‘Locator’ chips in Texas student IDs stirs religious controversy

AUSTIN, Texas - To 15-year-old Andrea Hernandez, the tracking microchip embedded in her student ID card is a "mark of the beast," sacrilege to her Christian faith - not to mention how it pinpoints her location, even in the school bathroom.

Rivera has his church far away from home

We can safely say Hinesville is quite a distance from Camuy, Puerto Rico. Pastor Miguel Rivera of the Iglesia Hispana Faro de Luz/Lighthouse Hispanic Church of Hinesville knows, as he is a native of Camuy. "I arrived in Hinesville to visit my daughter, and while visiting a Hispanic church here, the pastor there gave me confirmation of message the Lord had given to me three months before of a change in my ministry," he said. ...

In everything give thanks

A few days ago, this nation paused for a moment to give thanks. We celebrated Thanksgiving, a day this country's forefathers set aside to give thanks to God for His help and bountiful harvest. Families, friends and even strangers got together to enjoy the blessings from the Lord. However, I'm convinced that every day ought to be a day of thanksgiving. God does not want our thanksgiving to be limited to one Thursday in November. ...

New center to exemplify social legacy of Martin Luther King Sr.

ATLANTA - The father of Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered as a prominent Atlanta preacher and civil rights leader. But as a young man from a poor sharecropping family in rural Georgia, he is said to have walked north to Atlanta barefoot so he didn't wear out his only pair of shoes.

Are we really making disciples?

In "Help, I'm Lost," I retell a shared account. A new resident attended church where the sermon emphasis was a social issue. At the conclusion, the preacher asked, "Are you saved?" The lady was in a quandary. She didn't hear anything about salvation until this question.

A grateful nation says thanks

Today, as we remember our veterans, I am reminded that Jesus once taught, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13).

Honor of veterans comes in many forms

They fight to protect our country, and today, we give them a special salute. Our veterans make countless sacrifices every day to protect us. These courageous men and women of the armed services go beyond the call of duty to protect our freedoms and ensure we live in a safe country. They frequently must leave their own families to deploy to foreign countries so our families can be protected. Their efforts are not in vain, ...

What is worth investing in?

The other day, as I was walking past my mailbox, I took a long look at it. It is old, faded and slides a little bit forward when one opens it.

Remember all fathers on their day

God sent his Son to pay a debt that man could not and cannot pay - the debt of sin.

A father's love in action

Father's Day does not receive the recognition that Mother's Day receives personally or commercially. Personally, I think Father's Day should have a greater appreciation and a greater recognition based on a biblical prospective.

Why not let God restore your soul?

Last week, I wrote that I have been preaching through the 23rd Psalm. I would like for you to consider an idea from that Psalm that remains a powerful image in my mind.

Seek the word of the Lord

Last week, we began looking at the idea of putting our faith in God. Some people have a problem with this, for they trust only in themselves. Much of this comes from humanistic teaching in our schools today. Our young people are faced with instructors who do not believe in the Bible. Generations are being reared to believe that man has all the answers. This false idea makes it difficult for religious teaching to be accepted.
