Stand on

How do YOU stand on the Gospel. Leave a comment below. As I write this, the United States Senate is deliberating one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation in my lifetime. If it becomes law, the outcome will be a full-frontal attack by federal authorities to remove any vestige of Biblical Christian faith from the public square. Labeled the Equality Act, this despicable bill is anything but that. Instead of equality, it could forever tip the scales of justice against the Judeo-Christian beliefs that have undergirded our nation — and most of Western civilization — for centuries. Christians, churches […]

Franklin Graham: The Voice of God Can Never Be Canceled

Leave a comment below on cancel culture. Madness is sweeping across our country.  I am referring to the ever-widening spread of what has been dubbed cancel culture, the suppression and intolerance of people whose viewpoints differ from what our godless society has deemed fitting and appropriate.  Not surprisingly, the overwhelmingly left-wing cancel culture has aimed its most vicious verbal darts squarely at Christians who hold a Biblical worldview founded on the authority of God’s uncompromising Word.  Let me give you just a few examples, though there are many.  In the city of Boston, a Chick-fil-A food truck serving the campus […]

Tom just died.  I spoke to Paul last night, Tom’s brother and my good friend for many years. A few months ago, Paul let me know that Tom was in a losing battle against cancer. Although his passing was expected, it was hardly welcome. Paul lost his brother, his sister Barb is weeping, and their youngest brother David is hurting. Tom’s son heads up the COVID wing at a major hospital in California. Paul recounted his stories about the agony of seeing so many die this past year, separated from family yet with faithful nurses and doctors gathered around.  All […]

Corporate Prayer: Worth The Investment

For a few hours every year, the daily work of OneHope’s ministry comes to an abrupt halt. An intentional pause and recalibration. The OneHope team participates in corporate times of prayer. Although these gatherings cost thousands of dollars in manpower, they are undoubtedly worth the return on investment.  We meet to publicly glorify God and acknowledge His Lordship. This cultivates humility in our hearts and redirects us back to the Lord we serve and the mission He has given us.  The OneHope team works across many time zones and in an array of different ministry contexts. Prayer unifies us. We […]

Crumbs

There is a saying we have all heard: “Is the glass half full or half empty?” The beauty of that saying is that it hinges on perspective. The essence of the word picture is that a glass, filled halfway with water, can be perceived as almost full or almost empty. There are times in my life that I see things from both perspectives. Half empty triggers in me a sense of scarcity, implying that things will get progressively more challenging with less available resources. Half full triggers a sense of abundance, implying that things will get progressively better because resources […]

The Gospel “Newness” In A New Command

This month, I wanted to build upon the last week of our Lord’s ministry on earth with the following special apologetic message. I pray you will be blessed and built up in your faith if you are already a Christian, and if you are not, that God would use these words to cause you to believe and become part of His family of faith. On the eve of the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ, while sharing His last Passover with His disciples, Jesus gives “A New Command” –  “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I […]

Who Do We Seek For Justice?

“I believe in America.” These words begin a 175-minute saga that is considered one of the greatest movies ever produced. Amerigo Bonasera was a Sicilian-American and the proprietor of a funeral home in Little Italy besides being an acquaintance of Vito Corleone, whose wife Carmela was the godmother of Amerigo’s only child, Maria. Despite this bond, the mortician decided to keep some distance from the Godfather for fear that a Mafia connection would be detrimental to his business. Things suddenly changed when Maria was brutally assaulted and nearly raped by two young men. They were subsequently released on a suspended […]

The Significance of Passover and the Passover Meal (Seder) for Believers Today

What we refer to as “The Last Supper” – which is commemorated every time we take communion – was in reality a Passover Seder, a meal that Yeshua (Jesus) and his disciples would have celebrated their entire lives. However, it was at that particular Seder that Yeshua chose to give the REAL significance to this meal and holiday. The holiday of Passover (really three feasts in one — The Feast of Passover, The Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the Feast of Firstfruits) had been created and observed as a commemoration of God’s miraculous deliverance of the Jewish people from the […]

“Behold! I Make All Things New”

Go with me back in time. It is 6:17 in the morning, April 6th, the 17th year of Tiberius Caesar. It is a few moments before sunrise. We are in a dark place, somewhere in Judea, a troubled province of the Roman Empire. There is a sudden movement of the earth beneath our feet. We brace ourselves in the darkness. It is an earthquake! Unable to see anything in the darkness, suddenly we hear the low, grinding sound of a heavy stone door being rolled away. Bright light intermittently enters the dark chamber where we find ourselves. The stone comes […]

In Women’s History Month, Look Back Gratefully But Also Look Around

As I peruse the fascinating resources collected for Women’s History Month, I thank God for the suffragists and other pioneers in our land of opportunity, a land where opportunity hasn’t always abounded for all. But as I look back with gratitude, I also look around me to see many women today who inspire us by using the gifts God gave them: serving and leading, untethered by the stereotypes and expectations of culture. Consider some of the encouraging ladies we see within the Palm Beach Atlantic community.  Best Women at PBA Among many key female leaders at PBA, here are two […]
