Hobby Lobby Founders Plan Bible Museum

Faithful. Humble. Grateful. Obedient. Serving. These are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind after spending a weekend at the Christian Mastermind Summit at St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton, hosted by David Green and his lovely wife of 55 years, Barbara Green. David Green has closely followed Biblical principles over the years. In 1972, the founder and CEO of the arts and crafts chain, Hobby Lobby, started the business with just $600. From the company’s humble beginnings in an Oklahoma City living room, Green, age 71, now oversees close to 20,000 employees and over 500 […]

Explorer Program Gives Youth a Taste of Public Service

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. […]

Support Swells for Christian Family in Norway After Authority Seizes Children

(WNS)–When Marius and Ruth Bodnariu sent their daughters off to school one day last fall, they had no idea they would not come home. And they certainly never imagined their three sons would also be gone before the next sundown — all five children seized by the Norwegian government because of their parents’ Christian beliefs. Tens of thousands of citizens across the globe have joined in protesting the Norwegian Child Welfare Agency’s seizure of the children after a school principal reported their parents for “indoctrinating” their children. The Bodnariu family lives in Naustdal, Norway, where Marius works as an IT […]

Battle for Our Nation at the Polls

Another election year is upon us. With so many big issues in play, there is a lot at stake. And much of the battle will be fought in the primaries. For the most part, the die will be cast at that time. But many Christians too often choose to sit on the sidelines. Some are not even registered to vote. What kind of a world are they leaving for their children, grandchildren, and neighbors? I remember seeing a bumper sticker on a car with Christian bumper stickers that said something like, “Why vote? It’s all rigged anyway.” Something to that […]

Be Secretly Incredible with Bob Goff at Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast

On March 31st thousands of city leaders, ministers and citizens will gather at the Broward Convention Center for the 54th Annual Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast with a mission to unite and encourage our community in fellowship and prayer. Bob Goff, bestselling author of Love Does: Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World, will give the keynote address. When I asked him what message he planned to share, he said simply, “Love everybody always.” It was a shockingly simple reply.  But after reading his book, I should not be surprised because Bob, as he would prefer to be called, has […]

Risen is Sure to Captivate Audiences

I know I’m not supposed to, but I have to admit it I love a good fight. The new New Testament era movie “Risen” starts with a brilliant Roman era battle scene. This is where director Kevin Reynolds set the hook in me. The scene was not over done. It was a simple, believable depiction of a confrontation between rebels and Romans that made the conflict real rather than cinematic. This is how I knew I was in for a good yarn that would have the kind of tension we love to experience in a film done well.   At […]

The Hands and Feet of Christ in Burkina Faso

(WNS)–Missionary Michael Riddering never suspected the coffee shop in West Africa would be the death of him and 27 others until it came under attack by al-Qaeda terrorists on Jan. 15. Riddering was with a pastor named Valentin in Ouagadougou, the Burkina Faso capital city, waiting to meet a group of short-term missionaries who had arrived to volunteer at the compound he and his wife, Amy Boyle Riddering, ran in the city of Yako. It began as just another day for the busy missionary. “They go from early in the morning till late at night every day doing something,” said […]
