This Christmas will you and your family accept the gift God is waiting to provide? Unlike the commercialized Christmas gifts our world tells us are expected, the gift God is hoping to give you does not need batteries. It will not expire, and it won’t deplete your bank account.

It is the gift of unconditional love, of hope, of generosity, of selflessness…given to your sister or brother living in a developing country. When God invites us to step forward, he creates the […]

The Fort Lauderdale Christmas Pageant started in 1984 at the War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale as a modest production, with the First Baptist Church donating $20,000 to stage a Christmas pageant as a gift to the community. This year, the now Broadway-style spectacle will embark on a 30th anniversary celebration starting November 30 with a budget of over $1.3 million.

Divorce, cohabitation and efforts to redefine marriage are completely transforming the attitudes of most Americans toward marriage. A […]

Sadly, our Sunshine state is a land of darkness for many, as Florida hosts the third highest population of trafficked individuals in the United States. Sound too farfetched? Consider some of these shocking realities: There are more slaves today than at any other time in history. There are an estimated 250,000 slaves in the U.S.A. There are an estimated 27 million slaves worldwide (most believe this to be underestimated). The average age for a trafficked individual is 13. The average […]
