It is hard to imagine that when the first ladies day was conducted at Palm Beach Lakes thirty years ago that anyone could have ever envisioned the impact it would eventually have. It was small in the beginning with the speakers just being members at PBL. When its value was realized, it became a Thursday night dinner with special speakers from other…

This is not written with anyone in mind nor is it written to rebuke or embarrass anyone.  I realize it can be difficult to know the best words to say in worship before the contribution, however, after years of hearing the same phrases and concepts repeated, perhaps it is time for us to consider this matter a little closer. What do we…

Have you checked the mirror lately and seen those wrinkles forming on your forehead? We might like to think of them as evidence of the wisdom we have gained over the years, but the truth is that they are far more likely to be just the evidence of the years themselves! It is amazing how ancient cultures used that part of the…

It is somewhat unusual in reading through the four accounts of the life of Jesus (in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) to find an event or a detail in the life of Jesus recorded in all four accounts.  Having four different writers to write from four different vantage points to four different audiences (obviously all by inspiration) enriches the single account of…

Some of the speakers were absent but still sent videos to support the effort to mock Christianity. Speakers included Bill Maher, Adam Savage (co-host of Mythbusters) and David Silverman (president of American Atheists). Silverman…

Scripture teaches that Satan does not show partiality in his efforts to tempt and trip men and women, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters to yield to and follow his deceptive attempts.  The devil is constantly walking about, constantly roaring like a lion, constantly seeking whom he may devour (1 Pet. 5:8).  He’s still using the same tools that…

The importance of verbal inspiration of the Bible can hardly be over emphasized. When God revealed His message to mankind, He did it by ensuring that every word in that message precisely expressed His thoughts. Think about how He “verbally inspired” every word on the tablets of stone at Mt. Sinai. His finger chose every word and wrote every letter. A question…

If you are reading these words, you are probably in a minority among Christians.  That is not a pessimistic statement, but one of observation and deduction.  Not all Christians attend Sunday morning worship; fewer come to Bible study and evening assemblies; still fewer actually bring a Bible with them to services; still fewer actually open their Bible during the services, etc.  If…
