Dreams
A little boy plays with his little toy;I see in his eyes, dreams.A little girl gazes at her little pearl;I see in her eyes, dreams.A hungry kid lifts up a garbage lid;I see in his eyes, dreams.A shivering child stares at the winter wild;I see in her eyes, dreams.A young lass looks herself in the glass;I see in her eyes, dreams.A young lad peruses through the latest fad;I see in his eyes, dreams.A young man thinks of them all and the call;I see in his eyes, dreams....
Elasticity and Stress in Trials
Texts to Read:2Cor.1:8; 1Cor.10:13; James 1:2-4; Rom.5:3-5; 1Jn.4:4; Rom.8:28-39"God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able..." (1Co 10:13 NKJ)Physics defines elasticity as the ability of a body to regain its original shape and size after deforming force is withdrawn; in other words, it is "resistance to change". Stress is nothing but the resisting or restoring force acting proportionately against the deforming force. When the deforming force is overwhelming over the elasticity limit, the body will...

7 Purposes of Clothing
To cover nakedness, not expose it (Gen.3:21)To protect shame, not promote shamelessness (Gen.3:7,21) To honor, not rebel (not rebellious dress forms, not for attracting through shock or provocation) (e.g. dress to honor various occasions like wedding.

The 7 Sayings on the Cross and New Testament Law of Love
In His 7 Sayings on the Cross, the Lord also established the New Testament ethics or Law of Love for Christian life.We understand that the Ten Commandments of the Old Testament had the following structure:1. Love the Lord your God with all your strength... (The first 4 commands)2. Honor your parents (5th Command)3. Love your neighbor as yourself (Last 5 commands)Jesus went a step further when He taught:"You have heard that it was said,`You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you,...
Peace WITH God; Peace OF God
The world has lost a number of important things. There are a few things that it is desperately searching for. One of them is peace.The world has certainly gained a lot of other things in the process of the search for peace. But, they are too artificial to meet the need. For instance, they invented weapons to find peace; but, weapons only increased fear and loss of peace. They invented alcohol and all kinds of drugs; but, these have wrecked lives and destroyed homes. They invented psychological and sociological theories that either denied God or...
Doing Theology With Relevance
Remembering this story from Dr. K.C. Abraham at the CFCC Graduation:A man ventured on an helicopter to a deserted area, soon lost control and crashed on to a tree. As he hung there, he saw a man passing by and asked in desperation, "Sir, can you tell me where I am?" The man looked up and replied, "You are on the tree." Puzzled, he asked again, "Are you a theologian?" "Yes, how did you know?" came the reply. "Because you speak the truth, but it is irrelevant to my situation." Moral: Do Theology with Relevan...
Peace
The Bible teaches us that peace is not just the absence of enmity, conflict, or war; peace is a positive grace and gift of Christ (Jn.14:27); it is the fruit of the Spirit (Gal.5:22). In fact, it tells us that peace is inseparable from the person of Jesus Christ, who is our peace (Eph.2:14).Peace Described As1. Cancellation of Enmity and Reconciliation with God (Col.2:14; 1:20)2. Gift of Christ (Jn.14:27)3. Fruit of the Spirit (Gal.5:22; Rom.14:17)4. Beyond Understanding (Phil.4:7)Four Facts About Peace1. It can be Given (Jn.14:27; Rom.15:13)2....
Dr. Billy Graham on Boredom
Excerpted from Peace With God (1984)The Breadth of BoredomAmerica is said to have the highest per capita boredom of any spot on earth! We know that because we have the greatest variety and greatest number of artificial amusements of any country.People have become so empty that they can't even entertain themselves. They have to pay other people to amuse them, to make them laugh, to try to make them feel warm and happy and comfortable for a few minutes, to try to lose that awful, frightening, hollow feeling — that terrible, dreaded feeling of being...

Dealing with Denial
“Denial” may be defined as the act of asserting that something alleged is not true. Such assertion may either be verbal or behavioral, or both. The denial may be of the reality of a fact or of the seriousness of it, or of both. In many cases, it also appears as a mechanism to avoid responsibility in a given situation. Though, lying is a direct form of denial, there are still others like false justification, caricaturizing, and minimizing that also fall into the category of denial. In this article, we’ll look at denial with regard to leadership...
Christ-Like and Christ-Unlike Mission Models
CHRIST-LIKE MISSION MODELS1. Incarnation Model (Heb. 2:14; 1Cor.9:22)2. Sacrificial Model (Gal.1:20; Phil.2:17; 1Thess 2:6, 9)3. Reconciliation Model (Eph.2:14; 2Cor.5:18; Rom.5:1; Gal.3:28; John 17:21)4. Glorification (Uplifting, Dignifying) Model (John 17:22; Eph.3:8-11; 2Cor.8:9).CHRIST-UNLIKE MISSION MODELS1.

Arithmetic of Foreknowledge
In humans, the future exists as possibilities. The past exists as actualized (fulfilled) events.However, in God, the future is as real as the present and the past - as actualized; because, time is not independent of God, God holds all things together.But, while He holds all things together, He does not determine each thing; for to do that, He must exist prior to future; but, that is not the case because future, as both present and past, is coterminous with Him - "In Him we move, and live, and have our being." God is eternal.Therefore, God's foreknowledge...
Nothing Can Challenge the Greatness of God (Poem)
Then the Rabshakeh said to them, "Say now to Hezekiah,`Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: "What confidence is this in which you trust? (Isa 36:4)........When the devil poses himself and his world as greatAnd tries his best you to humiliate;Tell him on his face that he is a liar,Tell him that only the deceived do him admire;Tell him that he's gonna burn in hell's undying fire,Prepared for him and his entourage entire;So, let him rant and rumble and rage;But, God is with you to the end of the age;The things that swell do soon rupture...
Hope
Hope Does Not Disappoint (Rom 5:5 NKJ) In order to be happy a person must have someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for - Readers Digest (As cited by Billy Graham)What oxygen is for the lungs, such is hope for the meaning of human life. - Billy GrahamTo live without hope is to cease to live. - Fyodor DostoyevskyThe Bible is the only document of hope that we have in the world.The Bible gives us the message of hope, not only in this world, but also in the world to come.Four reasons:It gives us the basis for hope.It tells...
I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed (2Ti 1:12)
"I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed.." (2Ti 1:12)~Adam's sin meant his becoming ashamed in relation to "what people would think of him" if they saw him as he was. That was the beginning of the history of camouflage, hypocrisy, and masked-ego. It eventually led to man becoming ashamed of God and shameless about sin. Therefore, one cannot be a true disciple, until he has embraced the only One that the world was ever fully ashamed of - the Crucified Christ. He at once releases us from false shame. The One who was stripped naked on the...
Justice and Mercy as Kingdom Concerns
The past two centuries have seen the burst of several para-church organizations thrusting to the frontline for the cause of justice and mercy. They are para-church in the sense of their not being subject to a local church or any denominational body as such. However, they are not para-church in connection to the Church Universal. They are instances of Christians trans-denominationally and trans-geographically coming together to voice, witness, and act out the concerns of God’s Kingdom. In many cases, there may not even be an organization as traditionally...
Resurrection Vs Resuscitation: 20 Differences
One important question in connection with the resurrection of Jesus asks how the resurrection of Jesus can be different from any other instance of a person coming back to life. For certain, there are numerable cases of people being resuscitated by medical means and cases of those who were raised from the dead supernaturally. The Bible also records cases of people who were raised from the dead: the son of the widow of Zarapeth, raised by Elijah in 1 Kings 17:7-24; Jairus’s daughter in Matthew 9:18-26, the son of the widow of Nain in Luke 7:11-17,...
