Our world is changing. The way people live, work, play, and worship is changing. For the first time in history, the world as we know it is 50 percent urban. An estimated 5 million new people a month move to a city. Some have projected that by 2050, 75 percent of the world’s population will live in a city. While the implications of our changing landscape are vast, one thing is clear: God seems to be moving the world towards cities. Could it be so they can hear the gospel?According to the church planting team at Redeemer City-to-City, a leadership […]

Gabriella Morris Good News   The more involved a father is in the life of a child the better. Studies show that babies with involved fathers are more likely to be emotionally secure and eager to explore their surroundings. As they grow, they are more sociable, better problem-solvers, have higher IQs by age 3 and do better academically than those with uninvolved fathers, according to a review of studies by the Father Involvement Research Alliance. With that in mind, Boot Camp for New Dads (BCND) was designed to help men step right into their new roles as fathers from birth. […]

There has been much in the news lately about the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire Primary. These two states kick off the race for delegates to the Republican and Democratic conventions, but they have quite different means of selecting their delegates to the national conventions. Why the difference? Different states choose the means to nominate their delegates: some choose to hold a primary, where a simple vote through the whole state is taken to nominate delegates, others choose to hold a caucus, where delegates are selected by a system of local gatherings. Though the caucus was once the means […]

Open Carry: A Bad Idea for Florida

The Good News

Sheriff Scott Israel   With more than 350 mass shootings in the United States in 2015, gun violence weighs heavily in everyone’s thoughts.  Having more guns brandished openly on our streets is not the answer, yet that is exactly what will happen if a very dangerous bill passes in Tallahassee this year. The “open carry” bill would further weaken Florida’s already permissive gun laws by allowing concealed weapon permit holders to carry their guns openly and visibly virtually anywhere.  This “Wild West” open carry proposal would make Florida a more dangerous and menacing place, not a safer place.  That is […]

It’s even rarer when that person is right here in South Florida. David Newcombe and his wife Rozanne, founders of Livingstone Mission Centre (LMC-Africa) live in Jupiter, Florida. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, David emigrated to the U.S. with Rozanne and found work as a CPA in 1986.

Is the Bible Like Asbestos in the Public School?

Jerry Newcombe
no comments

Jerry Newcombe Good News   It is amazing that people today want to treat anything from the Bible as if it’s asbestos (to borrow a line from Christian attorney Jordan Lorence) if it somehow shows up in a public school. Historically, it was the push to teach the Bible that gave birth to education for the masses in the first place. This was the forerunner to the public school. How ironic. A seemingly minor conflict in a small Texas public high school is symptomatic of a major conflict in society at large. Specifically, can cheerleaders in a public school adorn […]
