“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another”  (John 13:34-35 NIV). “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13). I have been counseling people since 1972. I began counseling married couples in 1982. Most of these couples have been people who professed faith in Christ Jesus. They sang in choirs, served on deacon boards and went on mission […]

In the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, South Floridians, nonprofits and church communities are giving intentionally to bring relief to the hardest hit areas in the Keys and Puerto Rico. As the Acts 2 Church shared its possessions “with all, as anyone might have need” (Acts 2:45), so are faith-based organizations and community leaders. While it would be impossible to recognize them all, here are a few who are making a difference worthy of support. Foster kids give back On September 18, Place of Hope, a unique faith-based family-style foster care organization, gathered a group of church volunteers and […]

vision 2020

Church United began with a simple question: what if we could change the narrative of South Florida? What if our community became known as the best place to live, to work, and to raise a family? Similar to our own stories, the story of South Florida is far from over. The vision of Church United has always been beyond any one church, key leader, or organization— it is about the flourishing of South Florida. A vision rooted in the belief that as the gospel saturates the region, generosity is reigned, stronger families are formed, Sunday’s faith would be more connected […]

30 years

If you grew up in the church like I did, you’re familiar with the lyrics of a sweet song often played during the altar call, when people were invited to come forward and indicate their decision to follow Christ … “I have decided to follow Jesus / No turning back, no turning back.”   It’s a song for the beginning of your relationship with Jesus … but it’s also a song that carries you along the way. “The world behind me, the cross before me … No turning back, no turning back.”   As OneHope remembers and celebrates 30 years […]

When a Stone is Better than Bread

“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?” (Matthew 7:9). In His Sermon on the Mount, the child in Jesus’ example asked his father for bread, which is something that is right, good and necessary. And we would expect a loving father to give what is right, good and necessary to his child. But I have a very important question to ask you right now: “When is getting a stone better than getting bread?” The answer of course is – when it is our Savior who is giving us the stone. Why? Because it […]

The theaters have already seen a number of faith-based films earlier this year such as “The Resurrection of Gavin Stone,” “The Shack,” “The Case for Christ,” and “The Champion.” These films touched many lives while on the big screen, and since most of them are now available on DVD, streaming and for church licensing, they are continuing to touch lives. These movies inspire and encourage believers, providing a special opportunity for an uplifting experience for our families while serving as an outreach to the unchurched as well. However, believers should understand that, unlike many secular films, there is rarely a […]
