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

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 […]

Study Reveals Changing Attitudes and Behaviors on Pornography—Especially Among Young Adults

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 […]

What about Life Insurance?

Life insurance may be one of the most important purchases an individual will ever make. An August 2010 study by LIMRA, an insurance research organization, revealed that ownership of individual life insurance has fallen to a 50-year low in the United States: 30 percent of households (35 million) have no life insurance coverage at all. In addition, there are a variety of mistakes made during the process of obtaining life insurance coverage.   Procrastinating When you wait too long to buy life insurance, you leave your family vulnerable if something unexpected happens to you. Term life insurance premiums generally increase […]

The True Fairy Tale

When you open up the Bible, you’re not opening up a textbook; you’re opening up a storybook. After all, the bible starts off with, “In the beginning.” A beginning presupposes that there’s an ending. And if you have a beginning and an ending, then you have a story, but the Bible isn’t just any story; it’s the story behind all your favorite stories. It’s the true fairy tale. C.S. Lewis was right when he said, “In the story of Christ, all the other stories have somehow come true.” But how is this possible? Thankfully, John the Apostle summarized the great […]

The Dash!

When you read the title of this month’s message, what came to mind? The word dash can define many different things, from a splash (dash) of water, to a small amount of an added ingredient for a recipe, to a footrace usually shorter than a quarter-mile. However, I have a word of wonderful encouragement contained in the word dash that comes under a totally different heading. A dash of… Picture a tombstone and you will see two dates separated by a hyphen (dash) in the middle. The first date on the left is the date of birth. The second date […]

Celebrating the Daughters of the King

One of the most exciting times in the life of a man is when he is told he is going to be a father. The most terrifying time in the life of a man is when he is told he is going to have a daughter. From the moment she is born, this little girl that God has perfectly created holds the keys to our hearts and there is not one day that goes by that we don’t worry about them. A mother’s love for them is one thing, but they are and will forever be, “Daddy’s Little Princesses.” From […]

One Local Ministry Provides an Oasis for those Impacted by HIV/AIDS

Florida ranked first among the 50 states in the number of HIV diagnoses in 2013, and despite the lingering stigma associated with the disease, one ministry is providing an Oasis for those impacted by the disease. According to Aids.gov (2016), over 12 million people in the United States are living with HIV and about 1 in 8 or 12.8 percent do not realize they have it. The incidence of HIV infection has remained somewhat consistent with approximately 50,000 new cases diagnosed per year.
