Christmas is almost here. Everywhere you look, there is excitement and activity. Families rush to buy new clothes, plan trips, and prepare the best food for celebrations. Homes shine with lights, laughter fills the rooms, and families coming home make everything feel festive. Yet in the middle of all this excitement, Christmas often becomes more about our own comfort, desires, and plans than about Jesus. For many people, Christmas has become so busy that it draws attention aw

Have you ever felt too weak, too flawed, or too unworthy to be used by God? Perhaps you’ve looked at your life and seen more failures than victories, more questions than confidence, more trembling than strength. Maybe you’ve wondered whether God could ever call someone like you—someone who feels ordinary, unsure, or even broken.   If you’ve ever felt this way, you are in good company. Moses felt it too. And his story reminds us that God often begins His greatest works in the

People often ask, “If we are a Christian society, why do we still see corruption, hatred, violence, and injustice among us?” It is a painful question because the answer is not far away, it sits within us. Corruption does not begin in government offices alone. Murder does not begin with weapons. Hatred does not begin in public arguments. These things begin quietly inside the human heart. Many of us have grown up in church traditions—praying, singing, attending services, and le

Many people carry silent battles within themselves and within the walls of their own homes. Behind beautiful smiles, there are hidden pains, and laughter sometimes covers wounds that are deep within. For some, life becomes just breathing without a sense of direction or joy. They wake up each day trying to survive rather than live. Home, which should be a place of love and safety, becomes a place where peace is lost and hearts grow cold. Many live under one roof but not in one

For many Christian students, campus life serves as a time of spiritual transformation, growth, and community building. Marked by close fellowships, Bible studies, and prayer meetings, it’s often a season when faith feels vibrant and well-supported. During this time, many students make strong commitments to continue serving the Lord—some realistic, others perhaps idealistic. The flame for the Gospel burns high. But after graduation, something begins to shift. Outside the famil

When God promised Israel a land flowing with milk and honey, it wasn’t an empty promise. God doesn’t play around with His promises. He brought them out of Egypt because of His covenant, and He had already secured their future. As they approached Canaan, God instructed Moses to send twelve men—one from each tribe—to explore the land He had promised them. The twelve went, explored the land, and returned with their report. Ten of them spoke not only of the physical obstacles—say

A lot of people ask if I am in a romantic relationship, especially as I approach the age when marriage is expected. This question isn’t just directed at me; it is something people of my age and beyond have been asked in every generation. Marriage has always been a central part of our conversations and expectations. We constantly witness weddings on our social media feeds, and the more we see them, the more people, either seriously or humorously, ask if we have a partner to ma

Much has been said about the need to reach out to young people, particularly students. We've seen countless discussions, sessions, and talks emphasizing the importance of addressing their needs. Many graduates and elders are eager to contribute their resources to connect with these students. But beyond simply reaching out, there is an even greater need for mentorship. However, are we genuinely taking effective steps to engage and mentor the young people we so often talk about

It is inevitable that the world is moving towards an inclusive community where each individual is valued and regarded regardless of their differences and challenges. A quick Google search defines an inclusive society as "a society that values and accepts the diversity of its members, promotes equal opportunities and rights, and fosters a sense of belonging among all individuals, regardless of their background, identity, or ability." While inclusivity has its positive impacts

“Mind your own business” and “Let them mind theirs” have become lifestyle mantras in today’s selfish, stubborn, and faithless society. This mindset has grown popular because people are tired of unnecessary interference in their lives. And yes, it’s true—there is wisdom in not meddling where we don’t belong. But while it's important not to intrude meaninglessly, it's equally unwise to ignore the wrongs happening around us. Many choose to “mind their own business” even when the

An extract from the “Emotional Purity-An affair of the heart” by Heather Arnel Paulsen with some additions from other source and personal views. Much has been taught and preached about physical and sexual purity. In fact, throughout the Scripture, we are warned of such physical immorality. The Bible condemns any sexual or physical intimation outside marriage and we Christians believe and follow the Scripture. But what we often do not recognize is the subject or topic of emoti

Brought up from a society where women are always considered low in their positions, they are always held responsible for the failure of their husbands and family members. Further, women are always held responsible for the wrongs men committed against them. Women are never right in whatever they do. Men always enjoy superiority and rights over women. We were taught to give more wages to men than to women because a woman is inferior to men. There are instances where women alway

“You will not pass the final exam with this handwriting.” said my teacher. I was in 10 th Standard sitting in the classroom with my classmates when my teacher said those words to me. I felt hopeless, clueless, and useless. I knew I have bad handwriting. I started to question “How in the world would I pass my exam if my teacher has no more hope in me because they know who can and who cannot make it as they are teaching us?”. For the first time in my 12 years (at that year) of

"If others can, why can't you?” is one of the most popular phrases used against students and youngsters. The phrase is indeed very encouraging and helps us boost our capability. However, the question to the phrase can be raised such as, "What if others have the ability I don't have and I have the ability others don't have?".  Each one of us is born with different gifts and purposes. What others can do does not necessarily mean you can do that too. If all of us are born with t

The article is written as a tribute to my beloved sister-in-law, whose husband (my brother) passed away and whose life is an inspiration for me personally to be strong, faithful, and committed. Growing up in a culture where women were seen as inferior and weaker, I was taught to accept this as truth. “God made Adam first and then created Eve only to help him,” the society said. But does this truly reflect God's intention in forming a woman from Adam’s rib? The Bible makes it
