    Contributed by Bala Samson on Apr 16, 2023
     | 1,312 views

    Sickening to watch people wear surplus of gold on their neck, yardstick to measure success should be exemplary character and strong mind rather than gold and wealth.

    TRUST GOD NOT GOLD Job 31:24 “If I have put my trust in gold or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’…..then these also would be sins to be judged, for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.” There is a kind of obsession for gold these days, in places like South India gold and diamonds ...read more

    Our eternal salvation is secure because of Christ, but when it comes to the daily routine of following the Lord, we desperately need God's grace each day.

    Every now and then I receive, or send, a package labeled "Fragile: Handle With Care." It might be a very expensive crystal vase inside, or maybe it is just a small toy, but the purpose of the label is to warn the friendly UPS, or Postal Service, employee that if they are not careful how they handle ...read more

    What are the implications if no one cares about the dillusioned, the desperate, or those who have made poor decisions? What if no one cares for the soul, the essence, of others?

    He had been running so long and so hard. Running from everything. What an irony that he of all people had had to flee for his very life! He had been on the upswing, he had been successful in everything. He had been the fair-haired lad in the eyes of those who counted, and had even married into ...read more

Vs.1 says: “Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.” That is like a call from ...read more

    Her faith had moved Jesus to heal her, her hunger and thirst for Jesus....not her condition and certainly not her pleas, brought about the miracle she was so desperately seeking! Amen?
