Book Review: Becoming A King - Courtesy Of Struik Christian Media

Becoming A King Morgan Snyder does a great job in speaking to men in this book. In chapter nine he claims to be a very introverted person but throughout this book, one would find that he is so much more. It's not for the faint-hearted, as he brings his own life into the light, admitting his mistakes but also at the same time acknowledging his achievements that would never have been accomplished without a relationship with God.  He's quite open about his life, marriage, ministry and as a parent in this post modern era that we live in. Snyder brings more than two decades of experience to the fore as he communicates in brilliant ways the plan God has for restoring the masculinity of a man's heart.  'Finding the ancient path' as he explains it, is in understanding how God operates in the way he has created man. The age we live in has taken much away from man when it comes to his manliness and he goes on to explain how God chooses to restore that with man. Ch

Where You There ?

                 Where You There ? Tell me what did you see ? Where you there ? To see His hands and feet laid bare How could you dare To put my Lord there ? I'm guilty too And so are you For our lives He bought Whilst the great battle He fought Have we not failed To put Him on the cross He was nailed too Have we no fear To use that spear ? To  pierce His side Oh Lord, why can't I hide ? For us He died Where you there ? Looks to me you didn't care! Did you use that hammer ? Did you pound in the nails ? He took it in for us all Because of that dreadful Fall Tell me, where you there ? Maybe not, but yes! We Were There! Because He remembered us fair. For on that Cross He hung, As Redemption's song was finally sung. __________________________________________ I've had a passion for poetry for as long as I can remember.

Weep For The Things That Break The Heart Of The Lord

“As soon as I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven” (Nehemiah 1:4) Unworried, indifferent, unmoved, weakened, and oblivious may be words you can use to describe the remnant in Jerusalem. Had they become comfortable in their condition? Were they clueless or did they not know why they were in that state? Like sheep, harassed and helpless in Matthew 9:36, so were these. They needed a shepherd, one who is touched and moved by their plight and one who could rescue them from their miserable situation. Even today, many people need someone to come and give them a push, someone who can turn the light on for them to see.  God has always shown us that our help comes from someone who is outside of us and Nehemiah was a type of Christ in that he lived a perfectly good life but had to leave his perfect dwelling and rescue people who were living in ruin. He was the trusted cupbearer of king Artaxerxes and

Book Review: What Is Man? Adam, Alien Or Ape? - Courtesy Of Struik Christian Media

This is an absolute masterpiece by Dr. Edgar Andrews. The way he combines science and theology together is simply amazing. He deals with the topic as his title suggests on "What is Man?" He deals with the topic of evolution and the false beliefs associated with it. He deals with the topic at hand easily putting it into layman's terms that allows those who aren't interested in the mechanical workings to understand what is being said around the subject matter. The book is neatly divided in three parts namely, 'Man and the Cosmos', 'Man and the Biosphere' and 'Man and the Bible.' As much as he deals with the scientific areas of evolution, he is that much brilliant with the theological side, giving so much more evidence for creation. He is on par with other Biblical teachers on the same subject such as Dr. Kent Hovind, J. Warner Wallace (Cold Case Christianity) and Dr. Ken Ham from Australia. He also deals with the birth, death and resu
