Have you recently been trying to share your faith with someone special in your life who is a nonbeliever? Maybe you have been inviting a certain family member or friend to attend church with you, but they haven’t been ready to take that next step. If you can relate to either of these scenarios, a wonderful opportunity to share the gospel with those around you is coming this month to the Christian Life Center in Fort Lauderdale. The church will be hosting Heaven’s Gates and Hell’s Flames, a renowned dramatic and life-changing play that depicts many difficult situations that people […]

Time To Perform A Family Audit – More Family Time

Bob Barnes

It’s seven weeks into the school year and you’ve already lost control.  This is not the way you saw the family schedule going.  Every man for himself, everyone going in different directions and there is no family time whatsoever.  It’s like the whole family fell down a steep hill and everyone is rolling faster and faster … in different directions. Once the family activity year gets rolling, putting on the breaks is difficult.  Most parents just give up and let it roll.  Mom is the one who usually realizes that this just isn’t the best plan for the children. Before […]

Waiting on the Lord

Wack!  In one swift moment, Moses, yes, the faithful Moses who was privy to the Lord Almighty’s voice and direct authority, struck the rock twice with his rod. In one intuitive move, the son of the first King of Israel snuck out to the Philistines’ garrison without Saul’s knowledge and approval.  Jonathan expressed to his armor bearer, “…It may be that the Lord will work for us.  For nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few.”  Jonathan continued on by stating, “…Very well, let us cross over to these men, and we will show ourselves to them.  […]

The Blood of Redemption

This month at The Good News our theme is Redemption and I immediately thought about the blood of Jesus. How is it that we can be saved from all of our sins by having them washed away by blood? And what was the high price paid for our redemption? Ephesians 1:7 says, “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.” We were purchased with a great price when our Lord Jesus shed His blood for us, and now […]

Christian comedian Brad Stine, dubbed “God’s Comic” by New Yorker magazine, will be making a pit stop in Fort Lauderdale on October 14 to share his comedic talents with South Floridians. Featured in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal (just to name a few) and on numerous shows including HBO, Glenn Beck and Comedy Central, Stine describes his comedy routine as a “mission” – one that will help free people from the bondage of political correctness and prevent our society from what he calls inevitable “wussification.” The shaggy blonde-haired Stine, who bears an odd resemblance to Denis Leary, […]

(Scroll down to leave a comment on what makes a spiritual snob) Spiritual snobs are everywhere.  Have you seen any lately?  Do you know what a spiritual snob looks like?  At times, you may see one looking at you in the mirror! What makes a spiritual snob? We are all spiritual snobs by nature; it’s woven deep into our sinful DNA. We like to judge others on everything from lifestyle to looks . . . money to Life . . . personality to profession. We spend far too much time searching for and speaking about the speck in the eye […]

Don’t Let Fear Immobilize You

A couple of years ago, I had a conversation with my grandma about traveling around the world to experience amazing cultures, natural wonders, cities and people. She told me she had never been on a plane and would never get on one either! I asked, “Why grandma?” Her response was, “I am afraid to fly on planes.” I thought about what she said and it saddened me greatly. I imagined all the wonderful destinations she would miss out on, the new friends she would never meet and memories she would not experience. Her understanding of the world would be limited […]

Kathy Strongin sat at her desk, in her lavish Southern California home, reviewing her accomplished life goals by age 24. A successful realtor owning three homes with a Mercedes parked outside , Strongin hung her head questioning why, even after all her achievements, emptiness still filled her soul.  Raised by an alcoholic father who walked out on the family when she was seven years old, Strongin vividly recalls her mom’s dependency on welfare to support the family. “It was hard,” she said. “I thought as I got older, I never wanted to be in this position of being without.” Determined […]
