The grumbler said, "Well, the coldest place I know of is the church down the street, let's go there..." Now, that has been told as a joke on many occasions, but all the humor is drained from it, because it is the truth in many cases. Beloved, God never meant for His church to be a ...read more

God, The Mother. Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on May 23, 2025

We rarely remember God as mother. We were taught to call God as “Father”. Not a physical sense but a more spiritual. “Our Father, who art in heaven…” But Mother’s Day is as appropriate occasion to recapture the biblical maternal images for God.
