    When you visit a church building what strikes you most? Is it the majestic steeple pointing heavenward toward the God we worship? How about the mosaic of colors from a stained-glass window that portray the life of Christ? It could be you are most struck by the contrast of a solitary cross on a ...read more

A reviewer writes: Overload is not having time to finish the book you’re reading on stress. Margin is having time to read ...read more

    God’s Dwelling Place

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 15, 2025
     | 240 views

    In a world constantly seeking a place to belong, to feel safe, and to be loved, the scriptures come as a refreshing reminder that God has chosen us to be His dwelling place. His desire has been consistently clear: to dwell among His people, not in buildings made by human hands.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Story of John Wesley’s dream of first going to hell and then heaven and realizing only Christians were in heaven and not the denominations. Only when God dwells in us, we have eternity with Him. INTRODUCTION: In a world constantly seeking a place to belong, to feel safe, and ...read more

    To show that GOD does not want us to interpret the bible privately for our own sole purpose but according to His own purpose with His HOLY SPIRIT interpreting it for us.
