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 […]

In honor of Mother’s Day, Good News Wants to Know… What is something your mother did or said that had a lasting impact on you? Mom was so faithful about reading the Bible together as a family (“you can eat real food – so therefore you have time for spiritual food”) and about designating Sundays as a sabbath rest (a time to spend with the Lord and not work). I’m really grateful to have grown up with rhythms of resting and scripture as they’ve formed the way I live and work as an adult even now!  Amanda Forman, Lead Business Designer, Zone […]

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 […]

A year after stay-at-home orders shut down entire communities in an effort to stem the spread of COVID-19, churches in parts of the nation are still fighting to open. Yet Florida churches have mostly remained open, online and in person, thanks to the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis. Early on DeSantis declared “attending religious services conducted in churches, synagogues and houses of worship” as essential activity, a move that superseded county and municipal ordinances, raising the ire of some local officials. His office held state-wide Zoom calls with church leaders through his Faith and Community-based Initiative providing guidance during the […]
