Where Women Explore God’s Love and Wonder

Planning a Women’s Retreat?

Why Settle for a Weekend Getaway?

Travel the world in seven sessions with Group’s new retreat kit.

When most churches begin planning a women’s retreat, their first step is to track down a guest speaker. Next, they may book a fancy hotel or rustic retreat center for a weekend. Regardless of the venue, the outcome is usually the same: lots of sitting, listening, and note-taking. For churches willing to trade convention for adventure, the next women’s retreat could be a passport to another world.

Why We Hurt the Ones We Love

You always hurt the one you love,

the one you should not hurt at all;

You always take the sweetest rose,

and crush it till the petals fall;

You always break the kindest heart,

with a hasty word you can’t recall;

So if I broke your heart last night,

it’s because I love you most of all.”

(Mills Brothers)

Christian One Liners

• Don’t let your worries get the best of you; remember, Moses started out as a basket case.

• Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited until you try to sit in their pews.

• Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisors.

• It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one.

• The good Lord didn’t create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close as do cockroaches.

Why Did God Give Us Emotions?

A Biblical Perspective on What
Science Has Discovered About Emotions

Recently, I requested the book, ‘Why Did God Give Us Emotions?’ from B & B Media. The subject of emotions has always intrigued me and I was very eager to read a book based on emotions, but written from a Biblical perspective.

I no sooner began reading the preface of the book and the following quote from the author jumped out at me…

Footprints in the Sand

Many of you are familiar with the poem ‘Footprints in the Sand’ …but, if you haven’t read it or would like to read it again, you can view it at the official website for ‘Footprints in the Sand.’

You Just Lost One!

Dear Satan,
I’m writing this letter to inform you that
Our relationship is officially done.
You just lost one.
Because for too long I’ve battled in my mind
Your voice vs God vs mine.
For too long I’ve entertained the same thoughts as Cain
Like how truthfully my flesh loves to be first.
How my pride tries to cover and hide

The Salvation Poem

What if we taught people a poem that could lead them to Christ and in turn help them to lead others to Jesus Christ as well? What if we utilized rhyme and music to make it even easier to remember?”

A Passionate Christian Woman

by C. M. Woychik

What does a passionate Christian woman look like? Well, she’s not a woman who’s perfect, peerless or guiltless, but is as human as you and me. Essentially, a passionate Christian woman is someone who has a deep passion for the things of God and is driven to do something about it.
