ENCOURAGEMENT FOR WIDOWS
Erika is a fairly young widow that I believe can be an encouragement to other young widows and mothers going through a similar trial in their lives.

SURRENDERING TO THE TEXT
Do we look for loopholes to what Scripture says or do we dig deep into it and surrender to what it says?
The following article explains what that means.
Do Your Hermeneutics Hold to Sola Scriptura?
by Abner Chou
WRAP-UP
A quick wrap-up of my review of the book From Death To Life: How Salvation Works by Allen Nelson IV.
Chapters 9 &10 in the book encourage evangelism, and the conclusion of the book also deals with baptism and being careful about pronouncing people saved.
The final parts of the book deal with problems with the Sinner's Prayer, the necessity for church discipline, etc.
One of the things that gave me pause is the church covenant section.
I'm very cautious about making promises while being supportive of spiritual growth and a desire for holiness.
Holiness can't be manufactured by the making of promises.
It is good to have doctrines you can affirm and to encourage people to grow.
On the whole, the rest of the book is pretty good, and I am thankful for the opportunity to read and review it honestly.
