"A Different Christmas"

A Different Christmas -1 Materialism and Capitalism are two concepts that rule the world today. Slowly but surely our festivals have become more about ourselves and less about the Lord. We are so lost in giving and receiving gifts that we end up forgetting ‘The Giver of Life’. We are so busy sharing our little stories that we miss sharing ‘The Greatest Story Ever Told’. It worries me that many of us this Christmas are forgetting the most important lessons that the Lord wanted us to learn through the Christmas story: Submission, Faith and Humility. Submission: She had dreams, hopes and aspirations just like any other bride preparing for her wedding. Life had been good to her, she was content with what she had, and though chaos surrounded her, she was at peace because she had faith in God. She believed in Jehovah and she knew that He had not abandoned them. Living under foreign rulers was not exactly pleasant but she knew that the Messiah woul...

"If there is a Christian then what is he doing?"

If you are finding it hard to understand the reason for this blog, then probably you are new to my world. A world filled with these wonderful people, with wonderful Christian names, but their lives are anything but Christian. A world where Christianity is screamed out from microphones, than from lives. A world that does not know where it is headed. 33% of the people on planet earth claim to be Christians. If all these people were actually Christ’s followers then we would not need songs like ‘Heal the world’. The so called ‘Leader of the nations’, America, which once praised ‘God’ in everything, from their national anthem to their currency, has not only unanimously decided to take ‘Christ’ out of ‘Christmas’, but also it has lost sight of the ‘God’ it use to believe in and worship. If you think that there is nothing much we can do about America. Then let’s come back to the Indian Christian. Try reading the news paper for a week and make a note of the articles were Christian name...

“If there is a God what is He doing?”

As I sat and read the paper, this is what I thought, “If there is a God what is He doing? What’s with the sickness, the floods, the wars, the pain, the stress, the poverty, the hunger? If there is a God, and if He cares like the spiritualists tell me, He should sure be sleeping. Else he won’t let us get so…STUCK!!” Just look at our generation self-obsessed, greedy, pleasure-seeking, thoughtless, mercy less and emotion less. Probably you my friends who are reading this would disagree, but lay back and think, we do what we do, we do it for ourselves. We study for our future, we work for our salary, we live for our glory, and we die for our glory. “Why God? If you are there, Why have you let us get here, why have you let us become like this? Why have I become the seeker of “I-Pods, I-Pads, I-Life and I-Glory? Why God!!!” I rambled on in my thoughts, I looked at my life, I looked the lives of my friends searching a sign of God, I looked at outside the window, looked at people in the...
