INTERVIEW | Zaria Garrison
Zaria, describe yourself for our visitors.
I’m an author and magazine co-owner. I love to write, it keeps me sane. When things are getting to me I love to escape into the literary world either by reading or writing. Sometimes I do a little bit of both. I also love to sing, and I’m very active with my church choir and praise team. Lastly, I’m a single Mom of a teenaged son, who is also an aspiring author. He’s been published in a few Christian magazines.
The Real Battle
The Real Battle
by Pastor Eric Lambert
I feel a burden to share this with you, particularly because we are moving into the day of the supernatural and unfortunately, you and I have not been taught how to negotiate these waters of spiritual reality. Consequently, we vacillate between the land of reality (the spirit) and the land of the visible (the physical). We don’t know how to maintain spiritual stability in the spirit realm. It is from the realm of the spirit that everything originates.
Everything that occurs happens in the spirit first and then is manifested in the natural or visible realm. In fact Paul says we should not even look at the things that are visible but the things that are not seen (2 Corinthians 4:18). Why? It is the spiritual things which empower what we see.

My Father’s Eyes
THE JOURNEY
My Father’s Eyes
by Becky DeWitt
At the moment of your birth, several comments were made as to who you may have appeared to look like in your physical features. Time brought on many changes in your appearance, as you developed to favor someone else in the family. I have always been told my entire life that I looked just like one of my father’s sisters. Early in my life, many times I was mistakenly identified as her daughter. But at a recent family reunion, I heard something that I have never heard before. Someone was looking at the family pictures on the wall and said to me, “you have your father’s eyes”.
How to Become a True Christian and a Distinguished Gentleman
How to Become a True Christian and a Distinguished Gentleman by Alvin C. Romer
I was asked recently a series of questions in reference to Christian behavior and how men should carry themselves as such. During the course of eliciting a favorable and balanced answer it dawned on me that the validity of the questions caused for a more in-depth response. As I looked around taking inventory of behavior patterns in men, I found that few gave a true indication of not only being gentlemen, but Christian value either was lacking or non-existent. To be sure, Christians are expected to behave in certain ways, but does behaving in those certain ways make one a Christian? More important, if a person fails to live up to those certain behaviors, what formulaic mannerisms should they be abiding? Or, is the assessment "lesser" have any bearing on how one should live on a whole?
INTERVIEW | Minister Patricia A. Thomas
Minister Thomas, describe yourself for our visitors.
I am a servant and warrior of God who was born into the world weighing exactly 10 pounds-which is a spiritually significant and meaningful number. I am a PROUD mother of 1 child, a teenage daughter. I am also a Licensed Missionary Evangelist and Minister, who once hosted a weekly radio broadcast in Columbus, Ohio on 106.3 FM/WJYD with empowering messages entitled, “Five Minutes of a Right Now Word From God!”
I am an advocate against the Evolution Theory that is being taught to our priceless youth in public schools-which is one of the reasons why I wrote my profound and eye-opening book. I am also a graduate of The Ohio State University. I am originally from Louisiana and I currently reside in Columbus, Ohio.
