(Comment below on what it takes to be standing strong for Christ.) In this day when the immoral pressures of our decadent culture are growing stronger and more belligerent by the moment, it’s encouraging to see those who are standing strong in Christ. That’s certainly true in the field of higher education, where the new administration in Washington is doing all it can to reverse policies put in place under President Trump to protect Christian schools grounded in Biblical convictions. The extraordinary push by the brazen LGBTQ lobby with the backing of the current administration (especially Health and Human Services […]

Why Are Boundaries Important?

This last month our family spent some time in North Carolina. We love many things about being in the mountains: the fresh air, the trees, the rivers and creeks, and hiking. We usually spend several days exploring trails that lead us to amazing finds like gorgeous mountain tops and waterfalls. My two, like their dad, are explorers at heart. They spend hours by the creek where we stay finding salamanders, building forts and observing other wildlife. They love to wander “off the beaten path.” As we were hiking through a nearby national forest, I started noticing signs. “Please stay on […]

(Scroll down to leave a comment) Just a little over three years ago I had the privilege of starting a relationship with a seasoned, kind, loving and selfless pastor. I can remember it like it was yesterday. I reached out to him via Facebook messenger, and he was quick to reply back with his cell phone number. We set up a lunch date at Grand Lux Café in Aventura Miami. After we sat and talked for four hours, what started next would be the beginning of a beautiful Spiritual father and son relationship. Over the course of the next few […]

Collective Impact for the Gospel

collective impact

Churches of our region face a complex problem: no single church, denomination, key leader or organization can change the spiritual climate of South Florida alone. The lostness of our region is too great, the brokenness is too complex and the pain too deep for even the largest, most resourced churches, networks or denominations to tackle. And, perhaps it was meant to be this way. We need one another. We were designed to link arms — to view each other as essential co-laborers rather than in competition with one another. However without a model and framework for impact, our collaborative efforts […]

The Good News provides a monthly column with important content having to do with topical subjects from the legal community. We hope our readers enjoy the perspective offered. This month’s legal opinion is provided by Ed Pozzuoli, Esq., CEO of Tripp Scott, PA.   Ask Bill: Why do proponents of school choice think it is a better approach?   Pozzuoli: First of all, choice is about freedom, which is a good, energizing, invigorating force in and of itself. We’ve seen its dynamism unleashed across our economy in a range of industries. But it’s especially precious in the educational environment. Parents […]

2021

Kudos to the Class of 2021! Having completed their senior year in the midst of a global pandemic, they will walk across the stage to receive their diplomas and step into a culture evolving at breakneck speed. This class has demonstrated “dedication, determination, flexibility and resolve. They maintained amazing attitudes, did not complain and worked hard to make this a meaningful year,” said Dr. Ron Farrar, Upper School Principal at Westminster Academy. AS CDC Guidelines changed throughout the year, “We had to adapt to teaching students on campus and online simultaneously,” explained Christy Chipman, Upper School Principal at Sheridan Hills […]

The Pace of Grace

Each season (winter, spring, summer, fall) has a brief window that we look forward to. It’s appreciated, and then at some point we arrive at a place that we are thankful for the next season to come along. For me it’s summer leading into fall. There is something about those dog days of summer that can seem grueling here in the tropics. But when the first whiff of cool air comes or the humidity drops as you exit your house that first morning of fall, you sense a change of seasons. Oh, how good it is! Whatever your preference, the […]

Franklin Graham: God’s Word Is Always True

Two years ago, we held an evangelistic Crusade in the seaside town of Blackpool, England. Nine thousand people came to hear us proclaim the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hundreds made confessions of faith! This was in spite of intense opposition from the LGBTQ community, which objected to the advertising message on public transportation buses. The ads simply said “Time for Hope.” The gay activists were successful at the time in pressuring officials to remove our ads from the sides of the buses. However, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association coordinated with the Lancashire Festival trustees to take the matter […]

What Are You Afraid Of?

When someone asks me what I’m afraid of, the song “Spiders and Snakes” by Jim Stafford always comes to mind. I can hear the tune and sing the lyrics of a boy walking a girl home named Mary Lou. They stop at a water hole, and as typical of a young boy, he picks up a frog and shakes it at her. She responds with “I don’t like spiders and snakes and that ain’t what it takes to love me. I wanna be loved by you.” Everyone has a fear of something. I’m afraid of spiders, snakes and heights. As […]
