Has God Spoken? by Hank Hanegraaff
I received this book for free from Book Sneeze to review. This work read very academic. I felt I was back in seminary but it was a good feeling. The resources and encouragement to study God’s Word and put it into practice was great. I’ve never listened to Hank Hanegraaf on the radio but this work was excellent. Has God Spoken? is the third edition of a trilogy of books dealing with the issue of origins. The Face That Demonstrates the Farce of Evolution and Resurrection are the first two volumes. It is in this current volume he breaks it up using the acronym M-A-P-S to demonstrate that the Bible is divine: Manuscript Copies- Archaeologist’s Spade – Prophetic Stars – Scriptural Lights. I appreciate the final challenge of the author to memorize, meditate, and mine the Bible for all its wealth. I would highly recommend this work to serious students of the Bible.
As Silver Refined by Kay Arthur
This is a great Christian work in my eyes to anyone, male or female, on the journey of ministry especially in the local church. The subtitle of this book is accurate, “Answers to Life’s Disappointments.” This edition also includes a thirteen-week companion Bible study which goes along with each chapter. Every Monday morning when you want to throw in the towel and you have that letter of resignation ready to hand in, you read the words of encouragement flowing out of this work from one who has been on the front lines of ministry for years. The realization you have been called to something much greater than what you see in this present situation. I know it is relevant to many others outside of the pastorate but because I’m in full-time pastoral ministry I feel it really Biblically addresses issues I have to deal with on a regular basis. The ups and downs of ministry are seen a means of God refining us to trust Him and not rely on our own abilities and talents. We are disappointed often and too many times take it personally. This work helps put things back into perspective. We are being shaped by our God who uses tragedies, disappointments, and fears to mold us more into His image. What may be a disappointment in our eyes is often a part of God’s ultimate plan for us to depend upon Him more fully. The chapter titles like When you feel you’re a failure; Present failures, Past Regrets; Facing the Stress; and A Call to Courage challenged me to rely upon my faith in the God of the Universe more than ever. This book gives great insight into God’s hand at work in my everyday lives. Are you ready to be refined? It is available for us all but we must be willing participants to endure the pain of this life knowing that on the other side is a joy like none other.

Abraham Lincoln on Integrity
Throughout his administration, Abraham Lincoln was a president under fire, especially during the scarring years of the Civil War. And though he knew he would make errors of office, he resolved never to compromise his integrity. So strong was this resolve that he once said, “I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.” Today In The Word, August, 1989, p. 21

Protect Our Children by Thom Rainer
Those who have read my articles or heard me speak probably know at least two things about me: I’m an avid college football fan, and I am devoted to my family. I have always respected the football tradition of Penn State. But the university’s sexual abuse scandal has saddened and angered me, because it is everyone’s job to protect our children.
In Coach Joe Paterno’s case, he reported the alleged abuse to his “chain of command,” and apparently absolved himself of responsibility. But those to whom he reported apparently chose to protect their university and themselves rather than the child involved. If that is the case, it's wrong -- and something churches must avoid.
It doesn’t take a football fanatic or a genius to figure out the right thing to do -- in all cases -- is to protect our children. It is inconceivable to me that someone could witness sexual abuse and then simply report it and leave it to their supervisors. The right response is to intervene by force at the moment, and with the police immediately thereafter.
I write for church leaders, not ESPN. So let me say clearly that church leaders are responsible for protecting all the children who come into our places of worship. It’s our job to teach them about Jesus’ love for them, and we must also protect them from potential predators.
The National Sex Offender Public Website (nsopw.gov) reported in 2009 only 30 percent of cases are reported to authorities. That means more than two-thirds of abuse cases are not reported, so that's where we as church leaders start.
Pastors, youth leaders, lay leaders: if you suspect, or if someone reports to you, the possibility that one of your workers or volunteers is or has abused a child in your care, stop reading this article and immediately contact your local police. I understand how difficult that might be for you, for your church, for those involved, but your first concern should not be for yourself or even your local church, but your charge is to protect our children. It's not your job to determine the validity of a claim of abuse. That's the job of the police. It's your job to call them. Immediately.
Protecting children also means preparing for their protection by taking some simple but absolutely necessary steps that will avoid problems before they occur.
1. Conduct a background check on every current and future worker. LifeWay partners with BackgroundChecks.com to offer this service. Never involve someone in ministry without a background check.
“Of all the crimes against children in the U.S. every year, thousands will occur within the walls of churches and youth centers,” said Matthew Robbins with BackgroundChecks.com. “With crime and abuse at an all time high, churches must develop hiring programs that work to prevent dangerous situations before they occur.”
2. Implement a 6 months/2 people rule. This simple policy states that anyone working with children or youth must be an active member of your fellowship for at least six months before assuming a position of leadership, and that there will be at least two adults in the room with minors at all times. This rule extends outside the walls of where you hold your services, to include no unescorted car rides home. As inconvenient and radical as this approach may sound, these two guidelines show predators your children are not easy targets at your church.
3. Conduct regular mandatory staff and volunteer training. Bring in experts to educate you and your workers about safety “to-dos” and how to recognize the signs of a predator. Almost every denomination has resources available to help fight the scourge of sexual predators.
4. Require all volunteers to submit an application to serve. This process may seem like a formality, but a proper workflow ensures that the right staff sees every application before placing the responsibility and safety of our children into someone else’s hands. This simple step should be followed up with a face-to-face interview. Churches hold auditions for their worship team. Why not do so for your children’s ministry volunteers?
5. Pray for your workers. Pray for your children. And, pray God will provide the right people.
No church, no ministry, and no denomination is exempt from the risk of predators seeking to harm those who are most vulnerable. It’s our responsibility as leaders to decide foremost to protect our children.
So, let your first impulse be to protect children, not reputation. When that is the priortiy, all else is secondary. Penn State missed that and more children suffered. Make sure your church never makes the same mistake.

Pat Robertson Remarks on Alzheimer’s Stir Passions by Erik Eckholm
The Rev. Pat Robertson’s suggestion that a man whose wife was “gone” with Alzheimer’s should divorce her if he felt a need for new companionship has provoked a storm of condemnation from other Christian leaders but a more understanding response from advocates of families facing the shattering disease.
On his television show, “The 700 Club,” on Tuesday, Mr. Robertson, a prominent evangelical who once ran for president, took a call from a man who asked what he should say to a friend whose wife was deep into dementia and no longer recognized him.
“His wife as he knows her is gone,” the caller said, and the friend is “bitter at God for allowing his wife to be in that condition, and now he’s started seeing another woman.”
“This is a terribly hard thing,” Mr. Robertson said, clearly struggling with the subject matter. “I hate Alzheimer’s. It is one of the most awful things, because here’s the loved one — this is the woman or man that you have loved for 20, 30, 40 years, and suddenly that person is gone “
“I know it sounds cruel,” he continued, “but if he’s going to do something, he should divorce her and start all over again, but to make sure she has custodial care, somebody looking after her.”
When Mr. Robertson’s co-anchor on the show wondered if that was consistent with marriage vows, Mr. Robertson noted the pledge of “’til death do us part,” but added, “This is a kind of death.”
He said the question presented an ethical dilemma beyond his ability to answer. “I certainly wouldn’t put a guilt trip on you if you decided that you had to have companionship, you’re lonely, you have to have companionship,” Mr. Robertson said.
The reaction from many evangelical leaders, who see traditional marriage as the cornerstone of morality and society, was harsh and disbelieving.
“This is more than an embarrassment,” Russell D. Moore, dean of the School of Theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., wrote in a blog post on Thursday. “This is more than cruelty. This is a repudiation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
But Beth Kallmyer, senior director of constituent services at the Alzheimer’s Association in Chicago, declined to question Mr. Robertson’s remarks.
“This is a challenging, devastating and eventually fatal illness, and it affects everybody differently,” she said. “The most important thing is that families get help.”
In the association’s experience, she said, it is rare for people to get divorced because of Alzheimer’s. “Families tend to rally round and support the patient,” she said.
But Alzheimer’s, compared to many other fatal diseases, can go on for years, progressively worsening.
“The decisions people make are personal,” Ms. Kallmyer said. If a caller to the association’s helpline asked if it was reasonable to date someone else, she said, “we wouldn’t say one way or another — we’d walk them through their situation.”
Mr. Robertson helped make the Christian Coalition into a formidable political force in the 1990s and is a popular televangelist. But he has also stirred hostility from fellow Christians over the years with unorthodox statements, including a defense of China’s one-child population policy at one point and stating that dire events like the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the Haiti earthquake were punishments from God.
“Few Christians take Robertson all that seriously anymore,” Mr. Moore wrote. “Most roll their eyes and shake their heads when he makes another outlandish comment.”
Wondering what you think about these statements by Pat Robertson. Please share your thoughts. I want to say so much but will restrain to allow others to comment first.

6 Characteristics of Spiritual Leadership by John Piper
In 2 Samuel 10 the king of the Ammonites has died and his son, Hanun, ruled in his place. David wanted to show kindness to Hanun so he sent his delegates to express consolation to the new king for the loss of his father. But Hanun was convinced by his princes that David's intent was evil, so he humiliated the delegates and sent them away. David was very angry about this, and when the Ammonites heard about his anger, they sent for help to the Syrians to build an offensive against Israel. When David heard this he sent Joab and all the mighty men against the Ammonites. As it developed, the Ammonites were arrayed at the walled city to protect it, the Syrians were gathered in the open field, and Joab, with the Israelites, were sandwiched in the middle.
So Joab took charge of one group of men and set himself against the Syrians, and the rest of his men he put in the charge of Abishai, his brother, and set them against the Ammonites. In verses 11 and 12 Joab gives this great word of challenge and faith to Abishai:
If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come and help you. Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people and for the cities of our God, and may the Lord do what seems good to him.
What a vision for teamwork. There are six things in the word of Joab that I think should characterize every effort at team ministry in the church.
1. Humility
First of all, humility. "If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me." Joab was a mighty warrior, but not so foolish as to think himself wholly self-sufficient. "Abishai, my brother, I might be inadequate for the task today." And he was not ashamed to ask for help. Humility willingly acknowledges its own finitude and need. It is open to be helped, and it is open to being taught, and it does not resent good advice or counsel.
2. Diversification
The second characteristic of team ministry illustrated by Joab is diversification. Abishai was sent against the Ammonites; Joab went against the Syrians. It is wise battle strategy, when the enemy is widespread and diverse, that we not engage all the troops in one place. It is also wise to have everyone doing most of the time what they are best at. And it is a solid biblical principle that God has given all of us different combinations of gifts.
3. Mutual Helpfulness
The third characteristic of good team ministry is mutual helpfulness. "If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come and help you." Diversification in the church is not so ironclad th
at we can't leave our appointed bailiwicks and help one another. Fundamental to all successful teamwork is that the team members be for each other, not against each other. Competition in ministry is anathema to the Spirit of Christ.
4. Strength
The fourth characteristic of effective team ministry is strength. "Be of good courage and let us play the man." More literally, the Hebrew simply says, "Be strong and let us show ourselves strong!" When the battle begins, do not limp away weak and fearful. Attack! "Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." (Ephesians 6:10) The power that we need does not come from within ourselves. It is the strength of God's might with which we must be strengthened. When we put on God's armor, we get God's strength.
5. Benefit to God's People
"For our people and for the cities of our God!" Joab said. Even though it must be our goal to help each other, yet we must always ask, "Help each other do what?" And the answer is, "Benefit God's people." No Christian team lives for itself alone. We strive for gospel humility, we employ our diversification, we live in mutual helpfulness, we maintain strength not for ourselves alone but for the benefit of God's people.
6. Surrender to God's Sovereign Guidance
There is one final characteristic of team ministry that Joab illustrates: surrender to God's sovereign guidance. "Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people and for the cities of our God, and may the Lord do what seems good to him!" And may the Lord do whatever seems good to him. O, may we always approach our work in this way, bowing together before God and saying: "God, we aim to be humble, to be diversified, mutually helpful, strong in the Lord, working hard for the benefit of your people, but, O God, we acknowledge you are sovereign and we are finite, and we would say no more than Joab: in all our plans and all our labor, you do what seems good to you!"

The Little Red Book of Wisdom by Mark DeMoss revised edition
I just finished this book provided by Book Sneeze to review. It was a quick read with very practical insights on how to live a daily life in Christ. The book keeps the reader engaged by giving powerful examples not only of personal experiences of the author, but of real life, high profile individuals. The lessons they learned in making the wise choice in some cases were profound. Credit for these choices often stems back to a faith relationship in the God of the Bible. This faith relationship isn’t overly used but is encouraged by the author to have. His faith is extremely evident and helps challenge anyone else who may wonder why they are having so much difficulty with perspective in this life. Mark DeMoss’ experiences in the public relation field helps gives the reader reason to have a compass to navigate one’s life. He has seen a wide range of individuals trying to put their best foot forward, yet unless it is authentic and real, it only causes a person to fail every time. I would highly recommend this book for the sheer practicality of seeing ourselves for who we are, especially in Christ. This book doesn’t pull any punches. Its instruction is straightforward in how we need to examine ourselves and others, and the situations in which we find ourselves. We need books like this every once in a while to steer us back on course. This book can be summed up by a quote of Max Lucado’s in the final chapter which states, “You can afford many wrong choices in life. You choose the wrong career and survive, the wrong city and survive, the wrong house and survive. But there is one choice that must be made correctly, and that is your eternal destiny (189).” May we all choose the path less travelled.

The Fight of Our Lives by William J. Bennett and Seth Leiboshn
I just finished this interesting book. It is a non-fiction, and it is written on a topic about which I don’t normally read books. However, I do try to stay current on what’s happening around the world through daily newspapers and cable news, so it was not completely unfamiliar information to me. The Fight of Our Lives is by William J. Bennett and Seth Leiboshn. You might be more familiar with them through their “Morning in America” radio show where they deal with political issues of the day.
This book challenged me to re-examine some of my viewpoints of the current administration and its foreign policy. However, I was disappointed by how outdated it seemed, even though it just came out a month ago. I felt as though I was reading an old newspaper or magazine. During the reading of this book, new facts about the pending withdrawal of 30,000 troops from Afghanistan came out and we also received the news of Osama Bin Laden being killed. But I understand it is difficult to write a book on this topic and get it into the hands of the reader before it becomes outdated or even inaccurate information.
I did appreciate the facts concerning the religion of Islam and how past and current administrations have tip-toed around the subject trying not to offend anyone. We need to speak truth, and I sensed the writers gave great insight, such as, “Those who wished to practice their religion here were welcome and free, provided they also followed the laws of the land, remained peaceful, and gave ‘effectual support’ to their country (108).” A powerful point is made in this book that I’ll end with: “Millions of Muslims never take up arms, engage in terrorism, or defend such violence. They should, however, be the first to loudly and unconditionally denounce their coreligionists who do. There are Muslims doing this, and we have the highest praise for their courage and moral clarity. But there are not enough (141).” We of all faiths need to speak truth about the violence and call it for what it is. Who is brave enough among us to stand up? Our American troops around the world are! For that, I am very thankful.

You Were Born for This by Bruce Wilkinson
I was truly inspired once again by Bruce Wilkinson’s writing. His way of tying scripture and grabbing ahold of one’s heart challenges readers to wonder why is it so hard to believe in miracles or the supernatural at work around us. Why aren’t these things happening on a regular basis in my life? The book has caused me to honestly re-examine the everyday situations I find myself in: whether it is driving to the store, talking on the phone, walking in the neighborhood, or counseling a young couple for marriage. I’m finding myself pausing to ask questions and being more aware of what is happening around me through the eyes of the Holy Spirit. These instances, I used to easily take for granted and not respond to, or if I did it would be by my understanding.
Bruce breaks down what he calls key questions and signals in a very simple way to respond to situations God places us in with the power of the Holy Spirit in order that we might be a partner in His miracle. Bruce writes, - “God is constantly at work in supernatural ways in our world, and He has much He wants to get done.
- God is actively looking for loyal partners—people who consistently care about what He cares about.
- God is regularly nudging people to respond, but most people miss His intentions or simply say no.”
He describes seven keys which fall into two groups. The first group Special Delivery, which applies to specific needs and the second group, Miracle Life, which describe internal actions that prepare you for a life of miracles. He chooses to deal with the Miracle Life group first in the book which includes Master, People, Spirit and Risk Keys. He writes, “These can become a habit that will radically change how you see the world and how you partner with God in the supernatural realm (49).” The Special Delivery group includes Money, Dream, and Forgiveness Keys. He describes these keys as external actions we take that lead to a miracle breakthrough for another person (49).”
Often times, I do not believe myself to be worthy of participating in a miracle for God or I see it as totally beyond me from participating, but this book helps the me to understand He is longing to do great things through me by the power of the Holy Spirit. We don’t need a perfect situation or opportunity or be perfectly trained. God is looking for those who are simply dependent upon Him to work through them.
At the end of the book, we are challenged by the thought, “You are a sent person (Master Key) who shares God’s heart for people (People Key) and who intentionally partners with the Spirit to do God’s work (Spirit Key) through acts of proactive dependence on Him (Risk Key) to deliver His miracle to others. So how does God see you right now? He sees you with pleasure and great anticipation (217).”
This book was a wonderful read that I’m still processing. How can I take each key and allow them to become a part of my life to see God at work through me in miraculous ways? I’m humbled by the thought. Who does God want me to go to and where does God want me to be at work next? May everywhere I go in everyday life be with the attitude of “Here Am I, Lord, send me!” Be sure to check out the online resources for this book as well for use with the discussion guide at the end of the book, http://www.ywbft.com/.
