Its Story Time In a small town, young Steve lived with his loving family and enjoyed exploring his surroundings. One day, while his mother was away, curiosity took hold as he wondered how the tape recorder worked. Finding a screwdriver, Steve took the recorder apart but couldn't reassemble it. Overwhelmed by guilt, he avoided his mother. Months later, Steve's grandpa took him jogging in their village. They came across Steve's cousin Amal, who had fallen off his bike and scraped his knee. Steve watched as his grandpa helped Amal up and encouraged him to try again. Puzzled, Steve asked his grandpa why he wasn't angry

This week, I heard about the concept of giving the enemy a foothold to corrupt our Christian lives. Although I have encountered this phrase numerous times, it was only recently that it truly piqued my interest. I have been reading about these patterns and attempting to comprehend them. During my research, I discovered some insightful articles that have deepened my understanding. Here, I would like to share my interpretations. I highly recommend watching this short 2-minute video by Phil, which provides a clear and concise explanation of the topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEWg_N0kA5 Whats is a Foothold In mountain climbing,

My heart still races when I recall that extraordinary day when Jebi, JS, and their adorable Baby NES prayed for me while sitting in a car, changing my life forever. Jebi, my spiritual sister, is a wonderful woman whose spiritual wisdom has guided me through the most challenging moments of my Christian journey. Although I had known her for 14 years, this was the first time I had the chance to meet her and her husband, JS. JS is a young parent and a lovely husband. I can't help but admire the maturity he carries, and it's evident that God has gifted him with patience and wisdom. Despite his young age, he conducted himself ve

I like to recommend watching the sermon by Pastor Abilash from NLAG on Dreams rather than reading the blog. He had given extensive details and practical suggestions. I have been experiencing nightmares for a while now. Up until recently, my understanding was that dreams are merely reflections of my own thoughts. Over a period of a few months, I had dreams in which I encountered people I had never met before, yet somehow recognized. There were also recurring patterns in my dreams, such as a constant feeling of terror due to something I had committed, a pervasive sense of shame, or overwhelming anxiety. I attributed these dreams to

May Your truth help people discern and embrace correct beliefs. I pray and seek everything in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen." Diving in The concept of love is central to Christianity. In the Bible, love is described in various ways, but it can be broadly categorized into four distinct types. Understanding these types of love can help us better comprehend and apply them in our daily lives. This blog post will explore the four types of love mentioned in the Bible: Agape, Storge, Philia, and Eros. Agape Agape, often referred to as unconditional or sacrificial love, is the highest form of love mentioned in the Bible. This love is selfless and not based on emotions or personal gain. It is best exemplified by the love of God for humanity, as demonstrated through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on t

Forgiveness is a central tenet of the Christian faith, deeply rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ. As followers of Christ, we are called to emulate His love and compassion, extending forgiveness to others just as we have been forgiven by God. This article aims to explore the profound significance of forgiveness in Christianity, providing scriptural references and practical applications to help us walk in grace and love towards our fellow beings. Ephesians 4:32 - "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." This verse underscores the importance of forgiveness in

A Church that doesnt talk about Sin is not a Church of God.

May Your truth help people discern and embrace correct beliefs. I pray and seek everything in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen."   A Church Without Sin: A Theological Examination In recent times, the concept of a "sin-free" church has gained traction among certain Christian communities. These congregations focus primarily on the love and acceptance of God, often downplaying or even ignoring the discussion of sin. However, a critical analysis from a theological perspective reveals that a church that neglects the topic of sin may inadvertently be compromising its identity as a true representation of the body of Christ. Scriptural Basis for Addressing Sin The Bible is replete with references to sin and its consequences. The recognition of sin is integral to understanding the significanc

May Your truth help people discern and embrace correct beliefs. I pray and seek everything in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen." Hi there fellow believers in Christ! I was inspired to write this by watching a Youtube Video which talks about mental health. I was contemplating on the similarities of Chain and Sin. And here is the story to begin with. Once there was a man named Steve. Steve lived his life like many others, doing what he wanted without thinking much about it. He didn't realize that he was like a bird trapped in a cage, unable to fly free.  Steve had been doing things that he knew weren't right, but he kept doing them anyway. He lied, he cheated, and he hurt his loved ones with his words. Every time he did something wrong, it felt like he was adding another link to the chai

Inspiring Characters from Bible: 1 - Jacob

I am excited to introduce a new series of articles titled " Inspiring Characters from Bible. " This collection showcases a different writing style, and I am eager to share these stories with you. As a child, I heard these tales in Tamil, my mother tongue, from my grandfather (a remarkable man of God) and other elders in my community. The vivid imagery that these stories evoked in my mind as a young child, coupled with the lasting impact they had on my Christian life as an adult, has inspired me to share them with you. I initially wrote these stories in Tamil and then translated them into English. As a result, you may notice a variation in my writing style. I must confess that I thoroughly enjoy writing in this manner, as it transports me back to the happiness of my childhood and the cherished memories of those early years.

May Your truth help people discern and embrace correct beliefs. I pray and seek everything in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen." Hi there fellow believers in Christ! As a new born-again believer, I have found myself pondering on a subject that may be considered controversial by Christians: the use of humor within the Christian faith. It seems harmless to share jokes that revolve around our beliefs and practices, but I beg to disagree that there are hidden dangers that may ultimately undermine our walk with God. In this blog article, I will delve deeper into this topic, providing scriptural references to support the notion that Christian jokes can be a detriment to our reverence towards God. In our daily interactions, humor is an essential component, enabling us to bond and connect with others.

May Your truth help people discern and embrace correct beliefs. I pray and seek everything in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen." Hi there fellow believers in Christ! I like to elaborate on the phrase "dancing with the devil" and its impact on a Christian's life. This expression metaphorically describes engaging with sinful activities or being lured into temptation while simultaneously attempting to walk with God. It highlights the internal conflict that arises when we allow ourselves to be enticed by worldly desires. How Dancing with the Devil Affects Christian Life: Weakens Spiritual Growth: As Christians, our aim is to grow closer to God and become more like Jesus. However, when we allow sin to creep into our lives, we hinder our spiritual growth and create a barrier between us

The Bible provides numerous passages that offer guidance on how to deepen our relationship with Christ and experience His transformative love in our lives. In this blog article, we'll explore several biblical references that reveal the importance of nurturing a close connection with God. Here is a Story  Once upon a time, in a small town, there was a boy named Jacob. He loved exploring the world around him and was always curious.

May Your truth help people discern and embrace correct beliefs. I pray and seek everything in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen." I was inspired by Holy Spirit to watch this video on Youtube by David Diga Hernandez. https://www.youtube.com/live/1-QPqw5hHeM I like to start with a story Once upon a time, there was a young man named Steve. He had grown up in a loving Christian home but had strayed from his faith during his college years. Making choices that he knew went against God's teachings, Steve felt the weight of his actions as time went on. One day, after facing the consequences of a particularly bad decision, Steve found himself filled with regret. He longed to undo the pain his choices had caused him and those around him. Alone in his room, he wondered if there was any hope for him t

May Your truth help people discern and embrace correct beliefs. I pray and seek everything in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen." Hi there, my fellow believers in Christ, I like to start with a story. Once there was a young boy named Steve who lived in a small, quiet town. Steve was an intelligent and kind-hearted boy, but he often felt an emptiness inside, as if something was missing in his life. He had heard about God and Jesus from his catholic grandmother, but he never paid much attention to it. One day, Steve's friend invited him to a youth group meeting at the local church. Steve was hesitant at first, but he decided to give it a try. At the meeting, he met other children his age who talked about their faith in Jesus and the joy it brought them. Intrigued, Steve asked questions and le

I am starting with a story Steve was working for a large tech company in the heart of the city. Known for his remarkable problem-solving skills, he navigated through complex codes and technological hurdles with finesse. His colleagues admired his ability to tackle challenges head-on and kept his teams's responsibility and made sure company's systems running smoothly. One day, Steve's team was assigned a project that would determine the future of the company. It was an immense undertaking, and the pressure mounted as the deadline loomed closer. Steve worked tirelessly, but as days turned into weeks, he found himself
