    Contributed by Troy Brewer on Dec 16, 2002
    based on 101 ratings
     | 15,402 views

    It’s a word about how to hold on when it’s difficult to hold on. A word with three or four very real biblical strategies of what to think on and how to think during those difficult times when you are waiting on the power of God.

    HOW TO CELEBRATE EASTER WHEN YOU’RE LIVING GOOD FRIDAY I have heard dozens of Easter Sermons over the course of my life, and I have delivered many Easter Sermons myself.

     | 6,852 views

    The Credible Christian woman will be found if she nurtures her inner being, if she is being herself, if she is being satisfied with the occupation in which she is engaged and if she will be present to others.

It’s tied up with our biology – we keep on experiencing changes. When we first menstruate, we come to realise that we are part of a sisterhood that shares a ...read more
