God whisperer

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” is an excerpt of the famous speech delivered by Martin Luther King almost sixty years ago. “I had a dream last night, it was weird; is God talking to me?”, so asked Julianne this morning upon waking up. Dr. King was sharing an aspiration, a vision, a desire and a hope for the future. My wife was explaining mental imagery and experiences, possibly a window […]

In the last 30 years, our world has experienced tremendous transformation in technology, communications, and culture. University professors, perhaps more than anyone, have seen how these changes impact young adults and their worldview. In this article, Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA) chemistry professor Dr. Gregory J. Rummo shares how Gen Z is uniquely positioned to embrace their faith authentically.   The majority of students on college campuses currently are members of Generation Z (Gen Z). They are adults, born between 1997 and 2021, and the most stressed cohort to ever embark on their journey through higher education. They are reporting […]

Dr. Tommy Boland, Cross Community Church, Good News Media Group, February 2025

There are countless ways we can waste the little and precious time our Lord has given to us.  But there is one way that trumps them all – PROCRASTINATION – putting off until tomorrow what we should and must do today. And if the truth be known, one day soon, tomorrow will not come.   “As Paul talked about righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and said, ‘That’s enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you’”  (Acts 24:25). The apostle Paul is speaking before Governor Felix at Caesarea about […]

Edwin Copeland: I Pledge Allegiance to the Christian Flag

I grew up reciting the pledge of allegiance to the Christian flag every morning at Immanuel Christian School outside of Washington, DC. “I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior for whose Kingdom it stands…” Those words got in me. They shaped me. They formed me. And yet, over time, I and many of my peers in ministry have wrestled with the growing tension between the ideals embedded in that pledge and the reality of how much of the Christian community speaks and acts today. That tension has become impossible to ignore – especially in light of […]

Dr. O.S. Hawkins, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Good News Media Group, February 2025

“I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart, whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary. For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave-a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh […]

Andrew Holmes: Commanded to LOVE!

February is known for a lot of wonderful things – one of the things that comes to mind the most is love. In fact, for me, not only does the month of February hold Valentine’s Day, but it’s also my wife Rochelle and daughter Olivia’s birthday on the same day! February holds a lot of love! So when February starts, I start thinking a lot about love. The scripture that stands out for me is in Matthew 22:36-40 where Jesus shares the great commandment. And isn’t it interesting that the great commandment is quite literally commanding us to love? This […]

Lisa May: Love Well

God created us for an intimate relationship with Him and others. We are born with biological needs for bonding and closeness. We’re physically needy. We need food, clothing, water and shelter to survive. We’re spiritually needy. Man needs communion with God and freedom from guilt and shame; we need forgiveness, mercy and grace. We’re also emotionally and relationally needy. We need a relationship with God and others. We’re intellectually needy; we’re born with intellectual capacity, but we need instruction and information.    Unaware, many of our deepest and most potent desires are wrapped up in our desire to have our […]
