just as he said

(Scroll down to leave a comment on everything that Jesus has said that came to pass. ) We celebrate Easter at the end of this month, the day a dead man named Jesus got up and walked out of the grave. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was crucified, dead and buried, to pay the penalty for the sins of all those who would put their trust in Him, by grace through faith. And on that first Easter morning, the ground began to shake, the stone was rolled away and the King of kings and the Lord of lords walked […]

A Perspective on Second Amendment Rights

Bob Woods
one comments

Florida has prohibited the open carry of firearms for nearly two decades, and efforts in recent years by gun-rights lobbyists to change that status haven’t been successful. While the idea of open carry of personal weapons may sound alarming to those of us who have lived for many years in South Florida, the fact is that Florida is one of only five states that do not allow open carry. The others are California, Illinois, New York and South Carolina, as well as the District of Columbia. There are initiatives, including HB 163, currently in process in the Florida legislature that […]

Miracles from Heaven is a Powerful and Emotional Success

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle” (unknown, but most commonly attributed to Albert Einstein). From Affirm Films (“Heaven is for Real” and “Risen”) comes another inspiring testimony: “Miracles from Heaven.” “Miracles from Heaven” is based on the true story of the Beam family as they encounter God’s unfailing love and constant presence during an incredible journey from hardship to healing.   How do you explain the impossible? How do you explain… a miracle? The question is posed in the opening […]

Take a look around South Florida…what do you see?Some see beauty – roadways lined with palm trees, breathtaking sunsets, endless beach, perfect weather, leading philanthropy, attractive people, yachts, cruise ships, expensive cars, a thriving economy and carefree smiles of people from across the world saying, “hello Sunny!” Others see brokenness. Income inequality – impoverished low-income housing across the street from a Ferrari dealership. A homeless epidemic – men and women with small children standing on street corners asking for a meal and safe shelter. An overtaxed foster care system – sirens wailing, first responders removing children from their homes. Overburdened […]

The Bible and Marijuana Use

The Good News

In the ongoing debate about the legalization of medical marijuana, I propose the following considerations in an effort to counterbalance the propaganda of some who think that this so-called mild hallucinogen might be relatively harmless. What if the euphoria of marijuana intoxication were not all-that innocent? What biblical principles — if any — should be considered in the consumption of cannabis beyond the pathological effects of this often smoked plant on the human body which — for Christians at least — is a temple of God (I Corinthians 6:19) not to be desecrated? Is there something qualitatively different about the […]

Just do it!

I am currently working our young church plant through Mathew’s gospel at KW Redeemer in a Christ Alone Series. As I worked through the gospel a few times to plan the series, I realized it’s going to take me 21 weeks. A few Sundays ago we tackled the famous Sermon on the Mount. Jesus is looking for a response to His sermon, but it’s not the one you’d think. If you were on the hill that day when Jesus wrapped things up and you said “Hey Jesus, thanks for the Torah recap. I’ll do it,” you would have actually missed […]

Challenges to Personal Evangelism

Bill McClain

When I came to Christ in 1973, I was so shy and introverted that I would cross the street to avoid greeting a stranger. I remember one day in Wilton Manors when I literally did this. I became an usher at my church, but I hated having to greet people when all I wanted to do was hide. Yet, I knew it was my job to tell people about Jesus, so after much prayer, I decided to become a pastor. I preached for 20 years. That was hard, but for me, easier than evangelizing. I say all this so you […]

The Secret Ingredient of a Strong Soul

“I wonder where I’ll be, and what I’ll be doing ten years from now.”  Did you ever say that? I’m saying it to myself right now. We were created to grow; our life is growth. James Allen said in his famous book As a Man Thinketh, “Man is a growth by law.” As we’re growing from here to there, the challenge is to face two essential things. “And let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Galatians 6:9). And there’s the challenge; sow and faint not! Are you like […]

The Good News

The increasing impact and reach of pornography in the digital age cannot be overstated. In “The Porn Phenomenon: A Comprehensive New Survey on Americans and Pronography,” compiled by the Barna Group, the research reveals a younger and younger exposure to pornography, increased desensitization and an escalating usage of pornography. These results are particularly evident among teens and young adults and reach into the Christian church as well. Detailed survey findings of the study were announced at a news conference on January 19th; however, abbreviated highlights of the survey include the following: More than one quarter (27%) of young adults ages […]

Sensere Brings Their Music Outside Church Walls to the People

Although small beginnings is where Sensere may have started, the appropriately titled name for this humble band is certainly far beyond where they are now. A melodic infusion of gospel, R&B, jazz and neo-soul, Sensere is focused on living out God’s vision by taking their music from the church to the world. The band, started in 2003 by James Wright, began with a small seed, an idea and desire to bring the word of God alive through soulful music. “I wanted to do something exactly like my dad.” said James Wright, founding member of Sensere. Wright’s father, Bishop James Wright […]
