Real Hope in New Year
Everyone of us look forward to this new year with a lot of expectations. We expect that our past hurts, pains, and sufferings wouldn’t continue in this new year. We wish our new year to be healthy and prosperous one for ourselves and our dear ones. But have you ever thought what our life is all about or are you just going on with the life pattern of live as we like? Do you know the One who created time because of whom we celebrate this day? If not, this new year is the right time to pause and ponder …

God’s Timing is Perfect
“But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son…” Galatians 4:4 God sent His Son to save us from sins which is the central theme of this season. No wonder, we as Christians proclaim “Jesus is the Reason for the Season” There is a Season for everything. King Solomon says in Ecclesiastes 3:1, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” Infact, this entire chapter talks about times and seasons. In today’s modern world, when we want everything to happen overnight, it might seem reasonable to expect God working through …

Providing For Your Family
“But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” 1 Timothy 5:8 We live in an era where everyone are busy all day. We have no time to pause and ponder. Often, we even fail to give importance to the needs of our families. The problem is prevalent not just among professing Christians but even more among those who are involved in Christian ministries. For the world, money could be everything but it can’t be so for a Christian. However, that doesn’t …

You Cannot Serve God And Money
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21 We run all through our lives to gather money, name and fame that belongs to the world. We fail to recognise that they all will cease to exist one day. At times, they cease even as we watch them happening in front of our eyes. That is why Jesus tells us not to gather treasures for ourselves on earth. He has a better place for us where we will live forever with Him and that is where we need to store up our treasures. These heavenly treasures …

The Hour Has Come
“Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.” Romans 13:11 When a New year ticks in, most of us stay awake till midnight to welcome it. We try our best to hold off our sleep in order to get a glimpse of that golden moment. As professing Christians, is it not even more important to wake up from our sinful life and clothe ourselves with Christ? As we enter a New year, is it not true that our final …

Preach the Gospel
“Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!” 1 Corinthians 9:16. Last month, many of us would have come across the news of the death of a missionary named John Allen Chau. He was killed by the people of North Sentinelese tribe in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The Sentinelese tribe are not wary of the modern civilization and have been living in their own world for centuries. Being a traveller, John Chau was enjoying God’s finest creation called nature and there is no need for him to risk his life. Yet, He chose to put his life …

3 Steps for Overcoming Sin
“My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” 1 John 2:1. Overcoming sin is the battle faced by all Christians every day. Christians are not immune to sin but that doesn’t give us the license to sin. Romans 6:14 says, “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” Being Christians, we are no longer walk according to the law but by the grace of God poured on to us …

3 Things The Resurrection Signifies
“He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay” Matthew 28:6 In the history of mankind, many people tried to disprove the fact Jesus resurrected from the dead. Some did this out of selfish ambitions and some out of pure ignorance. Irrespective of all these attempts, the fact Jesus resurrected on the third day is transforming the lives of many even today. The Human mind is limited by the thoughts that life ends once we die. But the Resurrection of Jesus rewrites death as the beginning and assures us that …

Developing Patience this New Year
We live in a world where we have no time to wait for anything. From fast food restaurants to Express trains, we want everything to happen immediately. The term patience has lost its place in our lives when things don’t happen as we expect. The definition of patience is “the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious.” Sometimes we do wait for things to happen but without being truly patient. We fail to realise that when we don’t have the patience to wait, we won’t get the best God wants to offer us. …

August 2017
“If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.” 1 Corinthians 15:19 Lately, I have been frequently hearing Sermons centered on this verse. It is also one of my favourite verses as it reaffirms the answer to the most important question of humanity, “Why do I live?” Even after being saved, many a time we live our lives in such a way as though we belong to the world. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 4:18, “While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which …
