DS BOOK REVIEW: Tozer On Worship & Entertainment by A.W Tozer
I practically advice all Christians to read this book .
This book is a collection of A.W Tozer's sermons on worship. He teaches what the true meaning of worship in its entirety focusing on its ingredients as; breathless adoration, lofty admiration, astonished reverence, awesome fascination, breathless silence and most importantly love for the One we worship.
The author tells you what worship is and what it is not. He stresses the fact that if you only worship God on Sundays, then you have not worshiped him at all. He emphasized the fundamental need of the Holy Spirit in our churches today rather than the advancement in technology an finer equipments used to get people to church.
He shows his appreciation for hymns stating how it was written by souls who were in intimate devotion with God.
More so, he sheds light on entertainment
Read the excerpt of the book below: "The critical need in this hour of the church's history is not what it is so often said to be:soul-winning, foreign missions, miracles. These are effects, not causes. The most pressing need just now is that we who call ourselves Christians should frankly acknowledge to each other and to God that we are worldly, that our moral standards are low and we are spiritually cold. We need to cease our multitude of unscriptural activities, stop running when and where we have not been sent and cease trying to sanctify carnal projects by professing that we are promoting them "in the name of the Lord" and " for the glory o God". We need to return to the message, methods and objectives of the New Testament. We need boldly and indignantly to cleanse the temple of all that sell cattle in the holy place and overthrow the tables of money changers. And this must be done in our own lives first and then in the churches of whom we are part"Purchase this book on www.amazon.com

The Australian native is on the cover of JOY! Magazine's August 2013 issue.
Read Joy! Magazine’s details on the cover muse;
On paper, Australian native Christine Caine has everything against her. She was abused by several men as a child. At age 30, she found out that she was adopted. Unnamed. Unwanted. Unclaimed.
Because of her past experiences, she struggled to establish meaningful relationships with others (especially men) and it was only through the grace of God and the perseverance of her then fiancé (now husband) Nick, that she broke that pattern. She had a miscarriage and battled for years with a crippling fear of flying (not ideal when you are a global speaker!).

"I Quit Being a Victoria Secret Model to Become a Proverbs 31 Wife" Watch TODAY's Erica Hill interview with Kylie Bisutti, Former Victoria Secret Model
In 2009, Kylie Bisutti was one of the sexiest young models, having won the coveted Victoria's Secret runway Angel crown out of 10,000 contestants at age 19. However, she left the job after finding that modeling didn't line up with her Christian values.
In May 2013, Bisutti released her memoir, I'm No Angel: From Victoria's Secret Model to Role Model.There was quite an uproar when the news broke out in the media about her quitting a coveted modeling job. Coed.com titled a post about Kylie: Victoria’s Secret Model Kylie Bisutti R.I.P. It read;
There were so many storylines surrounding the Super Bowl that you might’ve missed the earth-shattering news that the winner of the 2009 Victoria’s Secret Model Search Kylie Bisutti decided to quit modeling for the lingerie company because they’re too risque, so now she’s only modeling for granny panty companies like Sears. This is truly one of the saddest announcements we’ve ever endured. Mourn with us as we take a look at her hottest pics.
They are sure right about her death because she is now dead to sin but alive in Christ Jesus. Phil 3:8 says;
What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ (NIV)
Way to go Kylie!you are really an inspiration.

DS HOT TOPIC: Who am I to Judge? The Perfect Rhetorical Question Used to Shy Away From Defending the Word of God
I am disappointed at the way Televangelists and other christain bodies are misleading the world with their opinions about vital issues that affect the society especially when it comes to stating Gods view about various issues.
Now Pat Robertson is claiming that there are men in women body and women in men body, this is absolutely false because what he is implying is that God made a mistake when he created them.
Psalm 139:13;
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.God made our innermost parts, therefore as a female He made our organs and as male he made them, so how on earth can God make a man in a woman's body and a woman in a mans body?
I believe if you do not have an answer to a question keep quiet because anything you say that goes against Gods word you'll be held accountable on judgement day. You can give your opinion on it but your opinion is not the final authority, the word of God is.
After watching the clip on YouTube, i was distressed especially when i read a comment that read;
I'm transgendered and am working on getting into the body I was denied. I am female but unfortunately born male. Thank you pat your statement "its not for you to decide or judge" was perfect. Thank you.I replied him with this words;
And i do not get this phrase Don't Judge! or who am i to judge, because i believe it is better to reproof your neighbor or than let him face Gods wrath on Judgement day. Most of the time they are quick to quote the Mathew 7:1-5;Psalm 139: 13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.(The word of God). God made you as a male and He didn't make a mistake neither were you denied. Don't believe the lie that you are a female in a male body. I pray God will reveal Himself to you.
Do not judge or you too will be judged for in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Well, this is true but if you read further, it shows that we shouldn't judge hypocritically.
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?How can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye,when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take a plank out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye
Jesus tells us not to judge hypocritically, he didn't say we should not at all. Now, some will argue that we are not perfect, so must not judge anyone at all. If you see a child going towards fire, will you reason that the child has a reason for going there or will you say i did that when i was younger so who am i to judge this fella?Telling people not to judge others that are going astray is like wishing them ill luck on judgement day.
Proverbs 27:5 says;
Open rebuke is better than secret love.We are to reproof as Christians if not we will be held accountable.
