    For the Christian, purity ought to be more precious than life, for without purity we can never really have life. If we are going to enjoy the blessings of God in this life and in the one to come, possessing a pure heart is not an optional quality.

    BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART Study Text: Matthew 5: 8 Introduction: - The heart is used metaphorically to signify the inner person – the heart is the control centre of a man’s mind, emotions and will. It is our invisible innermost being which shapes our lives, attitudes, convictions, ...read more

That’s worth stopping to ponder: God sets Himself against such people. God will actively work against the proud. I ...read more

    Helping Children To Know God

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 10, 2015
     | 5,287 views

    Children need to know God's Truth; they can't simply take on their parent's beliefs, but need to understand and receive the truth of God on their own. Parents have a responsibility to guide children in the way they're to go.

    Being a parent is an enormous responsibility. I can’t think of anything in life that’s more challenging. I’ve been to war, and I’ve had kids; war was easier. Proverbs 22:6 tells parents to “Train up children in the way they should go, and when they are old, they ...read more

    Home: The Place Where God Is Unvieled

    Contributed by Rev. Jijo Varghese on Oct 6, 2014
     | 6,153 views

    Which is the best place for a child to learn? Its none other but our own homes. Home is the best and the first school of an individual. A home can build and and home can break an individual.

    The main theme of the Church was Theological Education: Equipping People of God. The theme is quite relevant in this era. But I felt it to be too scholastic to be preached in Church where the community is mixed and all don’t enjoy high funda theology. Taking that into consideration I thought ...read more
