every flaw that you and they have. Sometimes, we look back in retrospect and wonder, “What was I thinking?” At times you or your spouse may wonder why you both are not happy. You may look back to the days when you were single and remember all the […]
