God Cannot Be Doubted, He Is In Control - A Short Story
The jailer pushed the youth into his prison cell with utter disgust. The youth had been convicted for attempt to rape, a serious crime, and even more serious when committed in the premises of a government official’s residence. From their cells, the other prisoners gazed at the youth with astonishment and contempt. He snuggled into a corner.There were whisperings and comments in tones and terms that would send chills down the spine. And, they continued for long and long till the heavy rug of the night dampened all sight and sound. After a while,...
Your Attitude Should Be The Same As That Of Christ Jesus (Phil 2:5)
"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus" (Phil 2:5)Attitudes are our disposition towards someone or something. Our attitudes affect our character and relationships.Attitudes are important; they can either make a person or break him. Some years back a research was done on job interviewees who were successful in getting a job. The research revealed that the majority of those who got the jobs got them not because they were smart but because they had a right attitude.The Bible teaches us that God wants us to have the attitude of Christ....
Boredom - Excerpt
Excerpt from Epistemics of Divine Reality, pp.211-212Boredom or ennui may be considered to be the metaphysical turbulent emotion that arises out of the paradox of the rational sense of immutability and the empirical sense of mutation. Reason anticipates permanence, changelessness, and immutability as the quality of ultimate reality; however, for experience immutability is an impossibility. Nothing immutable is empirically conceivable; for if something doesn’t move in space, it at least moves in time. The tension between the immutable and the mutable...
4 Pillars of Spiritual Instruction
Spiritual Instruction must be a part of every home in order for each family to be strong. Following are the four pillars of Spiritual Instruction:1. Sound DoctrineThis is the RULE OF TRUTH. It provides the RIGHT PERSPECTIVE in life.Titus 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine. 2Timothy 1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which you have heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 2Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith...

A Tale of Something, or Nothing, and God
In the beginning was God and nothing.Then, God created something out of nothing.But, soon that something forgot she was once a nothing.And, forgetting herself and God, she assumed herself to be everything.And, assuming herself to be everything, she died to everything else and God.After many days, when this something had run out of everything she got,She came to her senses and "Who am I? Where am I?" she thought.Then, she realized she was a nothing without her God,And so returned to her original place in God.In the end was God and somethi...
Estrangement and Belongedness in the Ultimate Sacrifice of God
“He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name…” (John 1:10-12)The sense of belonging is an amazing epistemic quality among humans. The animal world is not without it: the lioness with her cubs, the elephant with her calves, and the eagle with her eaglets portray a picture of attachment that are the subject of many a story, movie, and a...

Any theology that claims to be systematic, but fails to address the Problem of Evilsufficiently is severely defective. It cannot be systematic; and if it is, its foundations areweak.3. Any Systematic Theology that relegates the Problem of Evil to the realm of mysteries is ablank theology.4. To unstrap the Problem of Evil is to...
Dealing with Rejection the Jesus Way
To be rejected and to feel rejected are two different things. The former is an event; the latter, an experience, a choice. Every choice involves a selection and a rejection. Because somebody has made a choice not to select us in some kind of a relationship (society, job, friendship, marriage, etc) doesn’t mean that the rejection is universal. You are not universally rejected. There are still some who accept you. And, even if there is nobody, you are the choice of God, because it was His choice to create you as you are. He didn’t create you for...
Is Money All One Needs?
I recently heard a mother say something like this: “I want my children to get the best of education, because education and money is all one needs at the end of the day. If you got good education, it’ll help make money, and if you got money, you got respect, you got a place, a position, a standing in society. If you don’t have money, you are a nobody.”In contrast, Jesus made it very clear: “one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses” (Lk. 12:15). He told the Parable of the Rich Fool, that we know. The Fool thought that...
Making Ministry Needs Known
Jesus never told His disciples to make "ministry needs" known to the world. The One who sends is the One who provides everything. How He does it is His business.|| 'And He said to them, "When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?" So they said, "Nothing." (Lk.22:35)...
Specific Words in Hindi for LOVE
The Hindi language is rich in words. Its words are usually object-specific, and one can easily identify the nature of an object within a single word used. For instance, it has several different words for love, differing according to the object in mind.FRIENDLY LOVEPrem: It is the general word for "love"; but is usually used for friendly love.Preeti: It usually carries the meaning of "love that contains delight". This is the word used in the Hindi Bible in Peter's answer to Jesus when He asked "Do you love Me more than these?"Pyaar:...
Wesley's Secrets of His Long Life
On his 85th birthday on Saturday, June 28 of 1789, John Wesley entered in his journal the reasons for his long life.He starts with thanksgiving to the Lord and a reflection on his health:It is true, I am not so agile as I was in times past. I do not run or walk so fast as I did; my sight is a little decayed; my left eye is grown dim and hardly serves me to read. I have daily some pain in the ball of my right eye, as also in my right temple (occasioned by a blow received some months since), and in my right shoulder and arm, which I impute partly...

Beauty for Ashes - Poem
I've seen beauty, I've seen strength;I've seen them all pass away at length.I've seen such class that influence the masses;But I've seen them die and turn to ashes.My ashes remain at the foot of the cross,From whence I've risen to gain against lossA life eternal, a life all new,A life that's known by only a few.Now, I'm ready to write a song,A song to the Lover who forgave my wrong.He calls me out from the wandering masses,He loves my soul and gives me beauty for ashes."To give them beauty for ashes..." (Isaiah 61...
Seeking God's Approval in Life
The Spirit defines the meaning of "success" in a Christian's life; not feeling or feedback.One is slave to the one he seeks approval from.While we can understand how riches could become a trap for the rich young man who couldn't follow Jesus, and how bad affections could mutilate the heart of Herod from refusing to accept Jesus, there is one other group that Jesus sternly rebuked several times for their slavery to a master that stood against Christ. They were the religious leaders of the day and were reproved for seeking the approval and honor...
Man Beyond Nothingness
A particle afloat in the ocean of infinity,Yet, so conscious of self in profuse vanity --Lofty though his thoughts may be, they're all profanity.Man is nothing, made of nothing, that's his identity.Emptiness craves for sensation beyond sanity,Like a black hole eating anything in its vicinity,Such is the tale of empty, chaotic, gravity;Man is nothing, made of nothing, that's his identity.Lost in a world of baneful, belligerent brevity,Filled with protests of ignoramus sincerity,Tossed between lines lacking any clarity,He lives, dies, and is buried...

What Manner of Spirit Are You Of? (Luke 9:51-56) - Sermon
Text: Luke 9:51-56Living Word Chapel, SNGRSunday, October 09, 2011.Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem. And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?"...
Freedom in the Truth (John 8:32)
Published in REVIVE (formerly Trumpet Magazine), Kumbanad, Sept 11.Of all the aphorisms on freedom ever uttered by human lips, the most liberating one is the declaration of Jesus in John 8:32: "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." He further qualified it with another in verse 36, "If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed."More than any other time in history, the modern century is witness to this unshakeable truth of the Scriptures. Despite the ironic failure of the 18th century Enlightenment, which, while celebrating...
