“…the borrower is slave to the lender,” so it says in Proverbs. Paul Tudor Jones calls the paradox of U.S. debt and today’s mostly calm bond market an economic “kayfabe;” a pro-wrestling term. Those who know that the numbers aren’t sustainable conveniently suspend disbelief while the show continues. Ray Dalio gives America about three years to avert an economic heart attack. Jones and Dalio are amongst the best-known and successful investors in the world. Our nation’s debt has reached an astonishing level of $38 trillion ($350,000 per taxpayer), with last year’s interest payments totaling $1.124 trillion. With fiscal deficits as […]

Dr. Bob Barnes and Torrey Roberts: Are We Missing the Point of Christmas with Our Kids?

Imagine beings from outer space arriving on our planet the first week in December. They would have to choose one house to secretly observe and they select yours. From the first week in December until the twenty-fifth they watch a tremendous build-up for some kind of celebration called Christmas. This is a time when parents pass on something to their children. What would be the aliens’ take-away from your home? What would they report they saw you passing on to your children?  What is this celebration all about?   A gift giving frenzy For many church goers, the Christmas celebration […]

Dr. Rob Pacienza: What If Jesus Had Never Been Born?

This Christmas, with Christians reflecting on the significance of Jesus’ birth, I’m inspired by the question posed by the late D. James Kennedy thirty years ago: What if Jesus had never been born? It’s a fascinating exercise, where we unravel the threads of time and imagine how different the tapestry of history might look with just one thread missing.  It’s quite counterintuitive, of course, for a Christian to pose such a counterfactual question. So, humor me for a moment as we embark on a journey through an “altered history,” where Jesus’ absence creates a profound vacuum that affects the world […]

Stephan Tchividjian: Fire And Fur Coats

There’s an old Jewish phrase that has always spoken to me: tzaddik im peltz — “a righteous person in a fur coat.” On a cold night, you can warm yourself by wrapping up in fur, or you can warm others by lighting a fire. One choice is inward; the other is outward. One warms only you; the other creates room for others to draw near. As I look back on 2025, I’m reminded just how full a year can be. We’ve celebrated and we’ve cried. We’ve rested and we’ve hustled. Our travels have taken us two minutes down the road and […]

We’ve all been the recipients of beautifully wrapped gifts at Christmas, birthdays and other special occasions. Can you imagine someone giving you a gift that you never take the time to open? What good is a gift if it is left untouched and unopened? God has given every believer a gift from the Holy Spirit, but tragically, many of those gifts are unacknowledged, unopened and unused. It is time to recognize your own special gift, open it, and use it for God’s glory and for the benefit of His Church here on earth. These gifts from God are uniquely given […]

Andrew Holmes: The Most Sacred Table

Andrew Holmes, 4KIDS, Good News Media Group, December 2025

A season of anticipation Can you believe Christmas is almost here? We’ve walked together through the beauty of the table this year, first as a thin space, then as a place of giving and receiving, and most recently, a place where we wrestle with the ache of what’s missing. And now, in December, we arrive at the crescendo: the most sacred table. But before we get there, we must sit in something Advent invites us to consider: waiting. Not just waiting as in sitting still but anticipating. There’s a difference between the two. Waiting can be passive. Anticipation is active. […]

As we approach Christmas, Good News Wants to Know…what is one small tradition you’ve added to your holiday season that brings you unexpected joy? Outside of the young ones, the adults in our family dropped gifts to each other and instead donate to each other’s favorite nonprofits. It is joyful NOT to receive socks or ugly sweaters or anything and focus on giving. Robert Taylor, CEO, Burdette Beckmann Inc. (BBI) and Chairman, Habitat for Humanity of Broward My family chat just started, so we have added a great competitive UNO competition after Thanksgiving Dinner. It brings the best and the worst […]
