Since the Church has often remained silent on the topics of sex and intimacy over the years, this has led to a distortion of God’s purpose in these areas of our lives. Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale will be discussing “Sex and Intimacy: Do You Have the Right Perspective?”during two special events in September.  On Friday, September 16 from 6 – 10 p.m., men are invited to hear some straight talk about sex and intimacy from Frank Ramseur, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Chattanooga. The women will meet on Saturday, September 17 from 7:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. to hear from […]

“Jesus” kept his distance as he walked into a press conference on the 18th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. “I won’t get too close because I have a cold,” he said with a smile, as he slipped into a padded chair and sipped a bit of tea. “Jesus” is actually Rodrigo Santoro, the Brazilian actor who plays the Savior in “Ben-Hur,” the excellent new action adventure movie released widely on August 19 by Metro-Goldwin-Mayer Pictures and Paramount Pictures. Santoro and Jack Huston, who plays the title role in the $100-million blockbuster, sat side-by-side at a Miami media conference. The […]

Which job should I take? What car should I buy? Should I do this…or…not? Is this the right person for me…to marry? Should I go to college and earn a degree? And, which college is best for me? “Ahhh! What do ‘You’ want me to do Oh God? “   Jeremiah was an Old Testament prophet familiar with hearing God’s voice, who asked for His guidance. It might be helpful to consider including his words in a prayer for God’s direction in life as well. “O Lord, I know it is not within the power of man to map his […]

Jesus referred to his disciples as sheep in John 10. Like sheep, we as are easily led astray if we do not recognize the voice of our shepherd. Jesus said in verse 14 that he is the good shepherd who knows his sheep and whose sheep know him. However, it can be confusing when there are so many voices demanding our attention. We most commonly hear the voices of God, our enemy, ourselves and others. Therefore, not every voice is from God. We have to distinguish between truth and error. The only way to know truth, our shepherd’s voice, is […]

75,400,000 — That’s quite a significant number. It represents the total population of millennials — those people born between 1983 and 2000s — dubbed “the smartphone generation.” The largest generation in the United States, this population is certainly different from any other, as they are digital natives. They witnessed the explosive growth of the Internet and were brought up completely immersed in it. It is what shaped their always connected, tech savvy and digitally infused lifestyles. Now parents are frustrated with the smartphone generation, as they cannot come to terms with today’s 24/7 digital world and their kids’ obsession with […]

Terrorists bomb airports in Paris, Brussels and Turkey. A gay dance club in Orlando is attacked by a terrorist gunman. Black men shot and killed in traffic stops, police racism alleged. Police ambushed and killed in Dallas by a gunman who wanted to “kill some white people.” These are just a few recent news events that make us feel the world and our country are in trouble. Many are asking why and what can we do? There is a lot of finger pointing, anger and political agendas seeking to profit from the carnage. But how should Christians react to all […]

Factors Impacting Rising Stress Levels

“God does not give you more to do in one day than you can achieve.” I recently heard this quote and have to confess that there are times when I am guilty of adding far more to my schedule than my regular daily responsibilities and the marching orders God gives me in the morning. Overloading can quickly result in a stressful day, and instead of enjoying the 24 hours provided, I can find myself under pressure and missing out on the simple joys of life. Stress is defined as “a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from […]

Benevolence and Justice

How do you respond when you see the person walking the street between waiting cars with his sign stating: Will work for food… but he is seeking handouts? What are your thoughts towards the single mom or widow who comes to church to ask for financial aid? In Thessalonians 3:10 the early apostles did not want to be a burden to anyone, and they gave this rule: “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.” But Matthew 5:42 tells us to “Give to anyone who asks you, and do not turn away.” Finally we have heard: “Don’t throw […]
