    The attitude of a child is the attitude of knowing you are incomplete, and need to grow, to change, to take the risk to be wrong.

    It’s Christmas time, when we say the name itself there is joy in many of our faces. No doubt, it’s a time of joy, hope, and celebration on a large scale in many parts of the world. The question here is, were these celebrations in any way related to the true meaning of Christmas?

    The Church has lost primary focus on Missions and Evangelism, fellowship rather involved accusing one another on the basis of food, clothes, and a few habits pertaining to various cultural identities, causing many to stumble in their faith walk and lose their commitment to Christ and to the Church.

The Kingdom of God is spiritual, apolitical, and beyond food and drinks. Discussion of Foods and their habits ...read more
