Dr. Tommy Boland: A Godly Mother’s Greatest Goal

This is the month when we honor motherhood, so I thought it would be a good idea to use a passage from sacred Scripture to set forth a godly mother’s greatest goal. “The mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. ‘What is it you want?’ he asked. She said, ‘Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom’” (Matthew 20:20-21). “Zebedee’s sons” were James and John, who, along with Peter, made up the inner circle […]

The bloodshed has led to a humanitarian crisis with more than 3 million refugees fleeing into Poland, Moldova, Romania and other European countries. More than 2 million others have been displaced within Ukraine. We have been responding in the Name of Jesus Christ. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has been on the […]

Good News Wants to Know… – Music

There are many music genres to choose from, Good News Wants to Know… What artist or band do you always recommend when someone asks for a music recommendation? Is there a particular song? I love all kinds of worship music, and I believe that it is important to create an atmosphere in our homes, in our churches and in our personal prayer times where we are worshiping him on a daily basis. Music is so powerful and can shift an atmosphere of fear to faith, self-focused to God-focused and anxiety to peace. In this season, I recognize I need a really good dose […]

As a kid, I remember perhaps being in third or fourth grade, and my daily ritual was to go to school and then after school in Detroit, I would walk to Hebrew school. (In Miami Beach I would also walk to the synagogue, and it was across the street from my school. There were basketball courts in the park between the two schools, and I honestly can’t remember if I […]
