As Hurricane Melissa left a trail of devastation across the Caribbean, faith-based organizations have launched large-scale relief efforts to bring emergency aid and long-term recovery to hard-hit communities. The Category 5 hurricane struck Jamaica with sustained winds of 185 mph — the strongest landfall in the island’s history — before tearing across Cuba and the Bahamas. AccuWeather estimates total damage and economic losses between $48 billion and $52 billion, warning that “the recovery could take a decade or longer” due to flooding, mudslides, and widespread infrastructure destruction In response, Samaritan’s Purse, a global Christian humanitarian aid organization known for rapid […]

The Constitution is one of the most important elements of our nation’s independence. It is the foundation for maintaining a strong, central democracy and ensuring each person has the opportunity to live freely; to worship, speak, and gather. In this article, originally written by PBA political science professor Dr. James Todd, he shares how recent federal decisions have impacted some states’ policies on redistricting—and explores the implications for representation and governance. Americans in all 50 states are represented by members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Under the Constitution, a state receives its number of House members according to its […]

Leslie J. Feldman, Good News Media Group, November 2025

Now I feebly sense why Jesus spoke in parables so often. There’s a lot of meaning in subjects and ideas that can be misinterpreted without a little context, because words alone are sometimes inadequate to express a thought properly. The impact of the passing of Charlie Kirk touched a lot of people in incredibly different ways — some with hate, but many with love. But I’ll come back to that thought. In my attempt to formulate some historical reference for such a ferocity of emotions — so many people caring so deeply, the confluence of such intensity — well, let […]

When my father was 88, an interviewer asked him about his greatest regret. Looking back over a lifetime of evangelistic ministry, he said he wished he had spent more time memorizing Scripture. When I was growing up, my mother and father always tried to whet my appetite for Scripture. On Sundays after church, my mother insisted that we children memorize a verse before we could go outside and play. She let us choose Bible verses to recite from memory, so I flipped through my Bible, scanning for short verses like “Jesus wept.” I thought I was outsmarting her, but she […]

Rising costs, limited mobility, and isolation make hunger and loneliness a daily reality for many of South Florida’s older adults. But as John and Lynn Offerdahl quickly discovered, God’s solution isn’t a one-man game. “Since I was first drafted by the Dolphins, Lynn and I looked for ways to give back to the community that welcomed and supported us as we raised our family and launched our restaurants. When we were invited to be part of feeding isolated seniors in Broward County, we knew that just like in football, it takes a team to win.” – John Offerdahl A government […]

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand” (John 10:27-28 NKJV). Laced through the verses of the tenth chapter of John’s gospel are promises to us from our Lord related to how He cares for us like a shepherd cares for his own sheep. These words of Jesus are packed with principles and promises. He knows us – everything about us – past, present and future. He gives us eternal life, the greatest of all […]
