He-Brews Specialty Coffee: Hip and Holy Grounds

Russ Perreault, owner of He-Brews Specialty Coffee in Coral Springs, has unleashed a passion for Christ, and his leaps of faith energize you in a way that no mere jolt of espresso can do. Though not a church, this café does feel Spirit-filled while infusing a welcoming, hip vibe:  a perfect blend. (Yep, coffee-related puns along the way. You’ve bean forewarned.) Walking into the newly opened coffeehouse, you may feel it’s a bit bare with its warehouse/industrial décor and open space. You definitely would not think anything churchy would be happening here.  But in looking closer, there is a great […]

Sugar’s Sweet Deception

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the mountainous health advice we receive every day? It sometimes seems as if everything is going to send us to an early grave. The sad truth is that our food chain is contaminated, and perhaps one of the most destructive and harmful substances to the human body is sugar. Sugar is considered by many to be more damaging than alcohol or tobacco, and yet we allow our children to consume it on a daily basis. Sugar has been found to be more addicting than cocaine and heroin. Our bodies do their best to metabolize […]

Celebrating the Kingdom of God Through the Feasts

Of all the various feasts in the Bible, three are known as the great “pilgrimage” feasts because the men of Israel were required to travel to Jerusalem in order to observe them. First is Passover or Pesach, then Pentecost or Shavuot and lastly the Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot. All three feasts celebrate some aspect of the kingdom of God. Passover is the door to the kingdom because you only get into this kingdom by the shedding of blood. Pentecost is the power of the kingdom because it celebrates the coming of the Spirit of God. And last, the Feast […]

What’s On Your Produce Impacts Your Health

  Sadly we are all, at one time or another, affected by friends or family battling or succumbing to cancer. In 2008 cancer was the leading cause of death worldwide with 12.7 million new cases and 7.6 million deaths. The National Cancer Institute states that only 5 to 10 percent of cancers are caused by genetic gene mutation with environmental and dietary factors playing a large role. Believers in Christ should not be afraid of dying, but with cancer rates and the cost of medical care rising, it makes sense to take steps to protect our health with some preventative […]

Fasting for Body, Soul and Spirit

  It goes against the grain for the average American to deny himself anything, let alone food. As a self-confessed chocoholic, fasting to aid in healing my Lyme disease induced arthritis was never my first option. When the side effects of conventional medications became unbearable, a nutritionist opened my eyes to the dismal state of our food chain. Pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, dyes and preservatives, all contribute towards the toxicity that our bodies have to fight on a daily basis. By taking these out of the picture and shutting down my digestive system, I diverted the energy used in digestion to […]

Love Letters

  Are you struggling with a child? Fighting? Every communication is just another botched attempt at reaching their heart or accurately portraying your love? Are they rolling their eyes when they see you coming, stiffening their stance, while in your heart you’re screaming, “Listen to me! I love you!” When every word you say seems to fail you, when every utterance becomes an argument, keep trying. Don’t give up. But maybe also give this method a try: Write letters. Notes. Anything, even if it’s just a drawing. Buy a pack of 100 blank cards and envelopes and write something every […]
