There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Rom 8:1 There are far too many Christians who continue to live with guilt day in day out. This is a paradox to true Christianity. Before we get further into the details, let us first of all, answer the question whether guilt is good or bad. In one sense, guilt is good because it leads one to confess... 

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Luke 12:27 We spend a lot of time worrying over things that we cannot change. The bible asks a very appropriate question, “And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest?” It does not end... 

And he said, “Leg Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, ” I will not let You go unless you bless me!” Gen 32:26 Many a times we let go so soon. Jacob knew that all riches in the universe, whether temporal, or spiritual belong to God. Therefore after wrestling with God for the whole night to the point of his hip joint getting dislocated, he made the deliberate decision not to let go of God unless He blessed him.... 

The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Psalm 90:10 Robert Orben once said, “Time flies. It’s up to you to be the navigator.” The bible says, “our days are seventy years”. If you do the simple math of multiplying seventy years by 365 days that make a year, the total comes to... 

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him 1 John 5:14-15 Christ, the divine son of God, spent a lot of time in solitary, praying to His Father. The book of Luke 5:16 says, “So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.” Christ, recognized... 

A story is told, of a father and his son who had been planning for a while, to go mountain climbing. They made all the necessary plans before the day and got all the equipment that was needed for the great task ahead of them. On the D day, they woke up early enough, put their stuff together and set out towards the mountain. They began the long trudge up and all seemed to go well at the beginning. Something however went wrong when they got... 

Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. Col 4:5,6 You have probably heard of the “moving billboards”-normally, this are private vehicles whose owners have signed contracts with companies to have their cars painted with commercials that advertise the companies’ products. Needless to say,... 

If one part hurts, every other part is involved in the hurt, and in the healing. If one part flourishes, every other part enters into the exuberance 1 Cor. 12:26 Paul uses the example of the human body to represent the family of Christ. We know from common experience that whenever any part of our physical body is hurting, the entire body suffers-if for instance, our hand is cut off from the rest of the body, we will experience pain and we... 

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 1 John 2:19 We, the human race are social by nature and that explains why we have the need to be with each other. In one’s lifetime, bonds will be created and bonds will be broken-this is a given. The problem however is that we have not always... 

Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. Matt 5:7 In one of the beatitudes, Jesus talks about an aspect that is pivotal in our day to day life-Mercy. Christ himself is the personification of “mercy.” The character of mercy is depicted during Christ’s entire ministry here on earth-He was merciful to the woman who was caught in adultery, He was merciful to the paralytic who was brought to him on a bed, He was...
