Editor's Notes
- We live in a sin filled world. How does this wickedness affect us as Christian’s? Does it ignite our souls, so that our hearts overflow with passion for the unprivileged, lost and broken? Do our hearts shatter because of the pain others endure, or do we turn a blind eye to atrocities and hurt because it is easier? Do we allow “someone else” to enter into the pits and aid the lost? These questions should be essential to the Christ follower. She encourages them to take up the mantle of being kingdom-ezers. In response to her reading of Half the Sky, James calls women to be aware of God’s vision for women worldwide. This means we must identify several truths. First, we must identify God’s call on women worldwide regardless of time, socio-economic conditions and extenuating circumstance. Secondly, we must identify the plights of women everywhere. Thirdly, we must steer away from thinking of Biblical messages to women pertaining only to motherhood and wifely duties.

- While these lies are often times unconscious they are directly linked to a woman’s experience as a girl. If her father was unable to love her, then she must be unlovable. Believing that God does not love you affect every other area of our lives and relationships. 2. as women, our view of God is often greatly influenced by the men we have known—particularly our fathers. The wisest, kindest earthly father is but a pale reflection of our heavenly Father.” Nancy Leigh Demoss, Lies Women Believe and the Truth that Sets them Free (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2001), 53.
