PURE CHRISTIANITY-DOING GOOD This is an open letter to Christians and those who value the principles of the Christian Faith. Christianity in the Developed World is losing ground, that’s clear. The reasons though are not quite so clear. I think, we Christians somehow, have gotten away from the basic idea and ideals inherent in Christianity. Read More

A POSSIBLE NEW YEARS RESOLUTION
COLOSSIANS 3:15 “LET THE PEACE OF CHRIST RULE IN YOUR HEARTS, SINCE AS MEMBERS OF ONE BODY YOU WERE CALLED TO PEACE. AND BE THANKFUL.” This verse provides a possible New Years Resolution to work toward, THE PEACE OF CHRIST. That Peace is the quality that brings tranquility, serenity and composure to life, just the Read More
THE TRUE LIGHT
JOHN 1:9 “THE TRUE LIGHT THAT GIVES LIGHT TO EVERYONE WAS COMING INTO THE WORLD.” This is the season where we are reminded of the coming of the “TRUE LIGHT,” Jesus. While physical light brightens our sight and reveals things that darkness covers, spiritual and mental light does much more. No different than the Read More
THE LIGHT OF DAY IS COMING!
ROMANS 13:12 “THE NIGHT IS NEARLY OVER, THE DAY IS ALMOST HERE. SO LET US PUT ASIDE THE DEEDS OF DARKNESS AND PUT ON THE ARMOR OF LIGHT.” This is the attitude of BELIEVERS that keeps us going. Whatever we’re EXPERIENCING, “The worst is almost over, the light of day is about to smile upon Read More
THE LORD’S FAITHFULNESS
1 THESSALONIANS 5:24 “THE ONE WHO CALLS YOU IS FAITHFUL AND WILL DO IT.” Two ideas I hope to stress with this short text. Talking of Christ Jesus, the verse notes that he continually calls us.

ROMANS 8:15 “BUT YOU HAVE RECEIVED A SPIRIT OF SONSHIP. AND BY HIM WE CRY, ‘ABBA,FATHER.’ THE SPIRIT HIMSELF TESTIFIES WITH OUR SPIRIT THAT WE ARE GOD’S CHILDREN.’ Have you ever felt so exhilarated that you’re happy to be alive? If you have, you have gotten a glimpse, an indication, there is a God and Read More
BLESSED IS HE
PROVERBS 16:20 “WHOEVER GIVES HEED TO INSTRUCTION PROSPERS AND BLESSED IS HE WHO TRUSTS THE LORD.” The term “BLESSED” is used indiscriminately in our world. But from a spiritual sense feeling blessed is quite specific. Someone who is BLESSED is “FAVORED” and more clearly FAVORED BY GOD. The result is he or she feels “FULLY Read More
THE CENTRAL THEME OF ALL CREATION
EPHESIANS 2:4-5 “BUT BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT LOVE FOR US, GOD WHO IS RICH IN MERCY, MADE US ALIVE WITH CHRIST.” There is one source, one idea that is the energizing force of the universe. That is LOVE! God’s love is the central theme of all creation. It’s the reason everything exists; all because God Read More
SAVING MY LIFE FROM WHAT?
PSALM 6:4 “O LORD DELIVER MY LIFE, SAVE ME FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR STEADFAST LOVE.” The Psalmist rightly realized every-ones’ life is in peril, never guaranteed. Mere existence (one definition of life) can be snuffed out by sickness or accident. But I think the writer is thinking more than about mere breathing. Any life Read More
