As I started to pursue the call of God in my life, I was not sure
whether I should be in full time ministry. Two or three years I was in
dilemma about this matter. But the desire to teach and preach the word
of God increased still more. After that I joined in a Bible college
which God directed me to join. A lot of maturity and revelation came to
me those days. God miraculously provided all the fees I needed to finish
it. I found true joy and peace as I obeyed the voice of God. Praise the
Lord! . . . . Even from the day I heard God, the burden to reach out to
the nation of India and China which are the most populated nations and
to the nations with the word of God increased in me. I Have Found My Purpose, Have You?

Eagles are the only birds that loves the storm. When all other birds try
to flee from the storm and hide itself from the fierceness of it,
eagles fly in to it and will use the wind of the strom to rise higher in
a fraction of seconds. It uses the pressure of the storm to glide
higher without using its own energy. It is able to do this because God
has created it uniquely with an ability to lock its wings in a fixed
position, in the midst of the fierce storm winds. After a certain period
of experiencing storms face to face, the eagles love to play in the
storms. As we
face the stormy wind of afflictions in life, the Holy Spirit helps us
lock our mind in a fixed position with the grace of God through faith in
the finished work of the Cross, which helps us not to spend our energy
but just stay in the storm and enjoy the lift and height of heavenly
mindedness in a greater and greater altitude. 
I had so many odds against me – I do not have any money, I do not have a
passport or a valid birth certificate. I battled in my mind and thought
for many days “Is it possible for me to go to Singapore with nothing in
my hand and on a very short notice?” My father encouraged me with these
words from the book of Romans “The Just Shall Live By Faith” and told
me to read, meditate and pray these words over my life. I took a step of faith and immediately began the process of planning to go to the School of Theology in Singapore.. . . . I totally depended on God for everything – for finances, for a lap-top,
for friends, for food, for travel and living arrangements. God gave me
many good friends from many different countries of the world, provided
for my every need and even a lap-top for my personal use. 
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.
As I am preparing to give a lecture on this topic, and I have never earlier spoken or written on it, I thought I might post the outline to get the benefit of your thoughts:
Indian nationals settling down in Singapore due to its friendly-environment, now account for about a quarter of the total 1.79 million foreigners and permanent residents' population, a newspaper reported today. 
Then God called Jeremiah, he replied, "
Christians are familiar with what has become the most famous short story all in the Bible. It was narrated by none other than Jesus himself and is commonly called ‘the parable of the Prodigal Son’ (Lk.15: 11-24). All of us humans are on a journey of discovery and in examining the experiences of this young person we notice 3 obvious facts directly related to his and our ‘pursuit of happiness’ 
National and local leaders (like New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg)
are revealing their true views regarding religious freedom, their
willingness to fight or pander to terrorist groups, as well as their
love and respect for the Christian religion. For example, while Mayor
Bloomberg is passionately supporting the building of the Ground Zero
mosque, thus far he has not said anything publicly about helping the
Greek Orthodox people rebuild after their church building was destroyed
when one of the World Trade Center towers collapsed upon it on 9/11. 
By definition, a narcissist is a person who believes the world revolves
around them to such an extent their own desires blind them to relational
reality which makes them insensitive to the needs and perspectives of
others. One of the sad realities in our consumer driven, hedonistic
culture is that we are producing millions of narcissistic people
including leaders of large organizations. Because of our sinful nature as human beings, all of us have some narcissistic tendencies to deal with.

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). 
When I was growing up, there was a boy in my neighbourhood who was much loved and pampered and given the best that his family could afford. The parents were extremely nice and everyone in the community liked them. The father was a government employee, and the family had all sorts of dreams for the boy. I used to think how lucky he was and was sure he would go far. The family, however, moved away and I lost touch with them. 
You may recollect that it is two years since the massacres took place in Orissa, India.
There are millions of deceived people in this nation who believe they
are still following Christ when in fact they are not. What makes it
deceiving is that some are still regularly attending Sunday church
services and/or reading the Bible and praying on occasion. Before
we continue let me first define what I mean in this article by the word
“backslider.” By backslider I mean a person who is losing ground
spiritually and is not as committed to growing, seeking, and loving
Christ as they did at one time in their life. Backsliding is a
spiritual disease that many leaders are afraid to confront and many in
the church are afraid to admit. Some of these signs may fit a
backslider, but in many cases just one of these signs is enough to fit
the category of backslider. 
The tech-savvy people of our world might feel deterred because there are no sounds and no nifty graphics in the Bible. But the truth is, there’s more high-tech power in God’s Word than in any cutting-edge communication tool our world will ever know.

Prepping for preaching on masculinity this Sunday and came across this quote:
A news release with the above title has come to my attention, which I include in its entirety below. Abuse of power by bureaucrats and politicians is a huge problem in India. My advice to Mr Nath is to start a movement aimed at eliminating such abuses.
