"Untamed" - review of the book by Lisa Harper
Too often Christian women wonder if they can really trust Jesus to truly be there for them in the midst of the struggles and dounts of daily life - because they think of Him as an almost effeminate and a way-too-gentle figure that just doesn't seem able to hold up to all that life can throw at us.
But is that really how Jesus is? Or is He a vital, bold God-Man Whose strength and passion are far more than sufficient to meet any struggle, any situation?
In a nutshell, Lisa Harper has penned a remarkable book that really digs into the heart of the "wild side' of Jesus - and how we can tap into that in a thoughtful and practical manner.

Taking Off The Trappings Of Death - a review of "Lazarus Awakening" by Joanna Weaver
What significance does the resurrection of Lazarus have for
us? Was it just a demonstration of the power of God? Was it just meant to stun
and amaze those who witnessed it? What does this mean to you, to me - to every
Christian?
Joanna Weaver, in this third "unplanned" book of
her Bethany trilogy - "Lazarus Awakening: Finding Your Place in the
Heart of God" - explores the significance of the third member of
the trio of friends in Bethany whom "Jesus loved" - Mary, Martha -
and Lazarus, their brother.
On Camping's False Prophecy... (Love One Another)
"The day for the rapture came and went - and I'm still here!"
Today, thousands of people - the distraught followers of a false prophet who predicted the Rapture of the saints on a specific date and time - are realizing the folly of the lies they believed with impunity.
Many people in the secular media and even in some religious media, and in particular on social media such as Facebook, are laughing at these folks today - taunting, cackling, making profane jokes at the expense of these folks and their now defunct leader.
What should the Christian response be to this event? Can we join in the derision and laughter, or should we be doing something else?

A New Day Dawning!
We sincerely apologize for the spotty updates to this blog over the past few weeks, but our hands and plates have been quite full!
As some of our readers have been aware, our church, Friendship Baptist Church, had to close its doors this past Sunday. As a result, after a great deal of prayer and discussion since last Autumn, a new home church has been founded, to be known as Agape Gospel Fellowship.
Since this blog is an arm of that ministry, we will be expanding and changing a few things here on the blog as things develop in the new church group.
Please pray for us, for the group that is forming the core of this new fellowship of believers.
Thank you and God bless you!
