Time's going to run out - to fix that broken relationship; to get involved in the work of God's Kingdom.

That was 59 years ago, because it was not celebrated till 16 months after she became Queen in 1952. Like a large majority of Brits, I cannot remember a time when she was not the Queen. And yet … and I really don't get this Passage of Time thing at all … I can remember as a 3-year-old watching her Coronation on next door's tiny black and white TV, along with 19 others crammed into a small living room. http://faithaliveresources.org/Products/156015/leaving-egypt.aspx 2012-04-03T14:52:24-05:00 Theologian Chuck DeGroat shows how our wilderness journey helps us face our fears, receive our new identity, experience transformation, and live into our newfound freedom. http://truewoman.com/?id=1023 2010-09-08T13:38:43-05:00 Throughout history women have sought liberation through political means, financial resources, even by way of self-actualization and mystical spiritual enlightenment. But nothing else can bring true liberation—one can only find true freedom in Christ. http://truewoman.com/?id=1243 2010-09-03T15:48:40-05:00 Meet Stacey Smith, an ex-convict who is now ministering to women in—and out of—prison. As she says in this video, there isn’t a huge difference, as all women have prisons of the heart that they need to be—and can be!—freed from. http://gospel.com/blog/index.php/2010/07/06/putting-limits-on-our-freedom-the-weaker-brother-scenario/ 2010-07-07T08:41:24-05:00 Have you ever voluntarily gave up one of your “freedoms” in order to help a stumbling fellow believer? Have you ever asked a fellow Christian to abstain from something because it caused you spiritual difficulty?
