I sat down to ponder: what kind of a heart and mind does God desire? As I try to summarize in simple terms as to what it takes to please God, let me say that I stand the risk of missing out a lot things. My words will fall short. But I sincerely pray and… Continue reading Heart and Mind that pleases God

Practicing contentment
Am I content with what I have in life? I'm afraid not - there are a lot of lusts lurking in my heart - they surface without warning. But I fight without giving up and God has been faithful to save me from error every time I make a sincere effort. And here's what I… Continue reading Practicing contentment
Back to basics…
I felt that I had lost focus in my walk with Christ. So I sat down to pen down what's essential and what's not. Pondering silently over my Savior's words, I began to see clearly. And here's what I found: I re-discovered that the priority is always on knowing God, loving Him, obeying Him and… Continue reading Back to basics…

"Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus" is a wonderfully articulated testimony of a young Muslim (Nabeel Qureshi, the author) who comes face to face with the facts and claims of Christianity. He challenges it, tests its claims, finds it to be reliable and then turns back to test the claims of his own faith - Islam - with… Continue reading Finding Jesus

Never forgetting that it is the Lord Who chose me and began His work in me and is keeping… Continue reading Seeking to Persevere
Once Saved Always Saved ?
"Once Saved Always Saved?", is a wonderful book that I'm currently reading, written by theologian David Pawson. David points his readers to the Scripture and brings fresh perspective to the question, "Can a Christian lose his salvation?" I'm not a Calvinist (though I was for a brief period). Though I don't agree with the… Continue reading Once Saved Always Saved ?
Prayer 101
Prayer 101 is a wonderful book on Prayer written by the well-known Bible teacher, Warren W. Wiersbe. I highly recommend this book. This is probably the best book I've read on the subject of "Prayer". Why? Wiersbe's style is simple and easy to understand. He never uses complicated theological terminologies but keeps things simple and… Continue reading Prayer 101
