Poor Man!

Watch this video and hear what he says. Poor Man!

How can you blame someone…

• for his ignorance or ‘a little knowledge’? (A little knowledge is a dangerous thing!)
• who doesn’t know what Bible is and what old and new testaments are! (he quotes most of times from the old testament without knowing what it actually is for Christians and Jews)
• who doesn’t know who Moses is for Christians and for Jews
• who thinks bible is corrupted and tries to support his arguments from the verses in it. (how illogical can he be!)
• who thinks verses from Bible can be cleaved out and manipulate as he wishes without considering the contest . (I wonder whether he has ever read the entire chapter when he mentioned Psalm 84:5)

• who has never experienced god in his life. (he knows God only through books and preachers or friends)
• who can’t think about the ‘unity of Holy Trinity’ just as he exists in body, soul and spirit. (think about his body without soul/spirit!)
• who has only seen ‘name-sake Christians’ who say they are Christians because their progenitors where so or because they go to church. (He has never seen TRUE Christians who LIVES [not just practise but LIVES] THE WAY Christ taught them)
• who thinks Christianity is all about Catholic or some Orthodox churches and what they ‘practise/do’ is the symbol of true Christians.
• who believes that portrait drawn of Jesus Christ is His real image as most of the name-sake Christians do.
• who thinks ALL people who come to church are true followers of Christ (just as he went to a church to find girls wearing short skirts and décolleté dresses)

• who has never seen people who genuflects for hours long in prayer (not for 10 or 20 minutes)
• who thinks someone can pray to God ONLY by kneeling down and touching their face/forehead on the ground five times a day (I wonder what he would do if a truck approaches him at 100 miles an hour from a distance of 10 or 20 meters)
• who has never even heard about people who fasts and exists just on water for months long IN PRAYER. (not just fasting at daytime and doing what ever you want and eating whole night for a month long)
• who has never seen people who gave their entire wealth for poor and started following Jesus (He might have at least heard about Christians who give out tithe as offering [not mere 2.5 %])
• who has never heard about HOLY life (he [may] knows only about MORAL life as his religion teaches)
• who has never come across people who loves their enemies, friends and fellow beings (collectively called ‘neighbours’) as themselves
• who has never heard about true Christians who wait upon God for everything not simply saying 'God willing' verbally. (of course they do say 'God willing' but not just the verbal delivery only)
• who has never seen TRUE Christian ladies wearing veil not just for praying but all the time and wear dress mostly in white covering their body in decent way

• who states arguments without any evidence (Don’t know which geography/archaeological record states that 'Mount Paran' is in KSA)
• who loves NY more than his God (but luckily he found time to learn some Arabic words at least to greet people)
• who has never read Surah 43:61 and understood the fact of second coming of Jesus Christ.

Let God help him to understand the truth and worship and follow Him with His saints and not with hypocrites or heathens. God have mercy!

A little slumber...

“…Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was picked up dead…” (Acts. 20:7-12)

Most of the born again Christians are like Eutychus: such a man thinks, “I am a saved man, baptised by water and Holy Spirit, I have been listening to sermons and reading Bible for years and I know every thing well. Moreover, I have read all the deeper truth books and now I know what to do and what not to”. So he reckons that he can have a little slumber or rest. And hence he continues, “Nothing is going to happen even if I don’t go for a meeting or if I go late or even if I don’t listen to a sermon”. However, Bible says such a person is lukewarm (Rev. 3:16). Nonetheless, he imagines, “anyway God knows me well; I am so pious and have done nothing against Him. Moreover, I have even endured hardships in His name. So he won’t allow devil to crush me”. No, No, No… You are terribly wrong! God says he is going to spit us of out of His mouth since we are neither cold nor hot (Rev. 3:16). And dear child of God, devil is waiting in waylay to take control over you at that same moment and make your come back next to impossible.

Eutychus was sinking into deep sleep. Dear reader, if you loose your interest in spiritual things (sinking in spiritually) make notice that you are going to fall down (spiritual fall down). Even if you are at a higher level of spirituality (third story) you are going to die (Spiritual death). Infact higher the fall, the more certain is death. But don’t worry, as the last part of the verse says, a servant of God’s care (Paul’s arms around him) can bring you back to Christian life. A little slumber made him to fall down. Likewise, our lukewarmness can cause spiritual fall down and ultimately a death. All the hardships you endured for God’s name will be in vain. So it is time to examine your life before God and come back to His flock.

Everything is permissible, but not everything...

Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible, but not everything is constructive… (1 Corinthians 10:23)

Here in this text, St. Paul tries to admonish the believers about their freedom. He ratifies that everything is permissible to a man, but as a believer we should ponder whether what we are going to do is beneficial to us and other believers. Again he asserts that we are permissible to do everything but as a believer we should do things that are serving to improve our spiritual life.

I have heard many believers asking…

•What is wrong in watching a movie/TV or reading a Harry Potter book?

•What is wrong in going for a football match or enjoying at an adventure park or playing a non violent video game?

•What is wrong in hanging out with friends and sharing trivial jokes and engaging in some pranks?


They call it all innocent amusements. Dear children of God, definitely as Paul said, ask your self what is there to edify your soul from all these so called ‘innocuous amenities’? No amusement is sinless… we engage in it because we need it, we involve in it and squander our precious time, we partake in it and waste money which Lord gave us.

When you feel like watching a movie sit in your prayer closet and dream about Lord’s soon coming and you being caught up at rapture and think about what should be done to make that sure. Rather than reading Harry Potter stories, read some biblical story books or glance at biographies of saints which can mould your Christian life. When you feel like going for a football match or enjoy at an adventure park or play a video game, take the challenge to go down on your knees for some time and pray and fill in the Holy Spirit and enjoy the God’s love towards you and praise him. When you feel like hanging out with friends, go and meet your Christian friends or servants of God rather than sharing trivial matters talk about challenges of Christian youth in the modern society or talk about last Sunday’s sermon and thus edify yourself and them.

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48) Be ye holy; for I am holy. (1 Peter 1:16)

What to pray? How to pray?

Most of us pray once or twice a day or some people may be more than that. Nonetheless, what do we pray? How do we pray? Is there any significance in that? I have seen many people crying and praying at temples before their gods, at some churches and at shrines of saints. Will all that be counted worthy by our living God? If not, what should we pray then and how? God’s people know that if we waste our tears on material needs and motives we won’t have tears left for our spiritual needs. Here let me share the thoughts which I received from the God while I was asking these questions to Him.

· First and the foremost is to pray whenever we can.

· Secondly, pray everyday that we should be worthy enough to escape the tribulation and stand irreproachably before Son of Man. That is, pray that we should be caught up at the rapture or should die in God and be resurrected at the time of rapture and join Him.

· Thirdly, pray everyday that God should make us wealthy enough to praise and worship him and pray with out fail. Pray that God should not make us very wealthy that we may forget him and not too poor that we start to supplicate for self pity and material needs.

· Last but not least, Pray everyday that God gives us enough wisdom to win more souls for His kingdom. Pray that we won’t be fool and be deceived and loose our salvation and pray that we won’t be too wise to argue with others and loose them from God.
