If a prostitute shared her story, the preconceived notion may change from an addict choosing the lifestyle to a vulnerable child tricked into the industry. And it’s happening in your backyard. “Florida is in the top three states for human trafficking in America where the average age of prostitution is twelve years old,” said Bonnie Jo Daniels, Project Coordinator for Hope for Freedom at Christ Fellowship. With the over – sexualization of our culture and its blatant attack on our men, you maybe surprised how sexual addiction begins. Here is one example: A young boy gets a glimpse of pornography; […]

When you think of Human Trafficking in America you might think that it affects only large cities like Miami, New York, Atlanta or Portland, right? Wrong! According to The U.S. Department of Education, “Contrary to a common assumption, human trafficking is not just a problem in other countries. Cases of human trafficking have been reported in all 50 states, Washington D.C., and some U.S. territories. Victims of human trafficking can be children or adults, U.S. citizens, foreign nations, male or female. According to U.S. government estimates state that thousands of men, women, and children are trafficked to the United States […]

Spring is here, and along with rain and flowers it brings a time of both reflection and joy for many Christians. During this season we celebrate God and give thanks for His love and the sacrifice that was made for us through His son, Jesus. God’s plan of redemption for His people began to unfold in the Old Testament. In Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Numbers we see a blueprint for how God would bring forth that redemption in His Feasts. The feasts are called moedim in Hebrew, meaning appointments. The feasts make up God’s appointment calendar with His redeemed people. […]

There have been a lot of changes and big events going on at Potential Church in Cooper City. If the new name sounds unfamiliar, you may remember them as Flamingo Road Church. Changing the name was one of the church’s main changes of 2010. On the weekend of 10.10.10., over 14,000 people formerly known as Flamingo Road made the name change to reflect the growing international presence of the church that now has campuses in North and South America, along with a growing online and international television presence and audience. In regards to the church’s new name, Lead Pastor Troy […]

Regardless of our spiritual background, few Americans are totally unfamiliar with the events commemorated during Easter. Perhaps it is this widespread familiarity that threatens to detract from the depth of the celebration. In an article published in Christianity Today, John Witte Jr. contrasts the circumstances of the birth of Christ with the accounts of his death and resurrection. Where prophets, angels, wise men and shepherds are all a part of God’s proclamation of his son’s birth, the accounts of Jesus’ death and resurrection seem positively subdued. Aside from the violence of the temple veil being torn (Matthew 27:51) and a […]

Adversities can affect us at any age. As adults, most of us are prepared to handle difficulties that may come our way, but facing traumas and adversities as a young child can be extremely difficult, especially when there is no parent around to direct the child through a painful season.Traumas in childhood are known to upset the orderly course of development, both psychologically and biologically, and the affected child is often left with an increased risk of adverse outcomes. Unfortunately, some children don’t move past these experiences as they grow into adulthood, while others use the experiences as motivation to […]

Remember the tourism campaign from years ago- Florida- See It Like A Native? Like the New Yorkers who never make it to the Empire State Building, too often it takes a visit from out of towners to encourage us to sample all that our state has to offer. Maybe the slogan should have read- See It Like A Tourist. For instance- the beach. None of us are much more than an hour away from the coast but when was the last time you went? Have you ever had­ a yen to take a detour on the way home from work […]

I had always told myself that I was not one for long a long distance relationship. Initially, in my mind I had always thought of the concept within the mentality of romance. Never would I have thought I would be confronted with the idea in relationship to my family. This past August, I moved from the small Florida town I grew up in, to a cute northern town in Mid-Wisconsin to attend Bible College. Moving went well, the trip was great, and I was ready for adventure and a new chapter in my life. As the semester started, I was […]

LifeWay Christian Resources recently surveyed 1,200 men and women, aged 18–29, to get a more in-depth look at their beliefs on faith. The results? Many in this Millennial generation, also known as Generation Y, do not pray, worship or even read the Bible. A staggering 72% consider themselves to be more “spiritual” than “religious”. Thom Rainer, president of LifeWay Christian Resources explains that if the younger generations continue to follow this road, “they will see churches closing as quickly as GM dealerships”, and goes on to say that among the 65% who actually do call themselves Christian, “many are Christian […]
