Rob Hoskins: Higher Education And Its Role In Higher Calling

In a culture that values success and status, it’s not surprising when people are willing to pay to keep up appearances. A Higher Calling I’m glad we don’t have to play that game. Jesus, our ultimate example, did the complete opposite of those who try to achieve – bigger, better, bragging rights. He became less to do more. I’m excited to be a part of a movement that’s been working for years to flip culture’s thinking about what success looks like and a higher calling than higher ed alone.   Thinking differently about education Gen Z is heading to college, […]

Stanley Goldenberg: Faith-Based Films Are Returning to Theaters

The last major faith-based film in theaters was “I Still Believe,” an Erwin Brothers production about the inspiring true love story of Christian singer/song-writer Jeremy Camp and his wife Melissa – a story demonstrating hope in the midst of life’s storms. Sadly, less than two weeks after it opened in March 2020, the COVID-driven lockdowns began and most movie theaters shut down. Of course this and other previous releases are now available via streaming, DVD and for licensed Church showings. Thankfully, in many areas most movie theaters have been opening again, and starting this September we will once again see […]

Les Feldman: We Pray Out Loud

(Scroll down to leave a comment on how you pray out loud) Those of us at the Good News are tasked to bring the word of God in the most upbeat and encouraging manner we can, so we pray out loud through our pages. I try and guide the effort by engaging our community to grow the kingdom and go beyond simply preaching to the choir already in place. I have been questioned is that our role or to just stay the course? Well, if you believe the messaging, why wouldn’t you want to actively reach the unsaved by perhaps […]

Franklin Graham: Standing Strong for Christ

(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 […]

Good News Wants to Know… – Cuba

As people seek freedom from the communist regime in Cuba, the uprising is impacting all of us as many in Cuba are without food and starving. Here in South Florida we see public demonstrations, and we all have friends, family or co-workers with roots in Cuba. Good News Wants to Know…  What are your feelings and how is this situation personally impacting you? I was born in Caracas, Venezuela, which has become socialist/communist under Chavez and Maduro. We have family and friends that live there still, and we have friends who came from Cuba and lost everything when they had […]

Out kick your coverage?

I’m about to unfold a story that has a few main characters in my life that intertwined and provided a mentorship to me. The first scene takes place in the late ‘70’s when I was in my twenties and was welcomed to join the adults, and in this case the adults were about 30 years my senior. Oddly enough we were all contemporaries in business. We looked the same and dressed the same; such is the life among those in the “industry.”   About 20 years ago I attended the funeral of my longtime friend “Hank,” who introduced me to […]

My God Story

My journey starts with accepting Jesus Christ into my heart on March 17, 2011. Truth be told, I wasn’t yet there with the “Lord and Savior” part. The challenge was getting traction because simply put it took years and years to even get to that starting point. I’m an all-in kinda guy, and I didn’t yet know what “in” was, but I was sure for the first time in my life it would require help beyond my reach. I mention “traction” because the Bible book itself is not set sequentially; I operate by progression much like a builder lays the […]

Zach Reynolds: Abiding And Surrender

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; […]

Omar Aleman: Seeking Spiritual Diversity

Opposites attract when dealing with magnets. It is not that simple with humans. There are many stories of individuals who shared little in common and yet thrived when connected; much has also been written when the opposite occurred. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in the entertainment business and Bill and Melinda Gates in technology fit the bill in the latter case, while Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf in sports and the “Ragin Cajun” (James Carville) and Mary Matalin in politics have overcome their differences to enjoy long lasting relationships. Putting the secular aside, what does the Bible say about opposite […]
