Les Feldman: Caveat Emptor

We are in uncharted territory, then I am reminded we’ve been here a few times before. “I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10 NIV). Fear can overtake us, but God is all-powerful and will offer us all the strength we need. It seems to me we are being betrayed by the people whose job it is to protect us and bring about balance. The media, which is often called the fourth estate, refers to the press and news media both in explicit capacity of advocacy and implicit ability to […]

What is the best concert you have ever attended? And who did you go with?

The music we experience throughout our lives has a way of influencing our emotions and triggering memories, whether it’s a love song, smooth jazz or rock ‘n’ roll!  This month, Good News Wants to Know…What is the best concert you have ever attended? And who did you go with? My most memorable concert was The Rolling Stones in Jacksonville in 1975. I went with a recent acquaintance named Chad, and when he complained about what the traffic would be like going and coming, I suggested he rent a helicopter to fly us in and out. And that’s what we did. We […]

William “Bill” C. Davell: Seven Steps Toward Staying Out of Court

The Good News provides a monthly column with important content having to do with topics from the legal community. This month features a conversation with Paul Lopez, COO, Tripp Scott.   “Murphy’s Law” – “If anything can go wrong, it will” – originated in science but also applies to human relationships, including business dealings. Even partners or contracting parties with the best relationships and intentions often run into misunderstandings and failures to meet expectations that lead to legal disputes, making it critical to identify, preclude and prepare for highly probable bumps – and barriers – in the road. So here […]

Lisa May: Change

Several months ago, I wrote an article about the seasons of change in our marriages and families. Every garden and every vine is planted, pruned, nourished by the sun and rain, and yields a fruit or floral. Some grow like redwoods, and others are forever delicate. Some live hundreds of years, and others die after the first blossom. Everything and everyone changes over time through age, maturity, experiences and circumstances. All creation changes: families, friendships, churches, climate, cells, organizations, oceans, marriages and ministries. We can’t escape it! Change can be pleasant, challenging, terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. Sometimes, […]

Dr. O.S. Hawkins: Three Verses for Youth… And the Rest of Us!

“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31 NKJV). Shortly after I became a follower of Christ at age seventeen, someone told me three very important verses for young believers to know. I distinctively remember immediately writing them in the flyleaf of my Bible. Over those first months of my Christian walk, only God knows how many times I referred to them until they were forever locked in the memory bank of my mind.  Over these five decades of Christian living, I have owned dozens of Bibles in […]
