Abraham’s Journey to Christ emerged from a seed-thought to do something for the love of Israel: its land, its history, its people, its God, my God. The idea pitted itself against my own doubts stemming from an informal learning in art, history, theology and the relevant sciences. Between the devil and the deep blue sea, this is where my personal relationship with God calls for faith, trust and obedience. But what I envisioned as a few months work stretched to two full years. In the process, it became evident that what mattered more than talent was character. Character that embodies faith, discipline and diligence, without the assurance of money or anyone looking over one’s shoulder, will transform a dreamer into a doer. The experiential process in producing this book has therefore entrenched me deeper in God. Be blessed as Larry James paints words into pictures to the glory of God..

Water baptism technically is when a believer is immersed in water in a public confession of his/her faith in Jesus Christ. Water baptism is an act of obedience to His commands. Water
baptism is a physical show of what spiritually happens in a person’s
life when he or she believes in Jesus. The Bible states: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” II Corinthians 5:17. Water Baptism is an act of obedience and an outward symbol of the internal change after accepting Jesus. 
The contribution of Christians to the West is enormous. Christians were
the first the build hospitals. Initially it was mainly for Christians,
later it was for every one. The beneficiaries were the Muslims who
came to Christian lands to conquer them. Christianity produced leaders
like who served the poor and sick, which is unheard in other religions.
Christians have contributed to improve human life and reduce human
suffering. . . . . . The author presents Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour and how Christianity could change a person’s life in the last two chapters. It
is a wonderful book that should be read by all Christian thinkers and
use this book for evangelizing the intellectuals. All Christian
leaders, pastors, missionaries and professionals should read this book.
Spiritual need touches every class in India, whether traditional village
farmers who have practiced the ways of their fathers for hundreds of
years, or workers in its new and fast-growing hi-tech industries. In
cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad/Secunderabad and Delhi, a new and
upwardly mobile class represents unique challenges. "The rapid growth of
the high-tech industry in India, provides one of the newest, largest,
and most influencial unreached people groups in the country," according
to Dr. T. Valson Abraham (President of India Gospel Outreach). 
Mark Zuckerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook. “Facebook has two
‘newsfeeds,’ a personal one unique to your Facebook home page, and a
corporate one, available for reviewing by all of your ‘friends’. The
combination of these two feeds is what Facebook calls ‘the stream’”
(p.68) “Facebook was, in many ways, simply the next generation of
software that could ‘learn’ your personal preferences and customize
advertisements just for you.” (P.69) . . . . Facebook has universal appeal to people of every age. Facebook
is becoming multimedia platform with 850 million photos uploaded to
Facebook every month and 7 million videos in 2009. 
Our minds have a central place in
our spiritual lives. Romans 12: 2 teaches that we need to be
transformed by the renewing of our minds and that without this renewal
we cannot know God’s will. Without the knowledge of God’s will, we won’t
be able to live lives that are pleasing to God. Moreover, we are to
love God with our minds, because He created us as rational beings in
His own image and likeness and intellectual growth is an integral part
of spiritual growth. That is what we learn from the life of our Lord
Jesus Christ (Luke 2:46-47 & 52) and the lives of Daniel and his
friends (Daniel 1:4 & 17). Even in the Christian life it is very critical,
because it is a discipline that strengthens the mind and enriches the
soul. Strengthening the mind is very important, because we are to serve
the Lord, our God with all our hearts, with all our souls and with all
our minds. 
The South Asian Christian diaspora is largely invisible in the literature about religion and migration. This is the first comprehensive study of South Asian Christians living in Europe and North America, presenting the main features of these diasporas, their community histories and their religious practices. The South Asian Christian diaspora is pluralistic both in terms of religious adherence, cultural tradition and geographical areas of origin. This book gives justice to such pluralism and presents a multiplicity of cultures and traditions typical of the South Asian Christian diaspora. Issues such as the institutionalization of the religious traditions in new countries, identity, the paradox of belonging both to a minority immigrant group and a majority religion, the social functions of rituals, attitudes to language, generational transfer, and marriage and family life, are all discussed.
POPULAR actress Nagma opened up about her faith and mission in her life for the first time to the media in an exclusive interview with The Christian Messenger. This newspaper’s founding editor Robin Sam spoke to her for close to five hours in an exhaustive interview concerning her faith, the recent issue over her testimony at Nalumavadi in Tamil Nadu, the rising violence against Christians, her personal life and plans for the future. Excerpts: When did you come to realize the saving power of Jesus Christ? I was born on Christmas to a Muslim mother and a Hindu father. I went to a convent school from childhood. I was exposed to Christianity from a young age. I went to Mount Mary Convent School in Bandra, Mumbai. There, Mass was a routine feature. I always thought I am very special to God because I was born on Dec 25th - perhaps because the world celebrated the day.
One thing I have written before is that Satan, our enemy, loves to imitate the things of God and make a mockery of the things he cannot imitate. In her book, True to His Ways, Ms. Davis goes into great depths pointing out the biblical errors in major counterfeit religious beliefs of our day. The information given on the spiritual dangers of yoga is invaluable in regards to biblical discernment. Christians who think that yoga is a harmless form of exercise to relieve stress are deceived. Just like Eve, these Christians are eating a forbidden fruit of spiritual destruction. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: - Genesis 3:4 [KJV]
A Biblical Approach to Indian Traditions and Beliefs fills a need for Indian Christians who are searching for guidance when confronted with beliefs, traditions, rituals and practices in the non-Christian Indian community. This book: * Reveals the truth about Christian living. * Discusses certain Indian spiritual and religious practices. * Gives advice on the daily struggles of believers. Written from the agape (love) perspective, this resource is helpful for the new convert to Christianity, the generational Christian who may need to adjust his life, and leaders who seek some form of consistency in approaching the Indian Diaspora. 
One of the most important things for a child of God is to be obedient to Him. The Bible says obedience is better than sacrifice. Baptism is a step of obedience for the believer to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ as found in Matthew 28:19-20 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. Henceforth, water baptism is not a personal choice, but a command for all believers (Mark 16:16). 
The greatest army the world has ever seen is being assembled, made up of men, women and children, people from every tribe, tongue and nation. The educated and uneducated, poor and rich are all responding to the trumpet call. The army is being assembled on every continent of our planet. It is an army greater than our world has ever seen, more powerful than any historical, or present day army. They will be a mighty force for the Kingdom in these last days. . . No longer will they be apologetic, passive, survivors but instead militant Kingdom advancers in their cities, nations and the world. . . . The world will become darker and more evil but this army will become stronger and their light brighter. They will be a beacon of hope to the lost and will save many from the dominion of darkness into the Kingdom of light. The world has not seen anything like this army before. 
To quote Philip Jenkins in the first chapter: “We are currently living through one of the transforming moments in the history of religion worldwide. Over the past five centuries or so, the story of Christianity has been inextricably bound up with that of Europe and European-derived civilizations overseas, above all in North America. Until recently, the overwhelming majority of Christians have lived in White nations, allowing theorists to speak smugly, arrogantly, of ‘European Christian’ civilization. Conversely, radical writers have seen Christianity as an ideological arm of Western imperialism…” 
We're not talking about the McDonald's slogan "I'm loving it!" but a love for Indian Statistics. Indian statistics is mind blowing in its diversity, numbers, nature, scope and even numbingly shocking in its type of reported cases that can only happen in India. India is going through a mega-shift revolution being catapulted from the pre-modern to the post-modern era with ramifications in all sheres of social, economic, educational, financial, societal and family life. Dr. JN Manokaran is an expert at this 'numbers game' so read on and discover an India you never knew.
