For her 40th birthday, Lucy McCann wanted nothing more than to take a vacation to her native homeland of Cartagena, Colombia with her husband Oliver. Amidst the historical charm that lures many tourists to the balmy South American port, the couple took notice of a young girl in the distance. Dark skinned, dirty and clad only in torn underwear, her demeanor was downtrodden and her haunting image one of despair. She was one of the “disposables,” as labeled by the natives there, isolated and imprisoned in a world of heinous atrocity. Not only due to her poverty but because at […]

It is lunch time at a local high school. With prom only a few weeks away, students shuffle into Mrs. Anya Harrison’s classroom to plan and organize for the big event. After unveiling the fabric and hearing the instructions, the students take to the floor and begin folding and cutting organza. Similar meetings take place at schools across the country this time of year but this gathering of students is not what you would typically expect. They are here, not to work on party décor for the big social event, but to craft their school’s first ever “Flowerless Prom” as […]

This year, Florida has already recorded 90,000 divorces and leads the nation for children in single parent homes. While the depressed economy has parents working two and three jobs just to survive, kids and teenagers feel abandoned and alone as they desperately search for significance and acceptance. Churches throughout our community recognize the need to reach out, but struggle with how to effectively connect with families. With the challenge of today’s economy, the local church is finding it difficult to provide adequate staff and resources to make a significant impact on families within the congregation and community. The Problem is […]

A Christian Response to Osama bin Laden

(WNS)–On Sunday night, I ended up watching the speech announcing Osama bin Laden’s death and wrote an article about it for WORLD Magazine’s web-site. The story summarized reactions that almost immediately started coming in from around the world. But the next day I said to myself: “Yes, these are the reactions of our politicians and pundits, but what should be the appropriate Christian reaction?” As it turns out, this is not so easy a question. The Bible has much to say on the subject, some of it difficult to reconcile. Consider this: “The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your […]

With all of the things that are happening in our world today, many people are talking about the coming apocalypse. It is interesting to note that the word “apocalypse” means “lifting the veil” in the Greek language.  God is surely telling us something by all these current events – so, what does our Bible have to say about it? Studying the Book of the Revelation of Saint John is a profound endeavor. There is so much symbolism to try to understand and everyone seems to have different explanations. But, when we study the other prophets and the Olivet Discourse, (Matthew […]
