Favor ain't fair!!

If God were "Fair", I would get what I deserve from Him. But since He is "Merciful", and not "Fair", I am the recipient of his "Grace", which means I get so much more than what I deserve.


I am certainly NOT a Bible Scholar, but I am confident that God always keeps His promises, and His promise is that if we accept that we all have sinned and fallen short of His Glory, and accept that when Jesus died at Calvary we died with Him and had our sins paid for with His blood, and trust Him as our own personal Savior, then we have eternal life.


We can do nothing to save ourselves, hence we can do nothing to "un-save" ourselves.
God Bless!

Following thru on your decision…

Today’s world can subtly pressurize us into turning away from our decisions. Everything is presented so seductively… as innocent as a sheep…But a wolf is still a wolf.
Making the right decisions include a commitment to follow through. Even if others try to convince us to deviate from our decisions, we should remain firm.

Our children do not realize the possible long-term effects of their small, daily choices and fail to comprehend they do not have as much control over the consequences of their choices as they think they do. Once they open the door a crack, Satan can get a foot in and once his foot is in, he can enter and even move in. Train children to look ahead.

The Old and the New

At a care cell recently, we were having a discussion on the importance of meditating on the Word of God recently. One of teh young asked why do we still have bibles with the Old Testament? Sice it's just stories and geneology, can't we give it just as much as importance as you would a fiction novel?




The Holy Spirit helped me answer this one with a profound statement that I must testify came from the Heavens. I said," How could you possibly have a testimony without the past?"

What comes after being born again?

Now that I am born again, can I rest on my laurels ? God's surely gonna reveal himself and his intention for my life now, isn't he? I know so many friends of mine whose lives have changed dramatically after being called to His service. Surely, thats what's gonna happen to me too, isn't it?
Is it?
As Ravi Zachrias told us the other day the other day in Cochin," This is not right! Heck, You are not even wrong!"
Yea, you read it! The above assumption doesn't even work itself upto the dignity of an error. :)
Seeking Our Lord, waiting on Him, speaking to him then, is a continuous responsibility for the converted person. This isn't as easy as it sounds not because God's elusive, but because we are so full of wrong assumptions and misconceptions. (Let me remind you here of Adam and Eve's sin and Satan's deception of all mankind. That is why!)
We have been so thoroughly deceived that our conceptions about God are dreadfully vague. How do we cross this bridge?
With Daily Time! You need to have a QT E.V.E.R.Y.D.A.Y!!
Pursue Him.
Doesn't every husband and wife court each other? Court Him!
And once you get married, do you leave your husband on a shelf to collect dust? No you pamper him, love him, seek him always.
The same is demanded from every part of the Church. God wants to be courted by us just as ardently as He has courted you! Only when God chooses to reveal Himself to you do the bits and pieces of the ergo incomprehensible jigsaw called Life begin falling together into the correct pattern.
John 17:3 teaches us that the most important thoughts the mind can entertain are thoughts of God, as they will determine the quality and direction of an individual's life. These mistaken beliefs are erased through the experiences of coming to know Him.
