Many Christians have been looking more closely at the places they shop, concerned about the values the corporations’ owners endorse. Other Christians either choose to focus on issues more important to them or on the individual workers who could be harmed by a boycott. Complicating the matter for many is the difference between the approaches used by various groups: some groups directly encourage boycotts while others simply encourage being informed shoppers or consumers. Regardless of the approach, the intent is to prevent Christians from spending their money at a place that does not support their values. Some see this as […]

The City of Parkland has given Coastal Community Church the green light to build a permanent church home — the first and only Protestant church in Parkland. On April 5 it was a standing room only event with Lead Pastor TJ McCormickm, of Coastal Community Church, church goers and members of the community waiting for the okay from city commissioners to proceed with the development. In a surprising 5-0 approval vote, it was clear that “God did a miraculous thing,” as Pastor McCormick will testify. This undertaking, titled as the Immeasurably More Building Project, is the result of four years […]

On Thursday, May 4, people of all faiths across America are invited to join together in a day of prayer for our nation to intercede for our leaders, defenders, public servants and families. Designating a national day of prayer is a tradition that began in 1775 with the Continental Congress, has been observed by many presidents over the years, including Abraham Lincoln in 1863, and was established as an annual event by President Truman in 1952. In 1983 the Supreme Court affirmed the right of state legislatures to open their sessions with prayer and in 1988 President Ronald Reagan officially […]

  One of my most memorable experiences in Israel happened many years ago right outside the Old City of Jerusalem. I was living at a school on Mount Zion at the time, pursuing a master’s degree in Judeo-Christian Studies. As students often do, we came up with a bright idea that provided adventure while burning off pent-up energy from days spent in class. Our idea was to hike to the top of the Mount of Olives to watch the sunrise. Early one morning, while it was still dark outside, a group of about six of us began the hike around […]

Susie and Howard have been married twenty years. It has been a long, hard road. They have fought, made up, separated, reconciled, and fought over again and again. The issues have changed, but they have not changed. What they do to trigger each other and their responses are like steps in a well-choreographed dance. Now, looking at two decades of verbal and emotional abuse, they both wonder if the other person can change. Sometimes at their most honest moments, they even look in a mirror and wonder if they themselves can change. Most of us can relate to such struggles […]
