Dearly Beloved,

BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL!

"Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great: You are clothed with honor and majesty?" (Psalm 104:1 NKJV).

The book of Psalms is full of praises of, and prayers to God. Psalms 103 and 104 are distinct out of the other psalms because of their description of who God is and what He is doing to us that make Him deserve our worship, adoration, praises and thanksgiving.

Let us examine first who God is in Psalm…

Ephesians 5:25

Tells husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church. Verse 28 adds that husbands should “love their wives as their own bodies.” Verse 33 reiterates that “each husband must love his wife as he loves himself.” This passage leaves no doubt about the primary responsibility of husbands to their wives:…

If you’ve spent a lot…

Dearly Beloved,

THERE IS A BETTER FUTURE

"The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. The sorrows for the appointed feasts I will remove from you; they are a burden and a reproach to you" (Zephaniah 3:17-18 NIV).

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future'"…

OUR “ON TIME” GOD!

This story of Mary, Martha and Lazarus is found in the Bible when Jesus Christ raised Lazarus from the dead after four days, in the Gospel of John and the 11th chapter. Do read the STORY.

“Four Days Late yet on Time” is a song I heard sung by many singers earlier but I was made aware of the truth this song covers when it was sung by Bruce Groves at our fund raising Carol Concert of Home Missionary Society of India, Sydney Auxiliary in 2011, I think.

Dearly Beloved,

WHAT BELONGS TO CAESAR?

“[Jesus] said to them, ‘Then give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God’” (Luke 20:25 ERV).

We were in a Sunday School class recently when a participant privately told me that we can sin at times since Jesus Christ said that we should give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. He further said that giving to God what belongs to God is when we come to church to worship Him. I immediately refuted his opinion and…

I have been involved in discussions about the role of “Christian Ethics” in the life and policies of the United States of America. This brings up the question as to whether or not this is essentially a “Christian Nation”. Here are some thoughts on the subject that may shed some light on the topic and hopefully will give you a new understanding of the role of Christianity in the society and culture of America.…

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS

As many of you'll know that one pastor is arrested for preaching on Tirupati Hills, he is taken in custody and sentenced for 3 years in prison.

Now the BJP and TDD(Tirupati religious group who have temples across AP and Telangana) are conducting rallies against Christianity, stating that we are converting people and earning money. Even in Himaytnagar, TDD people have started the procession.

This is a very sensitive…

Dearly Beloved,

SERVE GOD WITH JOY

“Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything...” (Deuteronomy 28:47 NKJV).

The first fourteen verses of Deuteronomy chapter 28 are well known by many people because of the promises of God that are there. On the contrary, few people care to study the remaining fifty-four verses in the chapter because of the curses in those latter verses. However, those verses full of curses…
