The "look." The tilt of the head. The flip of the hair. The sway of the hips. The deliberate caress of a curve. The cross of the legs. The leisurely forward lean. The titillating exposure of skin. The brush of the bottom lip. The cat-like stretch. The lingering touch . . . by the time a female reaches adulthood, she's typically been well-versed in all the classic flirt moves.

She said these words: "Wouldn't it be neat if some parents taught their children to memorize the entire book of Proverbs before they left home?" I didn't say anything, but what I was thinking was, "Oh yeah, that would be neat . . . for some other parents!"

One of the first rules for proper conversation is to avoid the topics of sex and politics. I’m about to tackle both. There’s trouble brewing in the political realm. As a result of a recent mandate by the Obama administration, the issue at hand is the future of religious liberty.

beauty, we should be motivated by stewardship: how ready is your body to serve
others?

In many ways, that is what Black History Month is to African-Americans. It is a time to remember and re-tell the story of how God moved on our behalf throughout history--eradicating slavery and opening doors
that had been closed. It is a time, once again, to testify of His mighty hand and to be in awe of His power!

Revive Our Hearts Conference--which was being held in the new IBI building. It was an impressive feat, and a physical representation of the faithful perseverance and Godward trust of the people of IBI. The building, gleaming in the warm Dominican evening, was faintly redolent of new paint. Inside were 3,000 women . . .
