An Inspiring Story of Mr. Om Prakash: Gov. Servant > Christ’s Servant
Now a pastor in Pataudi, Mr. Om Prakash 70 yrs old, was born in a small village named Mandpura, Haryana. His story of conversion and call to mission is quite intriguing and inspiring. I recently had a privilege of getting to know this great life. Hope it serves you for the good.
He had been happily working for a quite a long time with NHPC in gov. service with a salary of 60,000+ a month back in 90s (Around 850 $ USD). Which was pretty high government pay of the time. Interestingly...

ISIS Unearthed the King of the Bible
As a new believer I, sometimes, used to wonder that why the Bible is put on as number one on the list of The Great Books of the World by various sources and why it is the most reproduced, read and researched book of the world. It didn’t take me any longer to know that Bible is not just a book that can transform the lives by its message but it can outright defeat any/every critic who challenges its legitimacy and reliability.
ISIS, in making tunnel for the black market to sell booty, unexpectedly...

Itching-ear Preaching
2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
I remember an incident happened years ago when I was invited to speak in a church and pastor asked me “kindly speak something only positive and inspirational because a preacher who spoke on sin and judgment previously was never invited again”. Funny isn’t it?
Very few of...

HOPE: AN ANCHOR FOR LIFE
Romans 15:13 is a
wonderful prayer that Paul wants every believer to experience: “Now may the God
of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound
in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
So far I haven’t come
across anyone saying, “I’m not concerned about having joy and peace and I don’t
want to abound in hope.” In fact, we all want and need these qualities, and yet
among us very few can reasonably claim to be filled with joy, peace and hope.
Here I would...

GANESHA CHATURTHI AND ECO-CRISIS
As the day
of Ganesh visarjan nears my memory goes back to my teenage days. I remember
sleepless night, during the festival just before the morning Visarjan of
the idol, engulfed with the extreme fun and the moment of fellowshipping,
singing, dancing and worshipping. Back
then idols would amount from 50 rs to 50,000- 1 lac in Raipur city. I must say
that most of the youngsters involved in the activity are there not because of
any religiosity or piety towards any god or goddess but for...

FORGIVEN TO FORGIVE
Recently I have been reading, “Why I forgive the Nazis who murdered my family: Eva Kor made it out of Auschwitz but her family was killed in the gas chambers. In a new documentary she explains why, despite protest from other Holocaust survivors, she has decided to forgive” and one of my friends asked me to write something about forgiveness while other friend was going through a hard time to forgive.
Forgiveness is central in Christian ethics and is a frequent topic in sermons and...
