Seven stones which denotes completion, having diverse shapes
and texture, stay together against rampant storms and raging waves.
Harmonia is a Greek word meaning peace, unity, co-existence,
agreement etc. Harmonia is a state of oneness or of being in harmony
and accord. This does not describe an external, ecclesiastical
union, but internal, spiritual unity. It means that Christians
should be united in temper and affection, and not be split up in
factions and parties.

I am happy to know that the Abu Dhabi Pentecostal Churches
Congregation is publishing a Souvenir in commemoration of their 10
years of existence, I wish the members of the Community joy, happiness
and prosperity.
I am also very happy to learn that the Congregation has come so
far from humble beginnings and is a fellowship of 15 Keralite Pentecostal
Churches in Abu Dhabi.
I laud the effort of the Congregation in encouraging fellowship
and unity among the Christian Community in Abu Dhabi.
Once again I wish the Community all success in publishing the
Souvenir which will remain a remembrance for the coming generation.

MESSAGE

Greetings to my Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am always excited when Christians from different
congregations gather together regularly. God honours unity and one
major ministry of the Holy Spirit is to keep the bond of peace through
unity. This is because there is so much more we can do together
than on our own.
The UAE is a great place to be a Christian as we have the
freedom to worship, encourage one another in our faith and to be
a witness in our workplace. I thank God that recently we had an
opportunity as a whole church to thank the UAE nation for their
hospitality to us at the National Theatre at a Christmas event. Events
like these do have an impact on all of us both Muslim and Christian
and I pray there will be many more. Unity therefore is important to
me and to the Anglican Church.
This is especially important when we live in an Islamic country.
Unity should be part of our testimony and witness. Scripture tells
us that it is by our love for one another that people will know we
are Christians. How tragic that this is so often not the case. However
for APCCON this is your testimony and has been for many years.
So on this special anniversary I send you our warmest
congratulations and prayers for blessings.
Yours in Christ
Rev. Canon Andrew Thompson MBE

CHURCH OF GOD (FULL GOSPEL) IN INDIA
KERALA STATE
Greetings!
I am extremely delighted to know that the Abu Dhabi Pentecostal
Churches Congregation (APCCON) is publishing a souvenir in commemoration
of completing 10 years of its commendable service at Abu Dhabi.
Every moment, every day and every year is a time to recall the goodness
and faithfulness of God that we enjoy. Needless to say that the selfless
servcies by the official leaders who laboured in the leadership from
time to time and the whole hearted co-operation and the sincere love of
the beloved members have played a vital role in bringing up the APCCON
to its fruitful stage.
With best wishes to Pastor Finny George (President), Pastor C. George

Greetings!
With profound joy in the Lord, I would like to greet and congratulate
Abu Dhabi Pentecostal Churches Congregation (APCCON) for completing
10 years of faithful service in the Gulf region. It’s a matter of
gratitude before God that APCCON has united the Pentecostal movement
in Abu Dhabi and I am happy to write few words for your souvenir
on this occasion of the 10th year celebrations of your movement.
It is a matter of shame that disunity and division become the marks of
the present day Pentecostal movements. Many look for selfishness and
personal gains. Yet I strongly believe that we need to get back to the
experiences of the first century Churches which our Pentecostal movement
in Kerala and elsewhere emulated in the beginning. We need the
renewal of the Holy Spirit which persuades us to live a life of unity before
the world. Let us pray together as our Master prayed, “I in them and you
in me that they may become perfectly one, so that world may know that
thou hast sent me….” (John 17: 23).
I appreciate the effort of APCCON for bringing unity among the Pentecostal
movements in Abu Dhabi through the active relationship and fellowship
among churches. I acknowledge that it is because of the hard
work of the leadership there and the sincere commitment of the believers.
I do remember the words of Paul in Philippians 1: 6, “being confident of
this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion
until the day of Christ Jesus.” I know that God will lead you faithfully and
to new heights and ventures and praying for the fulfillment of all the purposes
God has in mind for you.
On behalf of the Sharon Fellowship Church, I wish all success to this
souvenir and pray that the efforts of APCCON will contribute much to
the mission of the church worldwide.

It gives me immense pleasure to note that APCCON has completed ten
years in serving the Lord in Abu Dhabi. Thanks to the collective efforts
of all those who worked together in gathering the Pentecostal churches
in this region under the umbrella of APCCON. This has given way for a
closer Christian fellowship and fostering the bond of love among the
Pentecostal churches in this place.
Christian unity attributed for the sustained church growth in every
age. Let APCCON continue to be a model for an unchallenged Christian
unity.
May the Lord our God bless the leadership of APCCON in furthering
their Christian work.
Our best wishes and prayers are extended on this great occasion.

We are very delighted to hear that APCCON is publishing a souvenir
marking its 10th anniversary. We are proud to say that over the past
10 years APCCON has distinguished itself within all Pentecostal
Churches in the U.A.E. in binding and bringing all believers closer
together through the common worship and other ministries.
May Lord bless APCCON and all its leading members for
graciously serving Him and enable to continue the good work until
the day of Jesus Christ.
BEST WISHES for the successful FIRST DECADE and looking
to many more.
With sincere prayers and love,
Pastor M. M. Thomas
IPC Carmel, Abu Dhabi

Since the last 10 years, APCCON has undertaken the immense task of
bringing unity among Malayalee Pentecostal Churches. Its success has
depended upon the enthusiastic effort of every working committee,
building upon the underlying desire of God’s people to work together for
His Kingdom.
This unique body has a highly significant role to play in the coming
days, and I pray that the Almighty God will cause this tree to bear lasting
fruit for His Glory, in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
I take this opportunity to congratulate APCCON, and every individual
who has contributed to this milestone. In the future, more than in the
past, our unity will mean enduring strength for the Pentecostal community
of this city.
May God bless all.
Pastor C. George Mathew
IPC Eben Ezer, Abu Dhabi
Hereby, we present our bouquet of laurels on this auspicious occasion
APCCON celebrates its 10th Anniversary. The enthusiastic efforts of
the member churches and believers of APCCON to achieve unity are
highly exemplary and commendable.
We pray that what we started may continue ever stronger and
stronger for the extension of God’s Kingdom and may continue to inspire
everyone in the APCCON family.

It is with great pleasure that I extend my congratulations to
APCCON on the release of its souvenir. APCCON has been
instrumental in bringing together and creating a spirit of unity among
the Pentecostal denominations in and around Abu Dhabi. The
initiatives that APCCON had taken in spreading the gospel during
the last 10 years are also worth mentioning for the glory of our
Lord.
There has been much accomplished but yet more to accomplish,
I pray that God Almighty will bless this congregation and its
ministries in the years to come. “He who has begun a good work
in us will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
Pastor Thomas Prasad
Salem Church of God, Abu Dhabi
I am much delighted to write these lines on the occasion of the
10th anniversary celebration of APCCON. During the last 10 years
the city of Abu Dhabi witnessed many a times the marvelous glory
of the Lord through the united witnessing and worshipping of the
people of God.
It is our Lord’s desire that His people may be united. In Eph.
4:3, this oneness is called “the oneness of the Spirit.” The oneness
of the believers originated from the Father himself, who is the
source of life. This is the life that we believers possess.
Let us forget our petty differences derived from the self and
stand united for the glory of the Lord and let’s find ways to work
together for winning of souls and for the enlargement of His
Kingdom.
Pastor Jacob George Mundackal
Sharon Fellowship Church, Abu Dhabi

We thank our Lord for APCCON as it has been a spiritual inspiration to
all the Christians in Abu Dhabi who worship our Lord in Spirit and truth
and lead a separated holy life as desired by our Father in heaven (Jn.
4:23, 24). Since its inception we have witnessed the spirit of unity, integrity
and holiness guide all activities of APCCON, may it be conventions or
Gospel meetings, alongside common worship and Lord’s table conducted
by anointed and experienced leaders. As a pall bearer of mass spiritual
gatherings for Pentecostal churches governed by diverse international
leaderships, one can see the invisible hand of the Holy Spirit moving
though all activities bringing us together as one family.
Let us all hopefully pray that our Lord will strengthen APCCON
leadership for many more years to impart divine vision for the gospel and
special anointing on His servants perpetually for the expansion of His
Kingdom.
Pastor Mathews George
Vineyard Pentecostal Church, Abu Dhabi

Reading: Lamentations 1:1-17
“Her filthiness clung to her skirts; she did not consider her future.
Her fall was astounding; there was none to comfort her (Lam. 1:9)
Imagine a church where
“blessed” messages of consolations
and promises of prosperity are
always preached. A prophet walks
in and cries “woe” to it, for God is
desperately indignant because of
its sins. He also proclaims a
catastrophe for the church since it
has failed to repent… What would
be their response? If he comes out
safe, it is obviously God’s hands!
Remember, prophets were never
carriers of soothing words to a
church immersed in sin.
“Lamentations” is a wonderful
book written by the “weeping
prophet” Jeremiah. It is unique in
that it is a poetry from a prophet…
it is his heart! He looks to Zion,
once a festive city, now desolate
(v.4), and weeps over it bitterly.
Once she was great among the
nations, but now she is like a widow.
Once a princess, now a vassal
(v.1). Once a peculiar people (Ex.
19:5), now dwelling among the
heathen (v.3)!
The religious life of Israel turned
out to be a tale told by the elderly!
The city of Zion is in bitter
anguish… no more festivals of God
are observed… Her priests are
groaning and the maidens are
dragged away (v.4). Her children
were taken captives (v.5), and that
quenched even the hope for their
future glory!
Who made “God’s chosen
people” like this? Don’t accuse
Satan… “The LORD has brought
her grief because of the multitude
of her sins”(v.5). Whoever be the
instrument, God is the author of all
these troubles. Look at the phrase:
‘the multitude of her sins!’ Are her
troubles many? Her sins are many
more! (Jer. 30:14)
“Her filthiness clung to her
skirts.” (v.9) This shows a sinful
walk. If she was falling into dirt,
then the filth should not have been
seen not in her skirt, but elsewhere
on the cloth. Now it is evident that
her sinful walk was not an accident,
but an intentional involvement.
Isn’t it the same with the
modern church? Our enemies
persuade us… the world has
conquered us. “Her princes are
become like harts that find no
pasture, and they are gone without
strength before the pursuer, the
Satan” (v.6). No spiritual food in
the church! We have music, but no
new song from the Lord. We have
dancing, but no leap of joy. Our
Bible Study
priests are screaming without and
groaning within. Maidens are
dragged away into captivity of
fashions and lusts of the world.
Occasionally a prophet comes and
exhorts us to leave our days of
vanity, but we do not want to
embrace reality because reality is
painful. Why does the church
continue to walk in sin without any
repentance or retreat?
“Look, you put your trust in
deceitful words… You do these
things I hate, and then you come
and stand in my presence, in my
own Temple, and say, ‘We are
safe!’ Do you think that my
Temple is a hiding place for
robbers? (Jeremiah 7:8-10)
The wicked Israel thought if they
offer worship in the temple, all their
evil would be covered and God
would not look at it anymore. To
them, the temple of God was a den
- a hiding place! No! You cannot
manipulate God with a worship
................
39

meeting! You cannot dip your filth
in worship!
This is the story of the present
church. The wicked folks are
singing, dancing, preaching,
prophesying without fear and
shouting big Halleluiahs for the
“mercy” of God, just to continue in
their impious ways! Ananias and
Sapphira died on the spot when they
lied to the Holy Spirit. However,
these days, even grievous sinners
are not dying suddenly. They even
stretch hands to the Lord’s Supper!
Does not God see this wickedness?
“I see everything you do”
(Jeremiah 7:10), says the Lord!
Who knows you are storing up God’s
wrath (Romans 2:5) for an oven
where all arrogant and all evil doers
will be burnt like stubble! (Malachi.
4:1)
“She remembers not her last
end” (v.9).
There is a “last end!” The times
of God’s soft days are going to be
over. The last end is coming, when
God will deal with no mercy… Oh!
We need someone like Jeremiah, to
lament over the present day
church… to scream at the church
that sleeps when it is on the brim of
doom?
“Her downfall was terrible” (v.9)
Yes, the end of a worldly church
would be terrible. There would be
nobody to comfort her. If the church
continues walking in filth, if they do
not change their ways, God says, “I
will sharpen my sword!” (Psalms
7:12).
The “end” has another meaning,
says Francis Schaeffer, in his
famous book “death in the city.” End
means purpose! True, Israel did not
remember her final judgement…
But she also forgot for what purpose
God had put her in the world! God
wants the church to be a consulate
of heaven in the world! Consulate
is a miniature of the country it
represents. The consulate does
everything the country wants to be
done.
It is through the church, that
heaven does everything in the
world! If the church is a consulate,
when somebody comes to the
church, he should see a small
heaven in it. That is God’s purpose
- end- for the church. Is your
church, a miniature of heaven, or
just another version of the world?
Do not forget the end… God is a
righteous judge!
Do not forget the end… God
wants you to be His ambassador
and the church a consulate of
heaven!
Prayer: Lord, I know for what
purpose you have placed me in this
world. I want to represent you in
my dwelling. Help me to weep over
the church that has gone astray! I
pray that my church will be
heaven’s consulate, and fulfil its
mission in a perfect way. Amen!

One day, the father of a very wealthy
family took his son on a trip to the
country with the express purpose of
showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and
nights on the farm of what would
be considered a very poor family. On
their return from their trip, the father
asked his son, “How was the
trip?”
“It was great, Dad.”
“Did you see how poor people
live?” the father asked.
How Poor We Are!

“Oh yeah,” said the son.
“So, tell me, what did you learn
from the trip?” asked the father.
The son answered: “I saw that
we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the
middle of our garden and they have
a creek that has no end. We have a
small piece of land to live on and they
have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but
they serve others. We buy our food,
but they grow theirs. We have walls

around our property to protect us,
they have friends to protect them.”
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, “Thanks
Dad for showing me how poor we
are.”
Isn't perspective a wonderful
thing? Makes you wonder what
would happen if we all give thanks
for everything we have, instead of
worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you
have, especially your friends!
“Life is too short and friends are
too few.”

It is reported that the highest number of divorce
cases are filed in a family court in Kerala, is where
we have the highest concentration of
Christians.
A
lot of people are confused
about marriage today. In the
eyes of many, the institution of
marriage has become irrelevant, an
archaic relic of a simpler and more
naïve time. They question if
marriage is still a good idea,
especially in today’s more
“liberated” and “enlightened”
culture. People today are shopping
for relationships as they would shop
for clothes. They try one and if that
does not fit, then, they will try
another.
We are bombarded with
messages and images from the
media: soap opera/serials, movies,
books, magazines, etc, where
people cheat on each other. How
many Hollywood or Bollywood
stars can claim a monogamous
relationship? The sports icons
around world are falling into
adultery like crazy. I must also
mention the impact of social media
such as Face book, Twitter, etc on
marriage and family. How many
innocent lives have been destroyed
due to the unguarded, selfish use
of this technology?
We live in a “disposable-cast
off-and throw-away” society that
has largely lost any sense of
permanence. Ours is a world of
expiration and limited shell life.
Nothing is absolute anymore. The
truth exists only in the eyes of the
beholder and the morality is the
whim of the moment
Since the 1970 marriage has
dropped by 30 percent, divorce has
increased 40 percent; people
deciding to live together increased
60 percent. The stats are not so
great even in the “God’s own
country”. It is reported that the
highest number of divorce cases
are filed in a family court in Kerala,
is where we have the highest
concentration of Christians.
Divorces and marital infidelity are
becoming common among believing
communities. Let us not turn a blind
eye towards these facts and adopt
a careless attitude against this
onslaught. Let us take this matter
with utter seriousness and attack
this issue from various angles.
A question I would like to ask
my readers is this: “what are you
doing about this?” We better start
addressing the issue in the church
realm, at home, through media, etc,
in a manner that would get the
attention of the married, those that
are getting ready and others who
are growing.
I do not have the luxury to go in
Pastor Jacob Mathew
Family
to depth on this issue here;
however, I would like to address
one or two issues regarding
marriage and family.
WHOSE IDEA IS
MARRIAGE?
Marriage is God’s idea. He
created it, He designed it, He
defined it and He established it’s
parameters. Marriage is not the
invention of mankind, it is of divine
origin.
The basic Greek word for
“marriage” is “GAMEO” which is
derived from the same roots as our
English word “GEM’. The root
word literally means to “fuse
together”. Fusion of different
elements into one describes the
process by which precious gems
are formed in the earth. That
process is an apt description of
marriage.
Precious Gems like, diamonds,
rubies, emeralds, and sapphire are
formed far underground out of
ordinary elements that are
subjected to pressure over an
extended period of time. Heat,
pressure and time working together
................
55

can transform an ordinary matter
into something uncommon. When
God ordained that man and woman
should be “one flesh”, He plainly
had permanent, lifelong relationship
in mind. Marriage is a foundational
institution. God established it to be
the first and foremost fundamental
element of human society. This
institution was in existence before
other institutions like government,
church, etc, came to be.
We will never obtain God’s kind
of marriage simply by going along
with the crowd, doing what
everybody else does. We have to
dig deep into the heart of God to
discover His principles. Godly
marriages grow strong under
pressure and it is a fusion that
creates oneness. The institution of
marriage is more important than our
personal feelings. Commitment to
the marriage, rather than the
commitment to the other person is
the key to success. This is a
fundamental truth we need to bear
in mind when we think about
marriage. The success in marriage
does not depend on how much we
feel about marriage, rather how
much we know about marriage. A
successful marriage hinges on
knowledge; knowing and
understanding the principles of
God. This is one reason why I
believe marital problems are
primarily spiritual problems. When
a man and woman are right with
the Lord, they will be right with
each other.
WHY GET MARRIED?
People marry for lots of
reasons; some of which are good,
some not so good and while some
are even bad. Many fail in their
marriage because they don’t know
the purpose or the principles of
marriage. Wrong reasons cannot
sustain a healthy marriage, neither
one should ever get married
without first asking,” Why am I
getting married?”
Since, knowledge is a key to
successful marriage we should
consider some common unhealthy
reasons to get married. The list is
................
56
not some guess work but from
credible sources that study the
marriage break up.
#To spite parents [get back at
parents,# to escape an unhappy
home,# deal with a negative self
image,# fear of being left out,#
marrying on the rebound
[because of a recent break up],#
fear of independent life, #don’t
want to hurt the other person,
#started out as a therapist but
now you are marrying the
person,# sexual relationship,#
pregnancy, for money or
opportunity one can gain,#
economic advantage.
Let us now look at some healthy
reasons to get married
# because it is God’s will, #
Express God’s love to other
person, # Express personal love
to other person,# Express
sexual needs and desires in
Godly way[God-given vehicle
to meet a God-given need], #
desire to begin a family,#
companionship,# Share all
things with another person,#
Work together to fulfill each
other’s needs, # to maximize
each other’s potential,
#enhance spiritual growth.#
need for esteem, # Need for
completion, # need for help etc.
You are in showcase
Above all, the most important
reason for the Almighty God to
start this institution is for it to
function as a show case for God’s
covenant relationship with His
people. To be more specific; this
institution must exist to point to the
Heavenly Bridegroom’s loving
relationship with His beautiful
Bride, called the church. So just
imagine, how important this
institution is to God and how any
misrepresentation by any one
partner can cause such damage to
the image of God’s relationship with
His people.
We need to work our way back
from this point on, how we deal
with one another, how a husband
must lead and relate to his wife and
The most important reason
for the Almighty God to start
this institution is for it to
function as a show case for
God’s covenant relationship
with His people.
children and how a wife must
submit and support her husband.
Our homes must function as the
Heaven’s Embassy on earth.
Our communication within the
marriage, conflict resolution,
expectations, roles, meeting of
needs, respecting, honoring, raising
children, etc, all must emerge and
develop with this backdrop in mind.
It’s good to read and practice
materials from marriage enrichment
books. Consulting the
scientific discoveries of how
human mind functions and theories
of fixing social/marital problems
must be done with caution. We
must to take into consideration that
the Almighty’s Manual spells out
correctly our purpose for life and
living on planet earth.
I know I have just scratched the
tip of the iceberg. The marriage/
family matter must be dealt with
sense of urgency or else we will
witness this institution collapsing
down right in front of our eyes. We
are called to be “salt” to this earth,
and one of the functions of salt is
to preserve, which includes
preserving the institution of
marriage and family.
Remember! Marriage is a living
organism, which needs to be fed
on a regular basis or else, it will
die.

Family
WHEN OUR CHILDREN KNOW THAT WE ARE JUST, LOVING, HONEST AND OPEN
TO CORRECTION, THEY VALUE CORRECTION AND LOVE TO BE OBEDIENT EVEN
WHEN IT IS DIFFICULT.
It is perhaps correct to say that
from very early on in human
history the family seems to be the
smallest worshiping group. The role
of the father of the extended family
later progressed to that of a
patriarch who performed the duties
of king and the priest. Modern
Indian nuclear families continue to
show evidence of this to some
extent and can be considered as the
smallest worshiping group or a
church. The role of the father as
the administrative head and provider
is extremely important while the
mother influences their children and
plays a crucial role in moulding their
character. A submissive and faithful
wife who acknowledges the
authority of her husband is more
likely to become a good mother
while by the same token a loving
caring and faithful husband is more
likely to be a good father. I also
believe that contentment is one of
the keys to a healthy and
harmonious family. However as my
focus is more on the bringing up of
children, I would like to dwell more
on this aspect of the family.
In the Gospel of Luke 2:52 we
read the description of the growth
and development of the Lord Jesus
Christ who we read grew in wisdom
and stature and in favor with God
and Man. From this I can condense
four aspects of a child’s growth, the
physical, the mental, social and the
spiritual.
Physical Growth
Extensive research has shown
that a baby benefits greatly when
he or she is breastfed. It is a baby’s
Rev. Ezekiel Joshua
right .Breast milk is nutritious, free
and packed with antibodies that
promote immunity. Breastfeeding
also helps a baby to bond with the
mother enabling healthy emotional
attachment to the mother.
In our effort to provide for our
................
59

children’s physical needs it is
important that we do not fall into the
trap of comparing our lifestyle with
that of our neighbors or relatives. It
is good and healthy that our children
understand the reality of our
financial limitations and it is
important that we help and encourage
them to make the adjustments
required whilst teaching them to be
thankful for what they have
received. However if we ourselves
are prone to compare our financial
and material circumstances with
that of others our children will most
likely follow suit and this allows
bitterness and self pity to fester.
For food, clothing and recreation,
it is important to distinguish between
wants and needs. I personally
believe that a child who has not
struggled for anything may not find
the motivation for faith and trust in
God, prayer and hard work. It is
here that parents need to be disciplined
in providing for their needs
whilst keeping the long term
consequences in focus. From my
observation and experience of many
Malayalee families I can contend
that it is easy to substitute our time
and presence in our children’s lives
with an excess of food, clothes or
toys but the consequences are far
reaching, the least of which is that
a child may not learn to be a good
steward of the resources he or she
receives.
Mental Growth
Education quite easily springs to
our mind when we think of our
children’s mental or intellectual
growth. Unfortunately once again
from my observation and experience
of many Malayalee families I know
that there are many parents who are
obsessed with their children
outshining every other child at
school or in the community. By
nature we all love to see our children
topping the School and being
admitted to the supposed to be “best
course” in the so called “best
institution”. Quite often parents
pressurize their children in the hope
of fulfilling their own unfulfilled
dreams or goals or because they feel
................
60
the need to compete with their
neighbors or relatives. Whilst it
important to encourage a spirit of
excellence and conscientious-ness
it is important to recognize that our
child is unique and that God has a
definite plan for him or her. We
should bear in mind that a grade of
95% and above or admission in the
best course or institution or failure
in class 10 is not the index of the
success or failure in life .Some
children may be late bloomers or
their talents and potential may lie
elsewhere. Parents who are
supportive and patient will impact
their children’s emotional growth
constructively.
Social Growth
As witnesses to the world
around us it is important that our
children grow as good and fit
members of our family, church and
the society. A child begins the
process of forming habits soon after
birth and therefore repeated and
systematic correction of all wrong
habits developed is crucial. At the
very early age when only pain and
pleasure are understood physical
punishment seems to be the best
form of correction and is endorsed
by the Bible as seen in Proverb
13:24, 19:18, 22:6, 15, 23:13, 14, and
29; 15, 17.During the last century
this teaching underwent shift due to
the emphasis that children should
not be given physical punishment
nor should they go through
frustration. This was on the basis
of the theories of a psychologist
named Sigmund Freud. His theories
were accepted as science and fact
A child begins the process of
forming habits soon after birth and
therefore repeated and systematic
correction of all wrong habits
developed is crucial.
without its efficacy having been
tested on society or for that matter
even on his own family. Freud’s
teachings emphasized reasoning
with children and the avoidance of
frustration in childhood. The rise in
lawlessness in our society during the
second part of the last century was
the result of this teaching, the
emphasis being on “my right” “I
deserve it”, “I don’t care”, “I will
get what I want” etc and no
responsibilities. The proverb “Spare
the rod, spoil the child” is based on
the Biblical teaching of physical
chastisement for correction of
children. This was rewritten by
Freud to say “spare the rod and save
the Child”. This attack on the Bible
was accepted and put in to practice
producing almost two generations
prone to defiance and rebellion.
Instead of benefiting life as Freud
believed it has played havoc in our
society and finally many modern
Psychologists who discount Freud’s
theories have come up with a
statement “Spare the Freud and
save the Child”!Many modern
Psychologists believe that as
frustrations cannot be avoided in
real life, it is important that
children should experience
the reality of life as this
enable the growth
of resilience and
determina-tion
which will help
a child face the
stru-ggles and
obstacles that

he or she may face as they grow
into adult-hood.
Our character is the sum total
of the habits we develop.
Consequently correction needs to
come into play at the same time as
habits are being formed. Age two
is said to be the most critical time
and is often called the “Terrible
two’s”. It is at this time that a child
learns to say a lot of “no’s” which
often indirectly means,” “I am in
control of everything,” “I know
better,” “My desire will prevail” “I
will not obey” etc. It is here that
consistent correction is essential
until the habit is discarded.
Children may use different
means to avoid punishment or to get
what they want. This may include
playing one parent against the other
such asking the other parent’s
permission when the request has
already been denied or using a
previous punishment as a license to
misbehave. It is in such circumstances
that both the parents have
to be focused and consistent until it
results in change. Never give up
saying he or she will not change as
this tender age of two to three is
the best time to bring your child to
an appreciation of obedience.
When you are wrong
You may not be always right
when you punish your child. There
are two possibilities, either you
misjudged the situation and punished
a child when he or she was not
wrong or you used punishing your
child as a means to vent your own
frustration or emotions. I believe this
is a very good opportunity to
evidence your Christian character
by apologizing for your mistake to
your child. They will learn to respect
your openness, integrity and
honesty. If you do not do so this
may lead to bitterness which can last
for a lifetime. When our children
know that we are just, loving, honest
and open to correction, they value
correction and love to be obedient
even when it is difficult. Children
learn more by observation than by
our words of teaching. Children are
very good observer’s. If a father
smokes and prohibits his son from
smoking it is unlikely to have any
effect and the child will begin by
experimenting with his father’s
cigarette butts.
Home is the place where we live
unmasked and our children see us
more or less as we are. If you
indulge in criticizing your fellow
believers, pastors or relatives, your
children will also develop a similar
attitude. If forgiveness, peaceful
interaction and honesty even when
there is possible loss, is what your
children see in you their character
will be moulded similarly. What they
learn from Church and Sunday
school needs to be confirmed by
your life.
It is important that parents
monitor what the children watch on
the TV, whom do they have contact
with etc. Parents often awake to
this realization only when their
children enter the teen age years.
However I believe 9 to 13 is a
mistaken period when parents think
that their children are still very
young. In today’s technological
world and with the growth of
mobiles, the internet and social
networking many teenagers are
groomed and enticed by older adults
and may be tempted to enter in to
closer intimacy with them. I believe
that if there is nothing untoward
there is no need of any privacy that
leaves the parents unaware at this
age. It needs to be understood that
adolescence and teenage is often a
time when emotions blind reason
and wisdom and when our children
can enter into all sorts of emotional
decisions without considering the
consequences.
Spiritual Growth
It is very important for Christian
parents that we pray, teach and
provide opportunities for a child to
make a commitment to the Lord. A
child may decide to give his heart
to the Lord as early the age of five.
It is good to insist on a few minutes
of personal Bible study and prayer.
This may seem like a sort of routine
but slowly guidance may be given
for meaningful personal Bible study
and devotion. If a child has
developed personal devotion that is
meaningful before he enters teen
age, there is very little chance for
going astray. In the beginning prayer
and worship may largely be the
result of imitation. Let us accept it,
but gradually it needs to be guided
to be more meaningful and sincere.
We parents quite often insist that
our children follow the traditions of
our church or our forefathers
although we know that not all
traditions are Biblical or even right.
Is it not good that we correct
our children from the meaningless
use of words and phrases as early
as possible? I remember one
Sunday, immediately after I gave
my heart to the Lord, as I testified
and sat down a senior brother whom
I respect very much asked me
“What were your troubles and
tribulations last week?” because
those were the words that I had
used a few times in the testimony.
Actually I had not experienced any
trouble or tribulations but these were
words that I picked up from other
testimonies. That little correction
has helped me to choose my words
carefully as much as possible and
to be honest and meaningful in my
testimonies, prayer and later in
preaching. This includes avoiding
the words like Hallelujah or praise
the Lord when I don’t really mean
it although I use these words
liberally in my worship, praise and
personal prayer time. It is important
that we introduce the spiritual
growth formula of “Speak to God,
Let God speak to you, and speak
about God” even from early teen
age.
Our children are our heritage.
Our faith that saves the fallen
humanity needs to be handed down
from generation to generation. So
having children, disciplining them,
encouraging them to be spiritually
tuned by being a role model to them
is extremely significant. What if, we
have every thing else on earth but
do not have God fearing children to
inherit us?

The name is Abram, and not Abraham – your
eyes weren’t playing tricks on you. Abram
became Abraham much later, which symbolically
testifies that life is a progressive process of Godinduced
change. It’s difficult to understand this Biblical
legend without some background investigation. It must
be kept in mind that three of the world’s most
significant religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam
– draw different views of his life, and are also
nicknamed Abrahamic faiths.
Abram first heard God’s call while part of a family
with no reputed spiritual heritage. For all those who
believe that circumstance defines character, Abram
doesn’t fit the theory at all. How starkly in contrast
Abram stands, as compared to us who can’t discern
God’s voice even while surrounded by religiosity on
all sides! The Bible leaves out the specific details of
how Abram first picked up the Heavenly signals, or
recognized them for their true worth, but that’s part of
the mystery of true spirituality. I wonder how many
readers would linger on this article if Abram’s precise
technique was known. We’d all be busy trying to ape
Paul C. Mathew
and market Abram’s recipe for instant faith, just as
we’re already attempting in other spheres of our
professional lives. It’s heartening to know that the
Almighty draws us to Himself in so many different
and unpredictable ways, and the only common thread
for our success is the undying trust we place on Him,
come what may.
At that time, Abram had just emerged from a
thumping victory in battle against other powerful kings
in the area. All the same, God knew that Abram was
uneasy within. Abram had left much behind to follow
the Voice he heard years ago, but it felt like he was
still on square one. The original Divine promise had
been centred on the fruitfulness of Abram’s family
life, and to date, there was no sign of this.
As Abram expressed his anxiety concerning the heir
to his estate, God reaffirmed His promise and pointed
Abram to the twinkles dotting the night sky. To win
over the troubled warrior, God suggested a game of
childish innocence and simplicity – counting the stars!
Feeling nostalgic already? We fancied that we’d seen
it all and that our elementary school mathematics
71
................

teacher had equipped us well for the
venture. And so we began. Yet, in
the end, we all gave up the game
for the sheer limitlessness of the
number. “So shall your descendants
be”, God vowed. The celestial lights
were not new to Abram, yet this
moment of revelation transformed
his view deeply. In effect, God was
telling the saint that he’d still not
seen all that God could do.
Nature surrounds us in all its
created splendor. Man is unique in
his capability to appreciate the
beauty of the universe. Nobody has
created science, we’re merely
observing that which already exists.
Interestingly, human science is
generally limited to the five senses.
Even the greatest scientist can only
retrieve information through these,
and cannot say whether other higher
senses exist or not. This is
equivalent to saying that a tape
recorder that “hears” and “speaks”
can know nothing about smell –
being limited to the two senses by
design. We do well if we employ our
God-given talents to explore and
study our surroundings.
However, nature’s ultimate
objective is not simply this. It holds
in its heart priceless nuggets that
point us to the mind of our Creator.
Nevertheless, as was Abram’s case,
and ours, this “higher” information
is not readily edible for our five
senses. It takes a Divine act of
revelation to digest such greater
sense. Abram saw the sufficiency
of his sovereign God in the midst of
his depressing problem, and
gathered courage to continue the
journey. This responsive faith scored
high in God’s marking scheme for
righteousness.
In the absence of revelation,
humans stumble upon the same
childish assumption of knowing
everything on their own. Which
turned out to be Mr. Bright’s fatal
error.
Mr. Bright decided to take up the
challenge and count the stars. He
felt that the naked eye was not
sufficient, and so began to develop
complicated instruments to sharpen
his gaze into the heavens. Next, was
an ambitious project of discovering,
naming and classifying new stars.
The burgeoning greatness of his
knowledge somehow convinced
him that God and spirituality were
alien to science, and therefore Mr.
Bright brilliantly suggested that a
drive to cleanse academic circles of
this ‘alien’ culture was necessary.
While Abram was busy learning
faith and moving towards the
Heavenly places, Mr. Bright was
lecturing to packed auditoriums
about the greatness of man and the
delusion of religion. His report card
in Heaven had a lot of zeroes, but
how would he know that?
Mr. Bright lived a good life, by
the way. Comfort in the bank and a
loving family at home – what more
could he ask for? Yet, it irked him
to think that all of his knowledge
could not formulate a comfortable
solution to the universal problem of
death, or even predict a glimpse of
the reality on the other side of that
yawning doorway. He guessed that
only dust and bones would remain.
The day of death arrived – and
in moments, Mr. Bright’s eyes
opened to discover the literal
meaning of a ‘grave mistake’.

Youth & Media
Influence of media on young
people continues to be a matter
of debate for the past several
decades. Some Christian leaders
have taken up the role of ‘devil’s
advocate’ in the arguments on this
topic.
The Media influence is not
alone on young people. It has
mesmerized all age groups even
infants. But here I converge on
young people in a Christian perspective
as they form major part of
my present audience.
Mass Media in general includes
Internet, Television, Film, Radio,
Mobile devices, Video games,
News papers etc which are used
for mass communication. The print
media was the first one which
existed for several centuries.
Towards the end of 19th century
Radio was invented and later the
advent of Television and Internet
totally captivated the present
world.
Certainly media has its positive
impact on the society which cannot
be ignored. For instance, the ‘news
broadcast’ through TV is so
imperative in this fast moving world;
relevance of Internet in education
is unquestionable; role played by
Mobile phones in telecommunication
is inexorable. However the
Christian concerns rise when the
ethical, moral and spiritual values
of the society are at stake due to
the media influence. And at the
same time there is no sign of this
influence vanish away any time
soon.
God is the source of all media
but perverted, ungodly media
comes from Satan who propagate
his destructive ideas to get God’s
people out of the ‘Grace circle’ and
drag them after worldly passions.
Facts…..
Young people are fascinated by
the spells of the media to crave
after worldly patterns and life
styles. This type of influence was
not that strong at any other time in
history. They are spending their
prime time connecting with the
mainstream media through TV,
Internet, Video games, and Music
– than ever before. A study
conducted by the Kaiser Family
Foundation in United States
revealed that the young people (age
group up to 18 years) spend 44.5
hours (in a week) watching TV/
playing video games/listening to
music etc; 63% of them live in
homes where the TV is on during
most meal and 53% of them have
no parental restrictions / rule on
watching TV. This may not be
exactly matching with the Asian
scenario but no one would deny the
fact that a considerable time of our
children are consumed by TV and
Dr. Sini Joyce Mathew
Internet.
The teen violence and crime
rate in the world has tremendously
increased during past decades in
which Media played an important
role. It has been observed that the
theme of more than 90% of the
most popular video games sold in
the market is violence. The WWF
(World Wrestling Federation)
through their TV shows attracts
millions of viewers every day
promoting violence, vulgarity and
profane messages across the
world.
In USA various studies have
proved that the media has direct
influence on many reported
violence and crime in the country.
A youth who killed a police officer
stated in court that he was
influenced by the lyrics of Tupac
Shakur’s song “2 Pacalypse Now”
which glamorizes the killing of a
................
83

policeman. The murder and torture
of an young girl Elyse Pahler has
been linked to the song “Spill
Blood” by Slayer. There are
thousands of such reports recorded
in the ‘Crime Diaries’ of different
countries.
According to the NIMF website
of USA, six prominent medical
groups (American Academy of
Pediatrics, American Academy of
Child & Adolescent Psychiatry,
American Psychological Association,
American Medical
Association, American Academy
of Family Physicians and the
American Psychiatric Association)
also warn the country on the
dangerous effects of media
violence on children.
Heavy metal music has always
been an avenue for counter-culture
and liberal thinking. Much of the
music’s lyrics condone free sex,
drug uses and radical and often
dangerous lifestyles. The media
has been proved influencing the
moral values and permissive
attitude about sex. Specifically a
study done on MTV’s influence
upon college age youth revealed
that the young people, who
watched MTV regularly, have
dramatically developed positive
attitudes toward premarital sex.
They became more accepting of it
as compared to those who did not
watch MTV. In a similar study high
school students were found to be
more likely to approve of sex
before marriage after watching
less than an hour of MTV!
Studies also have shown that
teens have a more positive mindset
about drinking and their own
likelihood to drink after viewing
alcohol advertisements.
Identification with TV/Film
stars (girls & boys), female models
(girls) and male athletes (boys)
contribute much toward body
dissatisfaction by teenagers. These
youth felt less confident, angrier
and more disgruntled with their
weight and physical appearance
generating a negative desire for
thinness among men and body
dissatisfaction among women.
................

Crime in India Statistics (2009)
published by National Crime
Records Bureau records highest
number of crimes by young people.
The increase of juvenile crimes
(year by year) in India also ring
alarm bell. One of the main reasons
for this situation is the negative
influence of media.
In ‘teen years,’ the media
replaces and or takes on a more
significant influence upon them
than at any other time in their lives.
They imbibe anything that is novel,
fascinating or entertaining. They try
them in life, even without
considering its consequences.
To young friends ….
So, I implore you my young
friends - Watching worldly movies,
TV shows, browsing profane
internet web sites, listening to
ungodly music and involving in
indecent applications of Mobile
phone for pleasure and entertainment
will strain your relationship
with God. It will knock you down
into spiritual amnesia and making
you overly carnal in your thinking
and desires. Connecting to spiritual
matters become so difficult and
lead to spiritual insensitivity.
Gradually you will drift away into
the clutches of sin and its serious
consequences.
Dwelling on negative media or
ungodly media also will generate
negative attitude towards your
parents and family members. It will
break your social relationships,
education and hence the future too.
And finally you will be a looser and
you alone will be responsible for all
loses.
The ultimate dangers due to the
influence of ungodly media can be
listed as below :
Wasting God-given time
Conforming to the pattern of this
world (accepting values and
lifestyle from media icons)
Living in a fantasy world instead
of the real world
Spiritual apathy and lack of
hunger for spiritual matters
Ending with major health (physical
and psychological) issues
Leading to unholy relationship
with opposite sex
Drug abuses,
Crime, so on and so forth...
Like a leper having no feel of
pain, suffers major injuries on his
body and bleeding to death, a young
heart negatively influenced by
media move from deep to deeper
troubles in life.
To parents …
An intact family which keeps
Christian values will be able to
resist the negative influence of
Media. But parents who dwell on
ungodly media cannot correct
children. Families which let the
‘Trojan horse’ of the media into
their home – and doing little (or
nothing) to set limits and boundaries
are heading towards danger. There
are no easy answers – but parents
must be pro-active in addressing
the media issues in their home.
They cannot assume that the
movies a child watches, the music
they listen to, or the video games
they play, will not affect their
values and their relationship with
God. The faithfulness of parents to
God also matters much in this
matter.
The most important step to help
your children to make them able to
use the media properly and to battle
against its tidal waves is by helping
them to understand the spiritual
values and the difference between
good and evil. It is your
responsibility to convince them
about what makes a man worthy,
humble, kind, loving and generous.
And you also need to teach them
the value of life and about God’s
purpose about mankind.
Bible says ‘Do not love the
world or the things in the world. If
anyone loves the world, the love of
the Father is not in him. For all that
is in the world— the desires of the
flesh and the desires of the eyes
and pride in possessions—is not
from the Father but is from the
world. And the world is passing
away along with its desires, but
whoever does the will of God
abides forever - 1 John 2:15-17
(English Standard Version).

For it became him, for whom are
all things, and through whom are
all things, in bringing many sons unto
glory, to make the author of their
salvation perfect through sufferings.”
Hebrews 2:10 (ASV).
Everywhere, from Greenland to
New Zealand we hear about BEING
BORN AGAIN.
What is so special about it?
Let us examine the importance
of BEING BORN AGAIN from the
life of Jesus Christ. Till the
resurrection of Jesus Christ there
was only one type of people on
Earth. The pattern was LIVE . . .
THEN DIE. If you study the life
pattern of the whole population of
people who lived on earth before
Christ, they were of the same
pattern, irrespective of their deeds.
That means live on earth for some
years, go through the biological life
cycle that is required to sustain on
earth, die and get buried in earth.
But, come Jesus Christ, there is an
entirely new pattern, live on earth,
get buried in earth and coming back
to life again to live further on earth.
In case of Jesus Christ it was 40
days after death. So he was the first
man who ever lived on earth, surely
died on cross, death certified, dead
body got buried in a grave sealed by
the government and protected by
heavy military soldiers. But on the
third day he resurrected to life by
himself by breaking the roman seal.
The FIRST BORN from death.
Again, history tells us he walked
on earth for further 40 days mingling
with his friends and relatives
exhibiting social life, moving around
teaching. What is so special about
it?
Everything is special in these 40
days of resurrected life. This is a
resurrected or born-again life
(speaking the things concerning the
kingdom of God. Acts 1:3).
What is the importance of this
born again walk of life?
The importance is that Jesus was
taken into heaven (ascention) from
this phase of life. So anybody who
desires to be taken up with Jesus to
heaven should attain this phase of
life. Please note that, while walking
in this earth for nearly thirty three
years Son of God Jesus Christ was
not taken up into heaven. But, he
became eligible for this phase of life
on earth after the resurrection only.
Similarly human being should be
born again by the Word of God and
water of baptism to have a
resurrected life while living on this
earth. This life has another speciality
as evident through Romans 6:20, 21.
What fruit then had ye at that
time in the things whereof ye are
now ashamed? for the end of those
things is death. But now having
been freed from sin and enslaved to
God, you derive your benefit,
resulting in sanctification, and the
outcome, eternal life.
The life of a born again Christian
is depicted in Colossians 3:1-3.
Therefore if you have been raised
up with Christ, keep seeking the
things above, where Christ is, seated
at the right hand of God.
Christian Life
Pastor Mathews George
2 Set your mind on the things
above, not on the things that are on
earth.
3 For you have died and your life
is hidden with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, is
revealed, then you also will be
revealed with Him in glory.
Isn’t it clear now, why the born
again people who follows the first
born Jesus Christ spend most of
their time in bible studies, gospel
work, fasting, prayer, conventions
etc... which is enhancing to a
spiritual life?
So being born again is to follow
the First Born to be with him where
he is now (John 14:1-4).
Lets pray,
“Dear Father, please help me to
be born again with a spiritual nature
so that I can follow your begotten
HOLY son to be with Him forever.
In Jesus name, Amen.”

The scripture says the stories of
many women but unfortunately
we have seldom heard of a strong
prophetess, Huldah, recorded in II
Kings 22 & II Chronicles 34.
Huldah lived during the reign of
King Josiah, the righteous king of
Judah. During the 18th year of his reign
he focused to renovate the Temple of
the Lord and thus he commissioned
Hilkiah the High Priest for the total
reconstruction of Solomon’s temple.
During the revamping, Hilkiah came
across “Book of the Law.” The high
priest took the script to the King’s
palace and gave it to a scribe
(secretary), shaphan, who read it to
King Josiah. Josiah was distressed by
the content of the Book of Law and
tore his robe in grief and repentance
and he gave orders to the High priest
Hilkiah and other officials to seek a
prophetic word. They went to
prophetess Huldah, who lived in
Jerusalum. She was married to
Shallum, the “keeper of royal
wardrobe.”
Huldah was one of the strong
prophetesses who lived during
Josiah’s reign. Deborah was the only
female judge among 13 male judges.
Huldah was the only female prophet
among dozens of male prophets
mentioned in the Bible.
There were many male voices to
which King Josiah could have listened,
why would he choose Huldah?
Here I would like to highlight few
qualities of Huldah which says why
she was special.
1. Huldah was Ready for the Lord
Bible says, Josiah gave orders, “Go
and inquire of the Lord for me and
for the people and for all Judah.”
Huldah represents the countless wise
women who when the time was right,
have greatly provided a needed word
for the King and for the nation. It is
believed that Huldah lived during the
time of Jeremiah and Zephaniah, but
still they were more interested to hear
the word from Huldah. Her wisdom
and insight was well known to Josiah
the King.
They knew she was a Godly
women and she was available for the
Lord any time His people needed.
2. Huldah was a respected
prophetess
Many biblical writers as well as
traditions has focused our attention on
the men in Israel’s history, women are
usually mentioned on relationship (as
mother, wife or daughter) to a man.
There are women highlighted in the
bible who have authority and power.
Yet, Huldah emerges as a respected
prophet, a strong influential woman,
well-known to the King and who has
an honoured place in Jerusalem. Also,
we have to notice that the priest of
the Lord went to a woman for spiritual
decision and these men stood before
her for advice, her words was
respected and obeyed. Huldah also
shows that to deliver a word of the
Lord a good prophet does not have to
say much. Those who are not always
the loudest and most talkative may be
the one God calls on to deliver a crucial
word at just the right moment.
3. Huldah was faithful and strong
Huldah is a biblical figure from
whom we can learn, she was not
afraid to speak out or reveal the truth,
whether good or bad. During her days
she would have been one of the bold
leaders known by all. She knew that
the people of Israel have sinned against
God, yet she had to speak out the truth
about the nation despite of any
obstacles. She did not hide anything,
she knew that the king is in trouble
and her words gave him encouragement
and hope to eradicate the idolatry
from the people.
4. Huldah brought revival in Judah
Even though she disappears
completely from the biblical screen we
can see that a great reformation
Jenny Jenn Jacob
happened in Judah after her
statements. Josiah shared the word of
God from Huldah to the people of
Israel from the least to the greatest
and they all renewed the covenant of
God. He removed all idols and all the
other detestable things seen in Judah
and Jerusalem.
Josiah also restored the celebration
of the feast of Passover that had been
long neglected by the nation. The Bible
says, “Neither in the days of the judges
who led Israel nor in the days of the
kings of Israel and the kings of Judah
had any such Passover been observed”.
A nation took a prophetic
women’s word. There was a great
revival and she made an incredible
impact on Israel and the history of the
Hebrews.
One of the Christian writers has
addressed her as: “The women who
unveiled the future of a Nation.”
Are we strong and faithful enough
to stand for the lord? Huldah lived in
Jerusalem and it is believed that
“Huldah Gate” which is still seen in
Jerusalem in second temple has
connection with the prophetess
Huldah. Also her Tomb named as
“Huldah’s Tomb” still remains in
Jerusalem. This shows that she was
a great prophetic woman who was
mightily used by God and her ministry
is still preserved in the hearts of many.

The church is a body and every
body has certain features. A
body primarily needs a skeleton to
protect the internal systems, to
keep the muscles and the flesh
functioning. What we see externally
is the body, but the proper
functioning of the body requires the
support of its framework or
skeleton. A church needs to have
the right frame work to function
effectively. There are certain
skeletal truths that a church must
be committed to if it is to have a
sound structure. Those doctrines
are unalterable and nonnegotiable.
They cannot be compromised in
any manner. A church ceases to be
church the moment its skeleton is
destroyed. Let us look into a few
structural truths that every church
needs to maintain for its very
survival as a living body of Christ.
Sound Doctrine
Many Christians are vague
about doctrine. The authority of
Scripture is undermined in many of
the contemporary churches.
Preaching of the living word of God
with its inherent authority is not
very much appreciated by many.
One of the reasons for such apathy
is a great number of superfluous
believers who throng to the church
meetings and consider the worship
services as a fulfillment of their
Biblical love is not an
emotion, rather an act of
sacrificial service. It is not
an attitude; it’s an action.
Love always does
something. The words used
to describe love in 1
Corinthians 13: 4-7 are all
verbs. Love is an act of
service that flows from a
heart of humility.
spiritual duty rather than to have
more of Christ or of His teachings.
Many of such believers are more
attracted to shallow sermons and
other church services that provide
them temporal happiness. Many of
the sermons preached in the
churches are nice and interesting.
Sometimes that makes you feel
warm, fuzzy, sad, or exited. But
rarely do we hear doctrine taught
or discussed. Very few preachers
explain the truths about God, life,
death, heaven, hell, sin, spiritual
blessings, Holy Spirit, the privileges
of a believer in Christ, the flesh or
the world. We need absolute truths
we can hold on to. 1 Timothy 4:6
states “If thou put the brethren in
remembrance of these things, thou
shalt be a good minister of Jesus
Christ, nourished up in the words
of faith and of good doctrine, unto
which thou hast attained”.
Spiritual Authority
A church must understand that
Christ is the Head of church and
that He mediates His rule in the
church through godly elders. 1
Thess. 5:13-14; Heb. 13:7, 17.
Hebrews 13 says to submit to those
over you in the Lord, for they watch
over your souls. A Pastor or an
Elder may not be more gifted than
all other believers in a church. But
Spiritual Authority shall be
unaltered to maintain the theocratic
structure of God’s kingdom.
Jesus had twelve apostles.
Every time the biblical writers list
them, Peter’s name is the first. He
was always the spokesman. That
does not mean that he was better
than the others. He simply had the
gift of speaking whereas others
were gifted in other ways.
Peter and John always traveled
together. Because of that, you
would think that John didn’t say
much. But he wrote the gospel of
Church
Pastor Johnson K. Samuel
John, 1,2 and 3 of the epistle of John
and the book of Revelation. But
every time he was with Peter in
the first twelve chapters of Acts,
he was silent. Why? Because
Peter had the gift of speaking.
Barnabas was a great teacherprobably
the leading one in the
early church. But when Barnabas
and Paul traveled together, even
unbelievers realized that Paul was
the chief speaker.
Love
Contrary to worldly love,
Biblical love is always agape.
Worldly love is counterfeit and
object-oriented. That kind of love
seeks only to get and not to give.
Biblical love is not an emotion,
rather an act of sacrificial service.
It is not an attitude; it’s an action.
Love always does something. The
words used to describe love in
................
105

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 are all verbs.
Love is an act of service that flows
from a heart of humility.
Biblical love meets people’s
needs. Jesus says in Luke 10:27,
“Thou shalt love…thy neighbour as
thyself.” Jesus narrated the parable
of the Good Samaritan to explain
the nature of Biblical love that
reaches out the people on their
needs. God always look for Good
Samaritans who are readily
available to cater the needs of
people in the churches. Such act
of love is always beyond the level
of emotional attachment or an
attraction for him to qualify the
standard of Biblical love. Even the
ordinance of washing of feet
instituted by Jesus was to
demonstrate the importance of
service in the church. Display of
Godly love can be done by serving
others in their needs. Churches
have varied needs and have
multitude of opportunities for
service. This needs the heart of a
servant to reach out the people in
their needs.
Epaphroditus was a helper and
companion of Paul. Paul writes
about him in Philippians 2:25:
“Epaphroditus, my brother and
companion in labor, and fellow
soldier, but your messenger….
ministered to my need.” People like
Epaphroditus are going to be
noticed in heaven.
Unity
Jesus prayed that all believers
would be one, just as He and the
Father are one, so that the world
would know He was sent by the
Father. He prayed that we would
be unified (John 17:21). That
basically refers to the unity of
believers as a result of salvation,
but Jesus also wants us to have
unity in the life and purpose of the
church. The apostle Paul told the
Ephesians to endeavor “to keep the
unity of the Spirit in the bond of
peace” (Eph. 4:3). We are not
generating the unity, rather
maintaining the unity already
created by the Holy Spirit.
Unity is an important part of
church life. Unity brings God glory
and honors His name. Satan is
trying to divide the churches.
Church diverts from its core
functions and the focus on God’s
commission is lost when it is divided.
God’s work in a divided church is
minimal and the Spirit is always at
grief while a church passes through
division. More time is wasted in
resolving the issues rather than
fulfilling the spiritual work the Lord
wants the church to perform. Unity
was the absolute desire of New
Testament writers. Paul exhorted
the Corinthian belivers in 1 Cor.
1:10-11. “I beseech you, brethren,
by the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that ye all speak the same
thing, and that there be no divisions
among you, but that ye be perfectly
joined together in the same mind
and in the same judgment.”
For a church to be effective as
the Body of Christ, it has to have
the right frame work. For a proper
frame work, sound doctrine shall
be preached, people shall be
submissive to the spiritual authority,
maintain a deep desire to love and
serve others with a unified mind.
Such a church will be a testimony
to the world and will magnify the
name of the Lord.

One of the main obstacles in evangelism may be our lifestyle
which is not an example to others. When people see the
inconsistencies in our speech and action, our lavish lifestyles,
they are left wondering, “Which Jesus are they talking about?”
The people around us should know the Christ who took the
form of a servant and gave his very life for others.
Evangelization is the great
commission given by Jesus to
His disciples. The process of
discipleship starts with evangelization.
Therefore, a disciple should
always set an example for evangelization.
‘To make all people
disciples of Jesus’ is the great
commission. Every pastor is a
pastor because of the great commission.
Pastoring the church is an
important responsibility, and
evangelization is a part of his
pastoral responsibility.
The pastor of a locality is
responsible to give leadership for
the evangelization of that locality.
Therefore, he should always set an
example for evangelization. He has
to take initiative and prepare the
church for evangelization. One of
the biggest tragedies we are facing
today is that the Church is not
giving enough importance to
evangelization. An important reason
for that could be the difficulty
associated with evangelization.
When we evangelize, we are
entering enemy’s territory. Our real
skills will be tested there. Is it sheer
cowardice that gives us satisfaction
in caring for the flock which was
handed over to us by somebody
else? Is it not true that the growth
of the church is stunted in most
traditional churches? We rarely see
new believers coming to the
church. The church shows only
biological growth. Why is it so? We
have lost the perspective about the
urgency of evangelization. We do
not make the effort to apply
creative methods of evangelism in
a technologically advanced world.
In every other area we see rapid
growth. What about the growth of
traditional churches both in quality
and quantity? Believers can grow
as disciples only if they are
exposed to the needs and possibilities
of the great commission.
Earlier, we had street meetings,
house visits, tract distribution, and
other methods for spreading the
gospel. Now that has come down
and we have not identified many
new methods to reach the new
generation. There are many
reasons for this. One important
reason is that we are very busy.
We have no time. After we receive
a good education, a good job and
money, we are ashamed to go and
stand on the streets and preach
Jesus. We are more interested in
getting quick promotions but do not
think about how to win souls for
Christ. We do not even bother to
live a victorious Christian life so
that people who see our lives are
influenced by our testimony. Many
times as a church, our minimum aim
is to have a mega convention. Who
are the audience? We spend large
amounts of money to give the same
message to believers who have
already heard it so many times.
Evangelization is not quite
fashionable. Don’t we servants of
God and elders have a role in this?
We have to arrange and conduct
marriages, burials, house warming
prayers, send people abroad,
receive people coming from there,
Mission
Dr. Aby P. Mathew
conduct seminars…. After all this,
where do we have the time for
evangelization? Pastor K.T.Eapen,
who has been working in Bihar for
the past 40 years is an example to
me in his thirst for evangelization.
When we hear him preach in the
villages and towns of Bihar, even
today in his seventies, we can see
in him the thirst for evangelization.
One of the main obstacles in
evangelism may be our lifestyle
which is not an example to others.
When people see the inconsistencies
in our speech and action, our
lavish lifestyles, they are left
wondering, “Which Jesus are they
talking about?” The people around
us should know the Christ who took
the form of a servant and gave his
very life for others. I know a sister
whose husband is from another
faith. She, her children and her
relatives are believers. They
attended the marriage of a believer
relative. She told me that she had
to remain silent when her husband,
a Chartered Accountant by profession,
asked her, Is this what your
Jesus wants to see? I think your
Jesus would be happier if they
would spend some of that money
they lavishly spent to display their
wealth on the poor.” If each pastor
or believer is a true disciple of
................
115

Jesus, we will never have to be
ashamed of the gospel. Paul was
never ashamed of the gospel and
one of the reasons was that he
walked the talk.
The pastor’s vision for evangelism
should be beyond the narrow
boundaries of his locality or his
people. A pastor should aim to
partner in spreading the gospel to
unreached places at the earliest. To
collect information about such
places, to pray for such places, to
share with the church about the
people in these places, to go to such
places, to encourage the church to
adopt such places and bear the
responsibility of evangelism in
unreached places — these are
characteristics of a good pastor.
Today we have more than the
required number of evangelists,
pastors, bible schools, and resources
in already reached areas. But
there is no proportionate growth in
the church.
In the course of my studies I
have heard of a term, ‘eutrophication.’
If there are more nutrients
in a pond and no provision for
drainage, life will slowly cease to
exist in the pond. This usually
happens due to the careless
discharge of chemicals into the
ponds from the fields. This type of
slow death due to human negligence
has already taken place in the
churches in many countries. Many
churches have died. They have
been converted into other worship
centers, bars, malls, and theatre. I
read in a magazine that there are
only 2% christians in England
today. Divorces and gay marriages
are on the rise. Why has such a
tragedy befallen England, the
country which sent out hundreds of
missionaries like William Carey
and Rockland? Leadership without
vision and believers who are
satisfied with their own comforts
will definitely lead to such
situations. This situation will prevail
wherever there are churches and
believers who don’t allow the flow
of resources to places that are
hitherto unreached with the gospel.
Once when I was travelling from
Bihar, I happened to interact with
an old lady who was the in charge
of Bramhasamaj in Bihar. While I
was trying to share the gospel with
her she told me that they are buying
churches in England and America
at very low rates as there are no
people to worship in those
churches. A spiritual ‘eutrophication’
has begun in the so-called
churches. We have to act immediately
against this. Let there be
channels flowing out from our
churches. Let the excess resources
flow to more needy places. It will
lead to life in dead places.
Otherwise, we the stewards may
kill those whom we are supposed
to nurture.
So I have made it my aim to
preach the gospel, not where Christ
was named, lest I should build on
another man’s foundation, but as it
is written: “To whom He was not
announce, they shall see; And those
who have not heard shall
understand.” (Romans 15:20,21).

The grass withers and flowers fall
but the word of God stands
forever” (Isa 40: 8)
This verse clearly indicates the
uncertainty of the world and
certainty of the word of God. If we
look at the world around us, it is
not constant; it is changing from time
to time., whether it is technology in
various fields or law governing the
moral conduct of men. The development
revolves around one factor
that is the desires or the comforts
of human beings. The word of God
is not so, it remains the same from
the beginning till the end of the world.
The Word and the World
The word of God refers to
anything God has spoken directly to
man like in time of Adam (Gen. 2:16-
17). It also includes all the promises
and covenants of God with mankind
spoken through prophets in period
of time in old testament and new
testament. In addition to that all the
words of Jesus Christ is also the
word of God, furthermore it is the
written record of biblical events
available to us in the form of bible
in our hands. The Bible clearly states
in Heb.4:12 “for the Word of God is
living and active.”
So, firstly Word of God is living
and active. It has the power to move
any heart and any power in this
world. Secondly, it is creative.
Thirdly, the word of God has the
power to sustain every thing in the
world as mentioned in Heb. 1:3.
Fourthly, the Word of God stands
firm in heaven which psalmist
in119:89 says, “Your word LORD,
is eternal; it stands firm in the
heavens.”
1 Peter 1:24-25 states “... the
grass withers and the flowers
fall, but the word of the Lord
endures forever.”
Jesus himself said in Mathew
5:18 "For truly I tell you, until
heaven and earth disappear, not the
smallest letter, not the least stroke
of a pen, will by any means disappear
from the Law until everything
is accomplished.”
Whereas, the world taken from
a Greek word “kosmos” consist of
the vast system of this age that Satan
promotes and it exists independent
of God. It consists of all evil desires,
plans, conducts and development
which take the children of God away
from him. 1 John 2 :15-16 mentions,
“Do not love the world or anything
in the world.... For everything in the
world—the lust of the flesh, the lust
of the eyes, and the pride of life—
comes not from the Father but from
the world.”
The Word of God in our lives
If we look at the history, we can
see dynamic changes in different
era. Man has changed and developed
from the stone age to agricultural
age to industrial age to now the
computer era. All these changes are
necessary for meeting the demands
of life.
Everyday man is progressing
towards a better life by bringing new
technologies and modern developments.
But what has not changed is
the basic need of man. That is food,
cloth, shelter and psychological need
of love and belongings. The man is
always in search of true companion
who can be trusted and can give him
divine peace and love. God has
promised to be shelter and comfort
for all who seek him. This is a
promise of God that he will never
forsake us nor leave us.
As the children of God, we may
have received divine promises many
times. These promises are the word
of God to us. Our circumstances,
situations and environment may
change but the promises of God will
never fail. We may have received a
God’s Word
Jinsy Anu Mathew
promise of blessing at a time when
we could never think it would
happen but it would happen because
Jesus and his word is same
yesterday, today and forever. “The
world may change but the word of
God never.”
In conclusion, though the word
is static yet it is dynamic and
accomplishes great things as well
described in the book of Isaiah
55:10-11, “As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven, and do
not return to it without watering the
earth and making it bud and
flourish, so that it yields seed for
the sower and bread for the eater, so
is my word that goes out from my
mouth: It will not return to me
empty, but will accomplish what I
desire and achieve the purpose for
which I sent it.” The word of God
has creative, regenerative and
resurrective power. Where as the
world is not static but it is temporary
and will pass away.
Therefore let us stick to the
promise of God. We should not
forget the greatest promise of Jesus
Christ that is his second coming and
let us live a life of purity, fulfilling
the will of God in our life so as to
inherit what is kept for us in eternity
leaving behind the changing world
full of lust, sin and emptiness.

But when Jesus saw it, He
was greatly displeased
and said to them, “Let
the little children come to Me,
and do not forbid them; for of
such is the kingdom of God.
(Mark 10:14). You remember the
story! Some children wanted to
come to Jesus, but the disciples
refused to let them. All of us
are born and bought up in
different life situations. Some are
born rich, while others suffer
living in poverty. Some acquire
higher education while others
don’t get even the most basic
education. In physical health and
talents we all have difference.
Let’s go through the life of
William Carey & Mary Slessor
who sacrificed their time, money,
energy, personal comforts and
even personal well-being for
Jesus – to spread the Good
News.
William was born in a lowly
cottage, in the town of
Paulerspury, England in 1761.
His father was a schoolmaster.
Even in life’s low state William
was cheerful. His favourite
hobby was to observe plants and
animals. William was not only
Renny Vesly
Timothy Institute
fond of butterflies but also
collected a few and took care of
them. From his very young age
itself, whenever he started
anything he would never give up
until he had finished it. One
incident in his childhood is worth
noting. Once, young Carey
climbed a tall tree in search of a
bird’s nest. Before reaching it, he
slipped and fell and had wounds
and bruises. But when he was
able to walk out, after prolonged
confinement indoors, the first
thing he did was to climb that
very tree, and take the nest which
had attracted him. God was
teaching him the great lesson of
overcoming all difficulties by
patience and courage, thus
preparing him for his work.
He sailed to India in 1793
with his wife and four children
to bring the message of
Jesus. Soon after, their five-yearold
son Robert died. Later, other
missionaries along with Carey
had arranged for the translation
of the Scriptures or portions of
them. One evening the printing
office - the fruit of many years
of labour, was on fire and in a
short time it was totally
destroyed. Life was never easy
for Carey. But patiently he
continued preaching and
translating the gospel. The result
was that in 1833, when William
Carey went to eternal abode -
God used him to translate the
Scripture in 40 Indian languages;
hundred schools were formed,
succeeded in doing away with
infanticide and abolition of Sati
(the burning alive of widows
when their husbands died) in
India.
William Carey who is known
as the father of the modern
missionary movement shows

Missionaries are ordinary people who do
extraordinary things by God’s grace. They delight
in spreading the good news of Christ to the lost.
They love the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind
and strength. The Lord works through them to
rescue the lost.
how a life dedicated to God and
obedient to his calling can make
a great difference in the world.
Many educational institutions
and churches use Carey’s saying
as a motto, “Expect great things
from God: attempt great things
for God.” On his deathbed he
called out to a missionary friend,
“Dr. Duff! You have been
speaking about Dr. Carey; when
I am gone, say nothing about Dr.
Carey — speak about Dr. Carey’s
God.”
God prepared another
humble heart for mission work
in Africa. Mary Slessor was born
on December 2, 1848 in
Aberdeen, Scotland. Her father
was a shoemaker. After her
father’s death, she had to support
her home so she went for work
in a weaving mill. Mary was
extremely close to her mother as
they prayed continually for God’s
provision and protection. She
enjoyed going to the church and
Sunday School. She loved to
read. The stories of Livingstone
in Africa were especially
interesting to her. The news of
the death of David Livingstone
created a great wave of
missionary excitement. Mary
Slessor made up her mind to go
out and give her whole life to
Africa. She was a timid girl who
................
138
could not cross a field if there
was a cow grazing in it. She felt
that with God’s help she could
manage any problem that might
stand in her way.
Once, the chief of a village
in Africa was seriously ill. As
days passed, his sickness
increased. The practice was that
if the chief died his wives and
his soldiers would be buried
alive. At this time, Mary Slessor
was in another village which was
far and this news reached her.
Mary decided to walk through
the dense forest which is covered
in darkness even in noontime
and save this village chief. Mary
was fearless to save the village
chief because if she could save
the life of the chief she would
save many lives for God. Before
she started her journey it started
raining heavily. Some of the
villagers discouraged her and
told that the rivers on the way
are deep and there are poisonous
animals. But, nothing would stop
Mary. In that severe rain Mary
travelled and reached the other
village and treated the chief of
the village and brought him back
to life.
At another time when two
cannibal tribes went to battle,
Mary ran ahead of the warriors,
until she stood between the
spear-carrying tribes. She argued
with the chiefs until they gave
up their quarrel. Twins were
always murdered, because one of
them was supposed to be the
child of an evil spirit. Miss
Slessor always got hold of any
twins the moment it was
possible, and some of those she
rescued grew up in her house to
be a comfort and blessing to her,
and a proof to the supersti-tious
folk that even twins were
precious in the sight of God.
Years passed by and Mary
Slessor was known in all the
villages. She was to them, “the
white Ma” who was brave, wise
and kind. For nearly forty years
she carried medicines and
bandages, and visiting the sick
in the riverside villages, telling
them at the same time of the
Saviour. In her dying hour,
surrounded by the native
Christian girls and women, she
was praying in Efik, the language
of the people she had served. In
1915, she went to be with the
Lord. Her closing words to her
old friend were, “God be with
you till we meet again.”
Dear friends, missionaries are
ordinary people who do
extraordinary things by God’s
grace. They delight in spreading
the good news of Christ to the
lost. They love the Lord with all
their heart, soul, mind and
strength. The Lord works
through them to rescue the lost.
Tomorrow’s missionaries begin
with today’s children!

We are living in a world which
is on the fast lane, makes
use of fast changing technology.
This has in turn made us
emotionally dead and our brains
less active. We are left with no
time to think or talk on the emotions
of others and our own or even
dedicate time for the goodness of
our fellow beings. Many people are
ignorant or do not have the time to
think about the purpose of their life
on this earth and life after death or
eternity. God’s ultimate aim for
your life on earth is not comfort,
but character development. Your
character is essentially the sum of
your habits. How to change your
habit to be useful for the God and
your fellow beings? Bible says;
“Train up a child in the way he
should go: and when he is old, he
will not depart from it.”(Prov.22:6)
Teaching the way that a child
should go on this earth is the task
taken by the Sunday school.
Sunday School ministry was started
in the year 1780 in England by a
great man of God called Robert
Raikes. The idea of Sunday School
was adopted very soon by the
neighbouring countries including
Scotland, Ireland and France. By
the late 1800’s, Sunday School was
looked to as the main hope for
church growth and now it is
developed in to a main Bible
education system in almost all the
Churches in the world.
MCC Sunday School –Humble
Beginnings
MCC Sunday School was the
first of its kind among the
expatriate Keralite Christian
community in Abu Dhabi. MCC
Sunday School was formed on 6 th
January 1978 after fervent prayers
and thoughts of many elders in the
city. The Sunday school was
started under the leadership of Br.
Kurian George as Principal and
Brs. T M Abraham, Samuel
Mathew and Sis. Thankamma
Mathew as teachers and with 30
children at the residence of Br.
Thomas Varghese.
Different churches having
similar evangelical faith come
together for the cause of the
Sunday school and worked under
one umbrella for the spiritual
growth of their children which is
quite unique to the city of Abu
O. T. Mathewkutty
Principal, MCC Sunday School
Dhabi.
MCC Sunday School – Today
By the grace of God, the
ministry has been developed
progressively under the leadership
of great men of God especially Br.
V. T. Alexander and Br. Eliazer
John. At present we are having 25
dedicated teachers and about 330
students and classes from KG to
Class XII. By the grace of the
Lord, it was made possible for us
to continue for the last 33 years
with the steady growth and
blessing. We are so proud to
remember that our Ex-students are
spread all over the world and their
prayers and support are great
blessing for the existence our
Sunday school.
MCC Sunday School and
APCCON
All APCCON member
churches are part of MCC Sunday
School and fervent supporters of
this cause. We appreciate the
support and prayer of the
APCCON church pastors and
members for the growth of the
Sunday School. Let the unity of the
Pentecostal groups in Abu Dhabi
strengthen the work of the Lord
through APCCON in this region
and May the good Lord bless
APCCON more and more in the
coming years.

Our nation India just celebrated
its 63rd Republic Day with
great pomp and show. This is the
day that commemorates transition
of India from the British imperial
rule to a republic on January 26,
1950. One question that knocks on
the doors of our patriotic heart is
“are we totally free?” Are we free
from poverty, discrimination,
corruption, injustice etcetera?
Similarly, at this point of time we
as born again Christians need to
evaluate our spiritual freedom in
Christ.
Terry Waite in his book ‘Taken
on Trust’ describes being chained
to the wall and only allowed to go
to the bathroom once a day. He
was shackled to that radiator for
1763 days, almost four years. After
he was released he was walking
past the building where he had been
held and one of his captors calls
him over. The man says ‘Mr. Waite
won’t you come back into captivity
again? We will give you a new set
of handcuffs, a new chain, a new
room and a new radiator to be
chained to.’ Would Terry Waite go
back? No of course he wouldn’t.
Would you?
Paul says in Galatians 5:1 It is
for freedom that Christ has set us
free. Stand firm, then, and do not
let yourselves be burdened again
by a yoke of slavery. Yet when we
look around and observe the lives
of many Christians, we see slavery
and not freedom (Forgive me for
being blunt). A study reveals that
90% of born-again Christians have
140
................
said that they have had problems
in relating to God or to other people
because of shame and guilt over
sexual struggles. We see young
people burdened with guilt, bound
by fear, enslaved to habits which
are sinful and shackled with an
attitude that is far from Christlike.
The common hue and cry of
today which says, do what you
want as long as you don’t hurt
others. But is this really freedom?
What about things that hurt us and
hurt our relationship with Jesus but
don’t hurt other people. Take the
issue of pornography for example.
It takes hold of the mind and locks
sexually charged images in it which
can be instantly recalled even after
many years. An alcoholic can’t get
drunk by fantasizing about a bottle.
A drug addict can’t get high
imagining himself sniffing cocaine.
But some victims of sexual bondage
can get a rush, a high without any
new pictures in the mind to draw
from. It’s a bondage that deceives
us into a heavy damage.
Spiritual freedom is meant for
every Christian, young and old. But
what does it mean to be “free in
Christ”? It is to have the desire and
power to worship God and do His
will. It is to know God’s truth,
believe God’s truth, and live
according to God’s truth. Being
free in Christ means release from
the chains of the sins of our past,
problems of the present, and fears
of the future. It is to walk with God
in the power of the Holy Spirit and
to experience a life of love, joy and
Jerin Sankaramangalam
peace. It is not a life of perfection,
but a progress! All these qualities
may not be yours now, but they are
meant for everyone who is in
Christ.
Tips to overcome
1) Accountability factor:
Confess your sin to another
person (James 5:16).
2) Grace factor: Stand in His
forgiveness (1 John 1:9).
3) Flight factor: Flee temptation,
fill up with God (2 Timothy
2:22).
4) Yielding factor: Walk in His
power (Galatians 5:16).
Imagine that sky diving is your
hobby and you just love the freedom
that gliding down to earth under the
covering of a parachute. You have
the freedom of the skies within the
parameters or boundaries of the
parachute. But say one day you
decide you do not want the
boundaries of the parachute, you
want total freedom. So you jump

True love is the gift of God. An
English poet once said –
“society, friendship & love, is
divinely bestowed upon man”.
Since it is divine, it should be
cherished by every individual. Love
is one thing that can overcome all
the difficulties in life and it is so
powerful that it can turn frowns into
smiles...a curve which could
straighten the whole world.
People around the world are in
search of love and friendship. But
this love and friendship is purely
based on personal gains. In other
words, it is self centered. In this
world of crooked generation, people
are basically lovers of themselves,
lovers of money, or lovers of
pleasure. Everyone befriends each
other for a particular reason.
People get impressed by the
qualities that one possesses. Often
the quality is money, status, power
or sometimes the mere physical
beauty. But these qualities are not
everlasting. They can be compared
to the wind which blows for a
Slave to Freedom
out without your parachute. You
have total freedom for a while but
suddenly the ground looms and now
without a parachute disaster also
looms, in fact death is certain. You
see freedom has boundaries in
order to keep us safe. In Christ we
have freedom – within the
boundaries of God’s Word. We are
free from the punishment of sin,
from eternal death, from the past,
second and then is no more. Also
the cases of friendships, sometimes
people are not accepted among
their friends. This is because the
others think that these people do
not possess a desirable quality
which makes them eligible to
become their friends. The love
displayed in the above cases is
purely worldly. Ultimately selfishness
is at the centre. But true love
originates from god, he loves us
beyond reasons. Unlike the worldly
love, his love is not mixed with
selfishness. His love is pure. God
loves us because we are his
children and he is our father. His
love is an unconditional love like a
mother has towards her child. His
love for us will never change no
matter what happens. He doesn’t
check our colour, our caste, our
creed, beauty or anything. He loves
us just the way we are. In john 3:16
we see the greatest sign of love
that god showed to us when he
surrendered his son to die in
atonement for our sins. This is what
from fear of the future, but we are
not autonomous. We are not free
to do our own thing. We are not
free from responsibility. We are not
freed from love and concern for
others. We are not free to sin.

real love is. Nothing can be
compared to his love. His love is
as high as the skies and none can
reach it. He is an epitome of pure
love.
True love is the gift of god. Even
we need to follow our father and
live a life of love. A love not that
the world searches for but a love
which is divine and noble. Love will
bind us together as it is the bond of
perfection.
“Love wholeheartedly, give
thanks and praise- then you will
discover the fullness of your
life.”
none of us are. It is a call to
perfection, we do not become
perfect the minute we give our life
to Christ, but God with our
permission slowly releases us from
areas in our life where we are not
free. Jesus wants us to experience
the true joy of freedom. Therefore,
let us decide to throw off the every
handcuffs and chains which stops
us from being slaves to freedom in
Christ.

So listen to me when I say my friend.
