Lately, I’ve been reading about Peter in the book of Acts. His life before Acts and in Acts are both quite fascinating and drastically different. Peter is one of the first disciples of Jesus. All throughout the gospels, Peter is seen as the ever-curious, awkward person who wants to do things for Jesus, but is…
“Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.The land you have given me is a pleasant land”. Psalm 16:5-6 What a wonderful inheritance!

Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there any thing too hard for me? Jer. 32: 27 God makes many statements in the word of God that are absolute. Above verse is such a statement, but one with a question as well. God states the He is the Lord and the…
Few weeks back, on a Sunday worship service, our pastor was talking about how approachable we ought to be for the work of the Lord and he gave us an example that stuck with me every day after that. He said that some of us are like a bee hive full of honey, but no…
In life we all face challenges; we all are required to take decisions, accept changes. We are often thrown out from our comfort zones and the impact of all this would be too hard on us.

We are living in a world of darkness. We are constantly in a battle; a battle against the world and its desires, a battle against the Satanic powers, a battle for spiritual strength. We should live each moment of our lives carefully as we should not be deceived by Satan. Satan is always looking out…
“….greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” 1 john 4:4 We live in a world where there’s a constant struggle to choose between the right and wrong, good and bad and the popular and least favored. As Christians, we come across more struggles than the rest of the…
