He gave me hope when I had no hope!
I was just pondering today about how privileged we are to have a gracious God who has loved an undeserving people like us. We did not have any hope. Pondering further I began thinking of how would it be to live a life without hope, without any thought of destiny. I suddenly got a feeling of pointlessness thinking – why …
You need to rise up!
I have been wondering about what the world will come to in the next 20 to 25 years. Yes we see strides in technology and medicine. We see every day newer parts of the universe that till today had never been known to man. We see the rise of intellect and intelligence. No doubt that in the next 25 years …
The Gospel is no fairy tale
The preacher after expounding the scripture dynamically to the church on that Sunday morning took a deep breath followed by a sip of water and proclaimed “This!, is the Gospel my dear people. God , yes God, the creator of the universe, supreme commander of the heavenly host, to whom none can compare and whose wisdom no one can match …
Being missional
Jesus has given us a mission to accomplish: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

Man was created to rule over earth with this God given authority and thus bring glory to God. However, Man sinned against God. Sinning is doing something that is against the person and will of God. God …
The Focus is on Him
Worship is an attitude. Worship is a lifestyle. Worship is what we have been created for. Worship is what we ought to do, NOT because it is our duty but it should spring out of our love for the LORD. It is our response to HIM. Worship is our reaction to who GOD is and what he has done. Worship …
To live is Christ, and to die is gain
The author of the epistle to the Philippians, Paul, was a prisoner in a roman jail. God uses Paul in this condition to inspire him to pen this letter. While the circumstances of Paul are frustrating and sad, we see a very different tone in his letter. Philippians 1:19-26 shows us the mind that Paul is in concerning his circumstance. Paul …
When growth stops, decay begins
God has created such wonderful life forms – plants, animals and man the supreme creation. Each type of creation is distinct. Yet, one thing is true about all kinds – when growth stops, decay begins. We see that in every day life. We grow from infancy to toddlers to young children to adolescents to youth to adults. Then suddenly we …
