Leslie J. Feldman: A Conversation with Jesus Via AI

Like many of you out there, I’m fascinated by artificial intelligence (AI) because my mind wanders constantly; no matter what I hear, no matter what I think about, scenarios run rampant in my mind with a series of what ifs and how comes? I have an insatiable desire to wanna know things. I playfully suggest I’ve got an endless supply of useless information that somehow crystallizes through a series of song titles in search of divinity and deep meaning. With much puzzlement about the actual Bible in all of its offerings, summarized by acronyms, NIV, NKJV, etc., I can’t help […]

Omar Aleman: Ditch the Flesh – Pitch the Spirit

A couple of days ago, Colby asked me at the gym to review his newly completed term paper for content, spelling and grammar. Besides being a close acquaintance, this young man is a very dedicated and hard-working individual, so I paused my workout and began to check the 10-page essay focusing on the Chinese dynasties. The read was rather boring but well thought out and constructed in a proper fashion. What intrigued me, however, was the purpose of the exercise. This young man is paying substantial amounts of money to a learning institution in hopes of preparing him for future […]

Stephan Tchividjian: Sell Fish

I can imagine that if you had met one of the interns of Jesus before they were officially following Him and asked, “What is the purpose of your life?” they might have answered, “Sell fish.” Many people living 2,000 years ago made their living growing crops, raising livestock, building and repairing structures or selling fish. I imagine the vocation of selling fish — especially along the shore of a lake — was fairly stable and even lucrative. Like any profession, it carried its share of hardship, competition and long hours. Then one day, Jesus comes walking along the shoreline and […]

Dr. O.S. Hawkins: A New Beginning

My father’s family moved to Texas from Tennessee back in the 1800s. When I was a boy, we would make our annual summer road trip back to the Volunteer State to visit, among others, my great-aunt Ann. I loved those long car trips in the days before interstate highways. I can still remember the excitement I felt when we passed a barn that had “Visit Rock City” painted on its roof or the fun of reading the old Burma Shave signs along the way. We’d stay in her house, and I slept on an iron bed with a feather mattress. […]

Dr. Debra A. Schwinn: Reimagining New Year’s Resolutions

Setting and following resolutions, especially at the start of the New Year, is not easy. Often, we fall back into old routines, feel discouraged about those failures, and give up the goals altogether. In this article, Dr. Phil Henry, Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA) professor of counseling and licensed mental health counselor, shares how eliminating hangups and embracing godly choices and new seasons can help us all reach — and stick to — our goals. When it comes to resolutions, we are notoriously bad. According to Forbes Health, New Year’s resolutions only last two to four months before people give […]

Jerry Newcombe: A Great Goal for the New Year

With a new year upon us, when we consider new goals for the next 12 months, here’s a worthy ambition to pursue – to get closer to Christ. That resolution would put you in the company of a good number of America’s founders.  When the great founding father Patrick Henry was dying, in his last Will and Testament, he wrote to his children, “This is all the Inheritance I can give to my dear family, The religion of Christ can give them one which will make them rich indeed.”  The man who once declared, “Give me liberty or give me […]

Franklin Graham: Jesus Christ: King of Kings and Lord of Lords

As I write this, I have just returned from preaching the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where nearly 7,000 people surrendered their lives to the Lord, confessing their sins and trusting in Christ alone as their Savior. After all these years when God has given us wonderful opportunities to proclaim Christ crucified, buried and risen, I am still amazed at the ways the same Gospel message affects different hearers. When I give the invitation to receive Christ and look out over the crowd, I see some people with tears streaming down their faces as they […]
