Article about Role of Scripture in America's Founding

Just read a good article about the importance of a biblical foundation has had on our country. I would suggest you read the article to see how the author lays out his argument.

The most intriguing aspect of his article is how he adeptly argues that a democracy without a spiritual grounding is doomed to failure. We are seeing the slow decline of our culture as an ethic grounded in Scripture and God's providence is replaced with a secular humanist worldview the is based upon "rights" that somehow appeared without any grounding in God.

Christianity is first and foremost about God doing for man what he could not do for himself.  Jesus came and died for all who would believe in His death on the Cross as our substitute. Along with that faith in Him, God calls us to live responsibly, provide for our family, care for those in need, and to love our neighbor.

This is the kind of article that should serve as a reminder to all believers that our worldview must be shaped by Scripture. Once we let other influences be the primary filter of how we view the world, we will slide into an ethical pit from which we can never recover.

Hope Women's Center Banquet Follow-Up

I wanted to give a follow-up to the banquet which occurred April 4. We met our giving/pledge goal at the banquet this year! God graciously has provided needed resources to not only continue the ministry at Hope, but there appears to be opportunity to consider expansion and try to reach more women who desperately need hope.

If you attended and gave, thank you. If you would like to know more about Hope and join the fight to defend the helpless and provide hope to women who feel trapped, go to Friends of Hope and give today. This is a ministry that First Baptist Church at Weston wholeheartedly supports.

If you are pregnant or if you have had an abortion in the past, you can find help and hope here. Go to There Is Hope to learn more.

Hope Women's Center Dinner

Hope Women's Center is a ministry in Broward County Florida that helps women and families who are considering abortion to consider and choose life. Unlike abortion mills that claim to be "pregnancy centers", Hope does not use pressure. Instead, we choose to use ultrasound pictures, God's Word, and the truth about the unborn child to speak to these women.

Last night, Home Women's Center held our annual dinner at Signature Grand with Pam Tebow as the keynote speaker. As you may know, Pam Tebow is the mother of former Florida Gator Quaterback and current Denver Bronco Tim Tebow. Setting aside all of the Gator references, she did an excellent job.

She is not a "power" speaker or even a motivational style speaker. What she does really, really well is to share her family's story and the Gospel authentically. There is a depth of sincerity and wisdom as she talks about how she was advised to abort "Timmy" early in the pregnancy. If you were unable to attend, I hope you will find an opportunity to hear Pam Tebow.
