If you could find a good nickname for Satan, what would it be?  Of course, it’s “the deceiver”.  On the other hand how did Jesus describe Himself? John 14:6 records His words saying, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” He didn’t just say He knew the way, spoke the truth and lived the life, He said, “I AM.” This statement left no doubt as to who He knew Himself to be.  He was the embodiment of “the way, the truth and the life”. So, how do we live our lives and differentiate between the deceptions of Satan […]

The inspirational and intimate stories expressed in the videos reveal how the storyteller was able to overcome addictions, divorce, fame and numerous other life struggles through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ – with the speaker wrapping up the video […]

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 […]

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 […]

(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 […]

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 […]
