Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Celebrates 10 Million! The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) celebrated reaching 10 Million indicated decisions for Christ in June. Each one has a name—and a story. Like Ruth, a suicidal woman and self-described former devil worshiper who felt unworthy of God’s love because of her past mistakes. Or Aban*, a 21-year-old Muslim man from Pakistan who wanted to know more about this Jesus who sacrificed his life for him. In the past six years, over 50 million people like Ruth and Aban have come across BGEA’s evangelistic website, PeaceWithGod.net (or PazConDios.net in Spanish). On June 9th, […]

What Should We Expect of Our Preachers?

Dr. Gary Hewins

Show me a nation with weak preaching and I will show you a nation in trouble. Wherever the church is weak around the globe, the darkness appears strong. This is true because “righteousness exalts a nation” (Proverbs 14:34). Identify a country with a weak church and you will likely find several common killers; spiritual apathy, watered down preaching, a corrupt government, violence in the streets and people robbed of their God-ordained dreams. Most of us live in a church environment where we are conditioned and encouraged to discover new and innovative ways of reaching our culture with the glorious gospel. […]

Hope in the Wilderness: Walking Through the Pain of Miscarriage

According to the American Pregnancy Association, the chances of having a miscarriage for women in their childbearing years is 15 – 20 percent and women who are 35 – 45 have a 20 – 35 percent chance of miscarriage. Before I had a miscarriage I assumed it was rare for a woman to miscarry. We hear a lot about family planning. From my view, it seemed that couples just decided when they wanted to have a child, and they got pregnant soon after. Like many women who personally understand the aforementioned statistics, my experience was very different. I kept saying […]

Vacation days can be a great opportunity for Christian families to learn about and reconnect with God and the Bible in various ways. Too often we may think that the only Christian vacation destinations are found in the Mediterranean and the Middle East, but that’s not the case. Here in Florida and throughout the U.S. we have various places to visit and learn more about our beliefs and to show children the importance of our life-altering faith. Wycliffe Discovery Center, Orlando The Wycliffe Discovery Center offers a glimpse into the mission of Bible translation in the world today. There are […]

One of the key elements of Church United is changing the narrative of the Church. We want the churches of our community to be known more for what they are for rather than what they are against. Unity for the sake of Kingdom mission changes everything — walls come down, new friendships are formed, and unlikely partnerships are born. Church United at Fort Lauderdale High School Layton Germann, lead church planter and pastor of Celebration Church, discovered this as he and his wife moved to South Florida last November to start a new church in Fort Lauderdale. Fort Lauderdale High […]

What would you do to save your congregation? If your Pastor told you on Sunday the church where you were baptized was closing its doors due to economic challenges, how would you respond? Recently, my wife and I were given the opportunity to view a screening for the upcoming film “All Saints,” which is set to hit the theaters on August 25. All Saints is being released by the same studio that introduced last year’s number one movie of the year, “War Room.” This is a film that is sure to remind you what it truly means to minister to […]

  “People always ask me, ‘Are things getting any better in Haiti?’ My reply is always, “At the Village of Hope in Haiti things are getting better every day, grace a dieu (thanks to God),” said Pastor Andy Hagen, of Advent Church in Boca Raton, who is speaking from experience. He has been leading mission trips to Haiti since 2003 and has travelled there over 25 times. “The situation in Haiti was not good even before the earthquake of 2010 that took the lives of between 200,000 and 300,000 people. But the quake and cholera epidemic that followed made things […]

What is depression? It is the most common psychological problem faced by humanity. At some time nearly every human being suffers a season of depression as he or she journeys through this life. For some it becomes a lifestyle and condition that they rarely escape. But what exactly is depression? Depression is a deep feeling, attitude and thought process in which we are captured by a conviction that all hope is lost. Depression is hopelessness. It is defeat projected to every possible future moment. It is despair. Sadness is a response to some past or present loss. It can be […]

interruptions

My wife and I were having an important discussion a number of years ago, one of those husband and wife discussions that center on schedules, budgets, decisions, etc.  Important stuff, right? Our three-year-old daughter did not hesitate to interrupt our discussion because she was thirsty and she needed her “dink” right now.  She would not stop interrupting until we stopped our conversation to meet her immediate need. Lisa and I were out of town on vacation when our beach day was interrupted by a text from our daughter that stated, “Just so you both know… I refer to the time I was […]

The Call for Social Justice

The Good News

We live in an imperfect world with a huge imbalance of wealth and power. Sometimes when we hear about social justice in Christian circles, we think of liberal theology, left-wing radicals and some denominations that seem to be more concerned with helping their fellow man than following a conservative doctrinal creed. But God is a God of justice and wants his people to make a difference in the world, standing up for those who cannot stand up for themselves and sharing what we have with those who have nothing. Caring for the oppressed, the poor, the disadvantaged, and the socially […]
