Colorful Voice of God
by Retha Groenewald

"You have one opportunity to prove to me God Speaks to us," the chairman said. "On the table are three different objects you can choose from. These objects are to be used with your Bible. We will convene here, in the boardroom, on Monday morning. Each of you will have 10 minutes to convince me that God speaks. The meeting was adjourned.

John and Peter rushed to the table. John grabbed the laptop, and Peter grabbed the Bible software. Jeremiah was left with a set of colored pens.

The three had a busy weekend with little sleep....and it was Monday. Once again they were sitting around the boardroom table. The chairman looked across the table at the three candidates: "John, you may begin. Your ten minutes starts now. Confidently John stood up and began his presentation using the laptop to present a beautifully, organized slideshow. The chairman clapped his hands after the presentation, and John sat down, satisfied.

"Peter, you are next." Peter stood up, and if possible, he was more confident than John. The chairman also clapped his hands when Peter finished his presentation.

"Jeremiah, it is your turn." When Jeremiah stood up, the other two sniggered when they saw what he had in his hands…colored pens and his Bible.

"Sir," Jeremiah addressed the chairman, "May I ask my colleagues some questions during my presentation?" Surprised and intrigued the chairman agreed.

Jeremiah cleared his throat, and said, "I know God speaks to us. The question I needed to answer was how. How do I prove it? This weekend was probably the greatest adventure of my life. God spoke to me in a new and empowering way. I would like to show you today how God is speaking to you and me, every time we open our Bibles.

"John, do you want to hear God's voice?" "Of course," John replied."What about seeing when God is speaking to us?"

"What," John asked surprised. "God speaks in different ways to us every day, wherever we are. The Bible is full of His words," Jeremiah explained, opening his Bible. His Bible had various colored markings on the pages. John and Peter burst out laughing.

Jeremiah smiled, opening his Bible to Luke 18 verses 16 and 17. "The Bible tells us that we should receive the kingdom of God like a child."

"What does the verse have to do with God speaking to us, and us hearing God's voice," the chairman asked.

"The Bible verse was very relevant to me, because the tools I had in my hand were the tools of a child…coloring pens." Jeremiah replied. "The words are the words Jesus Christ spoke. I marked all His words with the color red."

"So what," Peter said sarcastically. "There are many Bibles with Jesus' words marked in red."

"True," Jeremiah continued calmly. "These words in red prove that Jesus speaks to us. Jeremiah turned to the Old Testament. "I have chosen the color of royalty, purple, to mark where God speaks directly in first person," he continued. "God also speaks to us through visions, dreams and angels. Those words I marked with blue. When somebody speaks on God's behalf in the third person, I marked the words with the color brown, and when a passage refers to God speaking, I marked it with green. God also speaks to us through His miracles. I have chosen the color gold for all God's miracles and different acts of God."

The chairman couldn't contain the excitement anymore. "In other words, this written proof shows us, not only that God speaks to us, but how much He speaks to us. Jeremiah, you have truly proven that God speaks to us. I can see it with my own eyes. You have created a God Speaks Bible. We need to share this."

"What about when you don't have your Bible with you," Peter asked. Jeremiah smiled,

"We develop an app for tablets and phones for people to use."

The alarm went off, waking Jeremiah from his dream. "What a strange dream," Jeremiah thought getting out of the bed. "It would be wonderful to have such a Bible. I wonder if my dream can come true." Jeremiah stepped on something. He looked down. "What is a purple pen doing on the floor?"

COSTA MESA, CA (ANS) -- Janette Smith Manderson, the daughter of Pastor Chuck Smith, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, California, has issued an urgent prayer request for her father who is battling lung cancer.

Chuck Smith in a message posted on Facebook, she wrote: "Update on my dad: Prayer warriors, it is time to put on your armor and fight in the spiritual arena. Dad's doctors just upgraded his lung cancer from Stage 3 to Stage 4, due to the fluid in his lung. This fluid contains cancer cells. He just had the fluid removed for the second time.

"He will enter the hospital on July 1st to have more fluid removed (which will take two days) and a CAT scan to see if his lung is expanding. If his lung does not expand, he will have to have a catheter installed in the lung area to help him to empty the fluid at home. If his lung does expand, they will put talc into his lung to keep the fluid from forming.

"The talc procedure is simpler and preferable for various reasons. Please ask the Lord for His perfect plan for Dad to be accomplished. We trust our Heavenly Father to know best. Thank you eternally for praying."

It was on Sunday (January 1, 2012, when many in the congregation at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, California, were shocked and surprised when Pastor Chuck Smith announced during the morning services that he has lung cancer. Read more at ASSIST News Service

Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart by Bob Dowell, PhD

Dr. Bob invites readers to peruse the Bible in PROSEPOE, the new and unique approach utilized in Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart. He explains that prose speaks to the head, that poetry speaks to the heart, and that PROSEPOE—the juxtaposing of prose and poetry—speaks to both the head and heart simultaneously, thereby providing a perfect format for communicating the dual dimension of Bible narrative, its informational dimension and its spiritual dimension. PROSEPOE enhances the head's understanding of what it hears and the heart's understanding of what it feels.

Believing his work to be providentially guided, Dr. Bob labored ten years bringing to fruition Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart. Because of length, it is divided into three parts (Part One: The Old Testament, Part Two: Matthew through Acts, and Part Three: Romans through Revelation). The work is interpretive Bible summary employing the new genre PROSEPOE, whereby each chapter is dually presented, first in prose then in poetry, for purposes of connecting head and heart in dual understanding.

Dr. Bob views Bible narrative as two dimensional, an informational dimension and a spiritual dimension, thus lending itself perfectly to the PROSEPOE dual interpretative format. The spiritual dimension can be communicated more effectively through poetic mode because the poet's focus is on experience, on engaging the heart. And is not the spirit more effectively engaged through the heart?

For example, when Jesus addresses the apostles with the question—"Who do you say I am?"—And Peter correctly answers—"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God"—Jesus replies—"Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man [through the head], but by my Father in heaven [through the heart]" (Matt 15: 15-17). As Paul later testifies, "it is with your heart that you believe" (Rom 10:10).

Premise: spiritual understanding comes primarily through the heart, and the heart is more readily touched through poetry, a genre known to have done so through the ages. Thus, I submit poetry, by nature experiential, a prudent choice for communicating the spiritual dimension of Bible narrative. Prose explains. Poetry transports. Together, as PROSEPOE, they connect head and heart!

Check out Dr. Bob's PROPOSE theory by viewing it in practice. For a quick sampling of Part One: The Old Testament, the chapter on Jonah entitled "The Big Fish that Swallows" is recommended; for a quick sampling of Part Two: Matthew through Acts, the chapter on John entitled "In the Beginning" is recommended; and, for a quick sampling of Part Three: Romans through Revelation, the chapter on James entitled "Faith without Works" is recommended.

Christian Author Grace D. Balogun

She Must Be Silent by multi-published Christian author Grace D. Balogun speaks of The Great Commission that is bestowed on both men and women. The Great Commission has been given to all who believe and are faithful. Taking from Paul in Corinthians where he spoke of the need for women to be silent, the author has written a sound biblical perspective answering many questions as to why this was said by Paul. Giving the context from which he spoke, the author additionally presents to readers the position of women and their roles within church history. Taking a look back into various roles of prominent women from the Old Testament to the New Testament, the author comes to the conclusion that women are not only important in the plans and purposes of God, but are to be used mightily by God. The book culminates into discussing the Holy Spirit empowerment that is available to all and that women are to teach, preach and praise the Lord.

In this book you will learn Scripture and the prominent roles of many different women and prophetesses that were used by God. This is an educational book that gives Scripture for instruction and reproof that women are to be included within the church. Women must not be silent is the author's call and proclamation and within this all are called into the greater glory for Christ Jesus.

The subject is controversial, but clearly through Scripture the author has given the reader fresh insight into the ways of God and how women have been used of God from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Speaking the truth in love, the author exhorts women everywhere to serve and love God with all their heart while encouraging women all over the world to further themselves in a deeper intimacy and knowledge of God. A very well-written, highly recommended read for those men or women that are unsure of a woman's place within the Church.

Award winning Christian author, Dale Allan, releases A Prayer for the Devil, a provocative fast-paced murder mystery wrapped in a thoughtful meditation on the intersection of faith and justice.

From beginning to end, this political thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat. Twin brothers Luke and Aaron Miller could not lead more different lives. Aaron, a rising political star who manages the campaign of a man many believe will be the nation's next president, embraced his father's Jewish heritage. Luke, on the other hand, honored his mother's faith and entered the priesthood. When Aaron and the candidate he supports are killed in a bombing at a presidential stump speech, the Miller family's core is destroyed. Fear of a terrorist threat grips the nation, but the FBI and the press seem more focused on the death of a presidential candidate than on the other innocent victims like Aaron. Suddenly, Luke begins to feel the lure of a vengeance that is stronger than the bond of faith.

As he falls deeper into the abyss of political intrigue that surrounded his brother's mysterious professional life, Luke is tempted to break his promise to God and reassess his own sense of right and wrong. Luke's comfortable life in Boston collides with the faraway world of the Middle East as he sets out on a journey to unravel the truth behind Aaron's murder. Will he take an eye for an eye? Luke's journey through his own darkness propels him to a shocking ending that will leave readers breathless.

The Sin of Forgiveness by multi-published Christian author and lay minister/ counselor, Edward F. Mrkvicka Jr. (co-authored by his daughter, Kelly Helen Mrkvicka) explores a biblical perspective from Jesus' words regarding forgiveness. Within this, much Scripture is discussed and analyzed to firmly grasp the biblical meaning of true forgiveness. The author states that conditions of repentance must be met for this issue of true forgiveness to come forth. The author adamantly states that, ""…secular forgiveness does more harm than good. The one forgiving is never made whole again, while the sinner is left in the same wretched condition." This is an inspiring book written from a heart of compassion for those that seek biblical solutions for real-life problems.

Author Edward F. Mrkvicka has been an avid life-long Bible student and has invested many years as a lay minister and counselor. He has been awarded Best Christian Book of the Year, Best Christian Study of the Year, named a National Best Book Awards finalist, and a winner in the Christian Choice Book Awards.

His other books include Be Not Deceived (2006) - reveals truths of the free gift of salvation that is offered to all. We all have a choice and the author presents that all have free will, but this does not give a license to continue to sin. With the truth of the Word, the author speaks of what true repentance and true salvation translate to in our lives; The Prayer Promise of Christ (2010) reveals that for a true Christian willing to take the Word of God at face value, willing to do exactly as biblically instructed, there is a prayer that will always be answered as asked and No Innocent Affair (2011) gives keen insight into the ripple effect of adultery that pervades today's modern society, providing hope through repentance and forgiveness to all through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

Often there is much more that is hidden under the surface that God wants to unmask in order for one to experience life more abundantly in Him. The phrase, "peeling the layers of the onion" comes to mind as this story tells the journey of the heart and unveils the work that God does in all of us through our difficulties. As individuals may have their own "story," one will relate to this refreshing story of redemption.

This is a highly recommended must-read for those that enjoy true-to-life fiction novels that weave the redemptive theme of the transforming power of Jesus Christ. A wonderfully, well-written and encouraging fiction novel that gives hope to those that think they are at the "end."

Multi-published Christian author, Grace Dola Balogun

Forgiveness is sometimes the hardest thing that any human being must do. It is not always easy to forgive those who have offended us, done wrong to us or deeply hurt us. It is equally as difficult for us to sometimes ask others to forgive us when we have done them wrong.

Multi-published Christian author, Grace Dola Balogun, explores the issue of forgiveness from a biblical perspective. With the Scripture from the Lord's Prayer as a backdrop, "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. . . ," the author delves into why forgiveness is monumentally important for the Christian spiritually, but for emotional and physical healing as well. The author points out that unless we forgive others, the Father in Heaven cannot forgive our sins. This is a stark warning against any kind of judgment, resentment or grudges that we may wish to hold within our consciousnesses. A release of others is therefore required, which brings amazing results. Come and learn how forgiveness can impact every area of your life.

This is a highly informative read and is written with biblical wisdom. This book is recommended for new and mature believers alike and can also be used in a group Bible study setting. What is refreshing about this book is that the foundation is formed from Scripture. The author does not preach her opinions, but merely the power and authority of the Word of God in humanities' lives. If you enjoy a biblically sound teaching based on Scripture, you will enjoy this book.

Title: A Call to Love

By: Rebecca Sundberg

ISBN#978-1449786618

Review Date: April 23, 2013

Christian Book Review

9.9 out of 10.0 stars

A Call to Love by multi-published Christian author, Rebecca Sundberg, is a heart-warming novel displaying God's mighty hand and the power of Isaiah 58 (giving to others in their need), while readily revealing the theme that, "…all things work out for good" (paraphrase of Romans 8:28) throughout.

How many of us are so busy, we don't pay attention to anyone else's needs, but our own? The author has written a poignant novel of a young woman named Maddy, whose life has not been so easy as a single mom. Yet, through her trials, Maddy has trusted God and has prayed that the Lord's love might pour through her to others. She has no idea how the Lord will answer this prayer, but realizes the magnitude of this prayer as she is called to not only minister love and support throughout her hurting community, but also when she is called to aid a woman named Isobelle.

You will not want to put down the pages of this fast-paced and intriguing novel of real life drama unfolding before your eyes. This story is heart-warming and will touch the soul of everyone who reads it. It's a story of triumph over trials and displays that the Lord is good. The book invokes a sense of hope for putting your trust in God and encourages all to come into a relationship with the Lord.

This is a wonderful, intriguing drama that will leave a smile on your face.
