God
by Shannon Byous
Time after time many of us hear other people's
stories: Bible stories, missionary's stories, stories
about friends of friends. Or we have our own
stories... about what happened way back when; what
happened years ago. We even hope in stories for the
future and call them dreams and vision... but what
about now?

Sometimes it seems we have to wait on God for so long. We know God
has made us certain promises. Or we’ve read about how He answers
prayers in the Bible. And, while that seems well and good, in our
case, and in our specific instance, He just doesn’t seem to be
coming through. Which always brings me to the question – Why does
God make us wait so long? Doesn’t the Bible promise that He will
answer us when we call?

The abortion issue is a hot button topic in the U.S.
to say the least. There are several states with pending abortion

Wade, which is the cornerstone of American abortion law. More
Ministering to Our Younger
Inner-City Sisters
By Violet T. Barry
As a mighty woman of God many people are looking to you to see
how you are truly living. A lot of times as women, we are planting
seeds for our other sisters without even knowing that we did. No
matter where you go, people are observing you whether it’s while you
are out and about running errands in the streets, attending classes,
on the job or interacting with your family, church and community.
There is a young lady that I met during the 2005 holiday season
because of a request made from another Sister-in-Christ who said
that a lot of the women at the church had tried to minister to this
young person but no matter what way they tried to come at her, she
kept saying that none of them could possibly understand her plight
and therefore had nothing that she wanted to hear.

I am continually amazed at the ability of the modern
press to show it's
own colors to an apparently colorblind nation. Recently there has
been
a swarm of coverage around the Gospel of Judas, an apparent recent
discovery, and insightful document concerning the relationship
between
Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot.
What the press failed to mention is the wealth of information
regarding the Gospel of Judas, it's origins, meanings, and impact on
Christianity.

“Spending time with God is
something every Christian woman should set aside time for.” Perhaps
this is a fairly common statement that we’ve heard all too often. We
all know this to be true, and yet it still seems to be a most
incredible struggle to obtain that blessed time with God each and
every day of our lives. So, how do we wear all the hats and still
have time to be still and quiet in God’s presence? More

The average consumer carries about $6,000 of credit card
debt. It's not that anyone plans to stay in debt by using a
credit card over and over. It's just that paying with
plastic is so much easier, and more fun, than shelling out
those bills and coins. Still, if you want to avoid paying
high rates of interest for this privilege and you want to
get or stay debt-free, you will probably have to take a few
proactive steps to escape this spending pitfall. More

Blood Brothers
Butch
Shramek
At one time or another we have all been to a Men’s Breakfast, where
we sit around, eat, pray and “talk”, and I am not trying to say that
any of these things are bad. I love to eat (ask those who know me),
and I love to pray. Talking? I guess it would depend on what you are
talking about. The usual conversion at these breakfasts is about the
kids, or wife, or golf. Superficial to say the least. Maybe that’s
why not too many men attend them. More
