Satan lost the control he captured by deception from our first parents! God made a Blood Covenant with fallen mankindHe Himself became the Sacrificial Lamband thwarted the dastardly plan of the enemy to rob us of life eternal with the God of all grace, so he could hold us captives in his doomed domain of utter darkness; of unimaginable evil. the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Dont sit there and dieThe Way, The Truth and The Life is the way out, the only way. Do not be deceivedagain!!

In 2 Corinthians 11:2-3 Paul writes, I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpents cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. (NIV).When Paul expresses his concern for the church, that is, Christs bride, not to be deceived as Eve was by the Serpent, he is speaking to both men and women, because the church includes both. Yet historically it has been men who have been the appointed leaders of churches. And just as it was Adams responsibility not to allow deception to come into the garden, so it has been the same for men throughout the church age. If you do not recognize your own vulnerability as a man, and thus the vulnerability of the church, for being deceived as Eve was by the Serpent, then chances are you have already been deceived and may have now become a deceiver of others. Spiritual Widowhoods chief aim is, therefore, to present what I believe to be a crucial, if not the crucial litmus test for us, based on Scripture, for determining whether we have not only been deceived, but have now become the deceivers of others, and if found to be true what the consequences will then be for us as the church going forward.

The Gospel of John is unique among the Gospels. It proclaims Christs love in a way the others do not. It also contains a different selection of miracles and teachings from our Lord. Most importantly, John places special focus on the complete and simultaneous divinity and humanity of Messiah. This is emphasized by the account being bookended between the powerful first chapter that reveals Christ as God the Creator and Johns nine-chapter retelling of the events surrounding Jesuss passion and resurrection.Over the centuries, Christianity has become dominated by well-meaning Gentile thought as the center of world culture has moved westward and anti-Semitic prejudice has become subtly more prevalent. As a result, we have missed the rich depth of so many truths by not reading the Gospel of John from his point of view of having walked and talked with his Jewish Messiah and God in the flesh. Most commentators approach Johns Gospel with a focus on expounding on the Greek language of the text. From this point, it is easy to wander into the realm of misunderstanding because Gentiles dissecting Gentile words leads to Gentile logic and analysis imposing itself on the fulfillment of the Jewish faith.In John the Jewish Gospel, Carroll Roberson invites the reader to get to know Jesus better by examining the text of John verse by verse and passage by passage from a first-century Jewish perspective. He does this with an open Old Testament and a wealth of biblical knowledge, study, and experience ready. Carroll pays special attention to messianic prophesy and details within the text that come alive when viewed with an understanding of the culture of the time. John the Jewish Gospel is a wonderful addition to the library of anyone who seeks to grow closer to Jesus the Messiah.

Ruth leaves her comfortable, settled home in Durban, to live among a tribe of nomads in Uganda. I waved goodbye to my family at Durban airport, and flew to Nairobi. I half-hoped for a miracle mid-air to change me into the super-heroine missionaries are supposed to be. Nothing happened. I got off the plane, the same Ruth Stranex, who had been assessed by my Oxford college as not outstanding. Yet I was facing an outstandingly tough job, only possible with Gods help.Ruth has to adapt to the culture of the Pokot people: to their diet of cows blood and milk; their cattle-raiding wars; their frenzied search for water-holes. She delivers their babies, treats their malaria and sews up their spear wounds. She cleans up the infected sores left by witchdoctors trying to let out evil spirits. She challenges their goat sacrifices intended to appease an angry god. She tells them about the one sacrifice offered for them by the Lamb of God who is Love. Then, without any warning, she is arrested, driven for 2 days, between policewomen with kalashnikovs and locked in a foul cell .....Youll love her frankness and her humour. Youll wish you had friends like her African Christian friends. You may wish you had a faith like hers.

Do you believe you were born to change the world? And do you think its actually possible? These are two questions to ask yourself before you even read this book. This is because this book is for those whose aim is to make a difference in this world. Its for those who are unsatisfied with allowing darkness, injustice, and hopelessness to enslave people and who want to be part of a counter-culture attack that brings true freedom. Now, is this book for you? I will say this: We need you. We need as many people as we can get to join a generation that is called to action. Do you know Jesus and are seeking what it means to follow Him in a deeper, more radical way? Are you looking for ways to make your faith come alive? Do you want your life to have meaning? Have you longed to see Gods kingdom come? Is your soul hungry for more? Will you be willing to give whatever it takes to see transformation come to you and the people around you? In my own reflection to answer all these questions, I believe there is a key. It is something called holy passion. Its a holy passion for Jesus that fills you and causes movement in ways you have never experienced before. Embrace a new journey of holy passion in action. It will be one you will never forget.
