Dr. O.S. Hawkins: The Trinity and Prayer

Dr. O.S. Hawkins

“Through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father” (Ephesians 2:18 NKJV).   The holy Trinity is one of the imponderables of almighty God. God is One, manifesting Himself in three persons as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I am not bothered by the fact that it is a great mystery and difficult to grasp. In fact, if I could understand it all, there would not be much to it. This is why the Christian life is a life of faith. Philosophy might attempt to explain it, but it cannot change. Christianity changes lives […]

The Fountain of Youth is a mythical spring which is supposed to erase some of the years time has bestowed upon us. Somehow Ponce de Leon and the state of Florida make claim to this fabled site. No need for me to travel to St. Augustine to get a piece of the action; this tender wellspring simply walks into our home each time that our daughter Ruthie pays a visit. She is young and beautiful, both inside and out, and I am blessed to be infused with this novel source on a regular basis. She reminds me so much of […]

Edwin Copeland: From Lifeboats to Yacht Clubs – What Rescue Societies Teach Us About the Church Today

Edwin Copeland

In the early days of seaside life and commerce along the coasts of the United Kingdom, danger was a daily reality. With unpredictable storms, rugged shorelines and limited navigation tools, shipwrecks were frequent, and lives were lost. In response, ordinary people — fisherman, teachers, blacksmiths and clergy — banded together to form rescue societies. These groups were fueled by urgency, compassion and a singular mission: save lives at sea. They built lifeboats. They trained volunteers. They braved the worst weather imaginable, rowing into violent storms pulling strangers from certain death. These rescue societies were gritty, sacrificial and profoundly purpose driven.  […]

We are fresh from celebrating Lent, Good Friday and Easter. I must say, each year I experience something a little different. One moment of reflection for me was the day in between Friday and Sunday, Saturday. I imagined what was going on in the earthly world of the disciples and followers of Jesus but also what was going on in the Heavenly world with Jesus and His angels. These thoughts drew me to consider how the In-betweens of life make an impact. Sunsets make you think it’s the end of one thing and the beginning of another: it’s an in-between. […]

Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA) was founded on a bold vision: Bring a Christ-centered university to South Florida during a time of cultural unsettlement. Since our humble beginnings, PBA has empowered students to tackle the problems of their day with godly character, open arms, and a servant’s heart. Today, as we build on that 57-year legacy, our future is not just bright — it is already taking on a new shape.    Celebrating milestones Last month, we celebrated a major milestone with a “topping off” ceremony to celebrate the final stages of the new Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Business […]

Andrew Holmes, 4KIDS, Good News Media Group, April 2025

It’s National Foster Care Month, and since you’re a Good News reader, I’d be willing to bet you’ve heard about the longstanding ministry of 4KIDS. But even with some familiarity, there are some things within the child welfare system that too many of us in the Christian community here in South Florida haven’t really seen.    Run after the unseen The reality is that every day, 4KIDS is running after the unseen. These kids and families are hurting and often isolated – but you won’t see their pain in your everyday life. 4KIDS doesn’t only serve kids once they are […]

Franklin Graham: Preaching the Timeless Message of the Gospel

As I write this, I have just finished preaching the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to more than 430,000 people gathered in Meskel Square in the city center of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. I praise God for the thousands who repented of their sins and professed their faith in Jesus Christ during the two-day Encountering God outreach. Sixty-five years ago, my father preached the same Gospel message of faith and repentance in Christ in this same Ethiopian capital. Since then, the world has changed, politics have changed, but the Gospel does not change. It’s the same yesterday, […]
