Jesus, the Name above every name. Or is it? For those who recognize Jesus as Savior, His Name has special meaning. The name Jesus, derived from Joshua, meaning God is salvation, was a somewhat common name amongst first century Jews. Of course, the Jesus referred to here is Jesus of Nazareth, who is called Christ. This Jesus, is not always well received. Some are highly offended by just the mention of His Name. The Name can certainly be divisive. This Easter season presents an opportunity to consider who He is. Who is Jesus of Nazareth to you? In a day […]

It is no overstatement to say that Jesus is the greatest example of the revelation of God’s grace, character and plans for us. Never did two feet ever grace the shores of the Sea of Galilee like those that later carried a wooden cross through Jerusalem to procure our salvation. During His Life, Jesus faced and conquered the very temptations that you and I face every day. And, by saying “no” to those temptations, Jesus demonstrated for us the opportunity to live a holy life through the power of the Holy Spirit. In Luke 4, we read of a rather […]

In life, we can go through circumstances and feel like we are seeing clearly, but in actuality we are incorrect in our assessment of the situation. The Bible says, “For as he thinks in his heart so is he,” (Proverbs 23:7 Amplified). This means that we can believe something to be true, even if it is not true and it can become a reality to us. This happened to the Israelites when God asked them to possess the land of Canaan. God asked Moses to send 12 spies in to survey the land and bring back samples of the land’s […]

After recently watching the How to End Gendercide video on the All Girls Allowed website, a flurry of emotions came over me; it began with a mixture of confusion, distress and worry and ended with a feeling of hope. I couldn’t help but imagine if I had been born in China, I could have possibly faced being abused, tortured, kidnapped, trafficked or even murdered…just for being a girl. Hearing the term “It’s a Girl” in China does not have the same joyous ring to it that it has here in the United States. In fact, it often comes along with […]

Since then he has studied extensively in the area of Creation. “CSI is called to remove this stumbling block by teaching the truth that God is our Creator, that we are made in His image, and that by Him and through Him, all things were made.” CSI […]

Fleeing police at age nineteen, Terryon was shot twice; once in the chest and another in the arm during an attempted armed robbery. He spent a month in the hospital, then three years in prison. Although an unfortunate story, Terryon’s situation is not uncommon in the area he’s from: the inner-city. However, there is hope for kids and teens in downtown West Palm Beach. Urban Youth Impact (UYI) is an organization founded by Bill Hobbs (known as Mr. Bill on campus), whose mission is to love, equip and empower inner-city youth and their parents to fulfill their God-given purpose.
