In an effort to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community, a Town Hall Meeting entitled Rebuilding Faith in Our Community was held on August 4th in Sunrise. Hosted by The Faith Center’s Bishop Henry Fernandez, the event featured a panel discussion with Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel, area police chiefs, politicians, pastors and community leaders. With questions from the audience welcomed throughout, it was a candid  discussion about police brutality, the senseless killings of law enforcement officers, and how people can work together to make the community a safe place. “We’re all aware of the difficulties that […]

Imagine you are a police officer. It’s late at night and you’ve just pulled over a suspicious vehicle. As you and your partner approach the car, you must analyze and decide your next move in milliseconds. Suddenly, the driver jumps out of the car and approaches you shouting that he “wasn’t speeding.” As you firmly ask the driver to sit back in his car, the front passenger steps out and pushes past your partner. As your partner commands him to get back in the car, the passenger abruptly turns towards you and reaches for a dark object in his pocket. […]

The past year has been an unprecedented one for Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale and its regional campuses. It was one year ago that Pastor Bob Coy resigned his position as the senior pastor of Calvary Chapel. A month later, after much prayer and seeking God’s will for the future of our church, the Board of Directors appointed me lead pastor. Many people have asked how our church has been doing since then, and I thought it would be best to tell our story in a way that will benefit others and bring glory to God.

As one of the highest abortion impact areas in the nation, Broward County is home to 23 known abortion clinics. Last year alone more than 12,000 abortions were reported in the county; however, based on the economics of running an abortion clinic, many experts feel these numbers may be highly under reported, possibly reflecting only those abortions paid for by check or credit card. It also does not include hospitals and doctor’s offices where abortions are performed… [ Read More ] Hope Women’s Centers provide accurate information and compassionate care to women and men facing pregnancy decisions.

This is one of the most frequently asked questions by Christians who attempt to fit dinosaurs into biblical history. Many Christians are amazed to learn that dinosaurs, as well as dragons, are mentioned in God’s Word. In the book of Job, one of the oldest books of the bible, there is an excellent description of a very large animal that can easily be described as a large dinosaur. These dinosaurs are classified as Sauropods and are noted for their large size, massive bodies, long necks and tails, small heads and thick pillar-like legs.  One of the popular and most complete […]

Commentary I can remember sitting in class as every student took turns reading aloud.  I would count down the number of students ahead of me until it was my turn to read. There were times I would get up and run to the restroom just to avoid reading in front of the class. I was always nervous to talk in front people because of my speech impediment. My stuttering did not consist of repetitive words but word blocks—an inability to get words out. That speech problem continued to persist throughout junior high, high school, my young adulthood and even still […]
