A week after the Tiger Woods scandal broke many folks began saying that Mr. Woods is a sex addict. As reported recently, “Manhattan author and therapist Bonnie Eaker Weil said of Woods’ situation that repetitive cheating is an addiction. ‘What begins with a desire to relieve stress or mute depression easily progresses to a preoccupation with where their next ‘fix’ will come from.’….Pro athletes, accustomed to the rush of celebrity, often look to sex for a similar high.” The article continues: “Dr. Drew Pinsky, host of VH1’s ‘Sex Rehab With Dr. Drew,’ told CBS News that addiction ‘has people doing things that don't make sense.’ [Jaimie] Grubbs claims to have more than 300 text messages from Woods saved on her phone and has released a voicemail she says is from Woods, asking her to change the name on her caller ID, saying that ‘my wife may be calling you.’”Tiger Woods And What The Bible Teaches About Sex Addiction

The saying goes: “Behind every successful man there is a woman.” Well I believe that even behind a successful bachelor, there is a woman - a mother. Even if you look into the lives of those that have lost their mothers at an early age, there would surely be another woman – may be an aunt, a teacher, an elder sister, or a church elder who loved them just like their own. Mothers can play a vital role in shaping their children into history makers. The all important role of mothers has not changed at all over the years, but sadly, our changing culture has led to a drastic change in the way we perceive the role of a mother today. 
What change would you like to see our generation bring about to the church and the world? I believe that this generation is a generation of power. This generation will not be one of simple believers but one of worshippers who will move in God’s power of signs and wonders, establishing God’s word. Sadly in most of our churches today the youth have taken a back seat. God’s kingdom has a lot of work in conquering nations and I wish to see youngsters rise up. They don’t have to wait till they are 40 or pass out of a bible college or have a pastor’s potbelly to joke with. It’s my prayer to see a holy generation moving with great power to bring down God’s kingdom. I am sure that God would bring the next move of revival through youngsters. So youngsters! Gear up for it!
I am Sunil Rane and this is my story. I come from a Goan orthodox Hindu family. Ever since my childhood, I
had a very strong desire to learn more about God. My parents taught me
prayers that I used to chant every day while worshiping the idols
placed in our house, but I had many questions and queries which neither
my family members nor the priests in the temple could answer . . . Such was my immense craving for God that I traveled to different places just to
learn more about spirituality and meditation, I went to ashrams, I met
Gurus and I read many religious books. I was already working at that
time when in 1996, I came across a religious book exhibition where I
found some old scriptures in Hindu books called Vishnu Puran and Books
on Vedas .

Many pastors and leaders are frustrated because they do not sense the power and presence of God in their churches. Also, many people in the church are frustrated because they do not feel appreciated and released into their kingdom destiny. We think this will come automatically with prayer, fasting, healings, and great preaching. But, if pastors would help create a culture of honor in their churches and if members would learn how to respect and honor spiritual authority there would be an incredible release of the glory of God in our midst!
Our minds have a central place in
our spiritual lives. Romans 12: 2 teaches that we need to be
transformed by the renewing of our minds and that without this renewal
we cannot know God’s will. Without the knowledge of God’s will, we won’t
be able to live lives that are pleasing to God. Moreover, we are to
love God with our minds, because He created us as rational beings in
His own image and likeness and intellectual growth is an integral part
of spiritual growth. That is what we learn from the life of our Lord
Jesus Christ (Luke 2:46-47 & 52) and the lives of Daniel and his
friends (Daniel 1:4 & 17). Even in the Christian life it is very critical,
because it is a discipline that strengthens the mind and enriches the
soul. Strengthening the mind is very important, because we are to serve
the Lord, our God with all our hearts, with all our souls and with all
our minds.
